The Outsiders

Eric Church

A defiant collision of arena rock muscle and outlaw country soul. Gritty, experimental, and unapologetically loud, it redefined the boundaries of the modern genre.

February 11, 2014 · EMI Records Nashville

A restless and gritty exploration of rebellion, memory, and the dark corners of the American South.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the spoken word 'Princess of Darkness' into the heavy blues stomp of 'Devil, Devil'.
The way the drums kick in with a massive, arena-ready thud on the title track's chorus.
The stripped-back, vulnerable crack in the vocal during 'A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young'.
