Eric Paslay (Dressed in Black album) OC: …second album. :46
“My first album was just my name.  I figured like everyone has the self-titled first single and first album.  My first album was self-titled and I think through your career you’re always thinking what should I name the second one.  What should I name the third one?  Some artists choose to say this is number one, this is number two, number three.  You use roman numerals or numbers.  But I guess my career wants to have albums and name something and my second album will be named Dressed In Black.  And that line is kind of all over the album in different songs and it’s like it named itself.  “Dressed In Black” the song is just about life, there’s so many things that you’re dressed in black for – good things, bad things that make life beautiful from weddings to funerals.  And I’m grateful that we’re getting to celebrate some life in another album and saying goodbye to the first album for now but giving life to this second album.”
