Ten Essential Eric Church Videos

Editor’s note: Church’s Double Down tour continues tonight (May 3) in Pittsburgh. He will headline Nashville’s Nissan Stadium May 25.

Just before his 1952 dismissal from the Grand Ole Opry, Hank Williams interviewed with Nation’s Business (the magazine for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) for an article that examined country music’s popularity around the world.

The statements Williams gave the magazine became some of his most quoted remarks; they’re even engraved on a wall at Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

“You ask what makes our kind of music successful,” Williams said, “I’ll tell you. It can be explained in just one word: sincerity.”

When Eric Church sings (his originals, Williams’ songs or anything else), he embodies every bit of sincerity in country music. That’s why his fans collectively known as the Church Choir have loved his songs ever since the 2006 release of his debut, Sinners Like Me.
