Eric Church is riding high on the country charts with his latest single, “Talladega.” The song, which uses NASCAR references, isn’t about racing, but about taking you back to a specific period of time that was more carefree.
“I think that’s the most interesting thing about the song is it’s about life, and it’s about freezing life and wishing you could freeze life, and we all wish we could do that,” says Eric. “Really what the best of music is what it does is it transports you back to that time and that place that you wish you could’ve frozen, and in a way you can, because the song does. And it takes you back to when you were that age.”
“Talladega,” which is from Eric’s platinum-selling album The Outsiders, is sitting at No. 2 on the country charts.

And it takes you back to when you were that age. So, for me, I’ve had a few experiences like that that will stand out forever, and it usually involves music in some way that reminds me of it.”
