Eric Church's marathon recording session in early 2020 yielded not one, but three albums. The 2020 CMA Entertainer of the Year will release the trilogy on three separate days in April, one disc at a time.

News of Heart & Soul began to leak out online on Thursday (Jan. 21), after fans unearthed the details via a webpage that was quickly taken down. Church's team confirmed the news via a press release on Thursday afternoon.

Church's first of the three albums, the nine-song Heart, is due out on April 16. The already-released single "Stick That in Your Country Song," "Never Break Heart" and "Crazyland" are on that disc, along with the to-be-released songs "Heart on Fire," "People Break," and "Bunch of Nothing," among others.

Next, on April 20, will come &. The previously released songs "Through My Ray-Bans" and "Doin' Life With Me" are two of the six songs that will appear on this disc, which will be available exclusively to Church Choir members. In a video message, Church notes that this part of the trilogy was designed specifically with his most dedicated fans in mind.

Church's final trilogy release, Soul, is set for release on April 23. It includes Church's current single, "Hell of a View," "Jenny" and "Bad Mother Trucker," as well as to-be-released tracks including "Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones," "Bright Side Girl" and "Where I Wanna Be." This disc also contains nine songs in total.

All together, there are 24 songs on Heart & Soul. Previously, Church shared that his 28-day recording session, in an old restaurant-turned-studio in the mountains of North Carolina, yielded 28 songs. The process kept the singer and his crew up late; in fact, Church admits, they had to take a couple days off at one point because he'd stayed up for four straight days, unable to unwind and sleep.

"If you listen to the songs and you hear what the songs are, you very easily go, 'This sounds like they were in the middle of quarantine.' But we weren't. I was not," Church shared backstage at the 2020 CMA Awards. "For me, it just kinda happened the way it was supposed to happen."

Heart & Soul was produced by Jay Joyce. Church's go-to backup vocalist Joanna Cotten as well as Church's touring band helped make the album, along with some ace session players.

Church Choir pre-orders for Heart & Soul will begin on Jan. 28, with white vinyl versions of all three albums available exclusively to fan club members; pre-orders for the general public will begin on Jan. 29. The albums, the full details of which are below, will be Church's first new albums since 2018's Desperate Man.
