Did you know one of country music’s biggest stars, Morgan Wallen, never even listened to the genre until he found Eric Church? Wallen grew up in a rural church in East Tennessee, singing only gospel and bluegrass. When he finally got to listen to other music, he liked rap and rock. He says he started playing music because of the Church. Wallen knew every song on Eric Church’s first three albums, like Sinners Like Me.
Wallen said Church’s songs felt like pictures he could see in his head. That connection with the words made him fall in love with country music. It is funny because today, Wallen is a massive star himself, but Church was the one who opened the door for him. He moved from being a fan who memorized all the songs to a close friend.

Church and Wallen now sometimes sing together. The church has songs featuring Wallen, like “Man Made a Bar” and “Number 3 and Number 7.” Church also wrote the song “Quittin’ Time” for Wallen. This shows how Church passed down his style of telling stories in music to the new singer.
Their story did not stop with music. It moved from the stage to the business world. This friendship became something bigger. Now, the two singers are partners in a business venture, which is a new chapter for them.
