The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year co-wrote “Doing Life With Me,” with Jeffrey Steele and Casey Beathard, and it combined a few different elements that fused together effortlessly. “We had a little writer’s cabin that I would go to – that’s where the writers stayed and I would pop in and out because I couldn’t stand to be with them all the time because I would lose my mind – but I would pop in and out,” says Eric. “And one day (Jeffrey) had this little – that little riff on ‘Life With Me,’ just up and down my neck. And he goes ‘I don’t know what this is.’ And then Casey Beathard walks in and he goes ‘Man, I had this lady I was just talking to and talking about her husband and she goes I guess that’s what he gets for doing life with me.’ And I thought that’s interesting. And all the sudden (sings) it just turned into a thing, but it was over Jeffrey’s thing. So, that night in the studio as opposed to having a session guy, Jeffrey Steele played that part and Jeffrey Steele sang harmony on that part and so did Casey.”
The third and final installment of Heart & Soul will be available this Friday (April 23rd). Eric’s current single, “Hell Of A View,” is making its way up the country charts.
