Longtime producer Jay Joyce helped him dial back some of the arena-sized heft of The Outsiders in favour of something warmer and rooted in songcraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track is a love letter to the misfits who find salvation in records, name-checking heroes and setting the tone for an album about the power of music itself. \"Record Year\" turns heartbreak into a vinyl binge, which feels especially apt on this format, and \"Mistress Named Music\" is a sweeping confession of devotion to the craft. \"Kill a Word,\" with Rhiannon Giddens, is a haunting meditation on the damage language can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Tedeschi drops by for a bluesy duet, and across ten tracks the playing has a lived-in, back-porch looseness that suits Church's grainy voice down to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who prefer Church at his most heartfelt, this is a high point, and a record that practically begs to be played loud on a Sunday afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269572796721,"sku":"602448462763","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Eric_Church-Mr._Misunderstood_Blue.jpg?v=1793641274","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/eric-church-mr-misunderstood-blue","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
