If you want to know what makes Eric Church tick, listen to his just-released album “Chief.” Church went to a secluded cabin in his home state of North Carolina to write most of the 11 songs that are on the album. They’re songs about family and loyalty — such as “Homeboy” — and, of course, all kinds of memories. For all the bad boy bravado Church shows on stage — and which he’ll certainly show at his local concert as part of Toby Keith’s “Locked & Loaded” tour — the truth is that he’s a truly gracious man who takes life’s knocks in stride and turns them into music.
