Eric Church talks rearranging hits for his Outsiders Revival Tour, the ongoing influence of Bruce Springsteen, and his superb Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit.
, for the first time. “We had a timeslot and I went out there to play that slot and try to show a little bit, a peek, as to what I was working on for this tour. I’m not going to give everything, but I’m going to give a little peek of what this could be. And there were a couple of production things that I was not responsible for — when the lights went up [at the end of the set], that wasn’t me. But for what I went to do, it was fast and hard. And the shows are that way.
The seven-song CMA Fest set challenged fans with different arrangements of hits like “Drink in My Hand” and “Cold One,” along with a cover of the Little Feat cocaine anthem “Sailin’ Shoes.” Church says he wanted to mix things up. “All the songs are different. All the songs were changed. It was punchy. I didn’t play ‘Springsteen,’ because I have a new version of ‘Springsteen,’” he says of his 2012 chart-topper. “You’ve got to come to a show and see it.”of amphitheaters — a first for the North Carolina native — has teed up a set list that leans heavy on his 2021 triple effort,. Church says he was unable to properly explore those albums on his 2021 Gather Again Tour.
“The last tour was maybe my least favorite, because of Covid weirdness every night. I never got to lean into the. This time, we changed that. Most of [the set] is those two albums,” he says. “If you’re coming to hear ‘Talladega’ and ‘Record Year,’ you ain’t gonna hear them. There are a ton of songs people are leaving going, ‘He didn’t play his hits.’ And, no, we didn’t.”
