To some modern country artists, the words critics are using to describe Eric Church\'s third studio album may seem off-putting, but to the trailblazing mutineer and his equally passionate fans, the terms: "strange," "aggressive," "wild," and "rare," couldn\'t be more complimentary.

Country musician Eric Church’s third studio album ‘Chief’ has topped the Billboard album charts taking the No. 1 spot on both the Country and Top 200 and M&C is giving away an autographed copy of the album!

'Chief’ is Church’s third studio album and more than quadrupled the first week sales of his Gold Certified sophomore release ‘Carolina.’ It was only the second country album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 this year and is second highest selling debut for a country release this year behind Brad Paisley. 

The album’s critically acclaimed Top 15 single, “Homeboy,” has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) making this his third Gold Certified career record. 

In a press release, Church stated: “We have always put everything we have into making the best records possible. Complete, individual pieces of work that strive to be as different and innovative as they are creative and artistic. It is a journey that at times has led us down the road less traveled. It is very humbling and rewarding to learn that a lot of people decided to follow us down this path.  I can't thank my fans enough and look forward to where this trip takes us next.”

For ‘Chief,’ Church reunited with producer Jay Joyce (Patty Griffin, Cage the Elephant, Emmylou Harris) - who produced his two prior releases, the 2006 critically-acclaimed debut album, ‘Sinners Like Me’ and the Gold Certified ‘Carolina.’ 

Church’s previous releases generated six Top 20 singles and earned him an ACM Award for New Solo Vocalist of the Year. 

Known for his rowdy, energy packed live shows – Church is currently Toby Keith’s “Locked and Loaded Tour” through October.
