Eric Church Fires One Up in "Smoke a Little Smoke"
Eric Church knows there's more than one way to handle any situation, and in "Smoke a Little Smoke" you can guess his preferred remedy. With lyrics touching on a breakup, we get the idea that Church is ready to let this one go -- and sit back and fire one up. Now, we all know smoking ain't cool, but obviously the image here is that Church is a badass who will smoke if he feels like it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a "spark 'em if ya got 'em" kind of guy, but in this case it might be nice to know a little more of the back story. Just a few lines about what it was like before she left could transform "Smoke" into an upbeat song with some real heft. How long did he have to hide that stash? How many Friday nights did he spend watching I Love Lucy? But second-guessing aside, one of the arrangement's most interesting features is its building-block approach -- it starts off with one guitar riff and builds up piece by piece. See if you can find similar elements in Church's newest video.

What Now says:
badass arguements aside, this song has an amazing groove and the way the guitar riffs go from sparse to full out shotgun blast of noise just blows me away - in a very good way.
Caroline says:
Really like this song and the video is reflective of the fun of an Eric Church show. Good times!
gemstone says:
i think this video is awesome! way to go eric, and umm he isn’t smoking pot..looks to me like a cigar!!
Church fan says:
I am with Caroline on it being reflective of how fun and full of energy an Eric Church show is. Love the song, love the video, love Eric.
SBlades says:
This video ROCKS! Truly a reflection of what an ECB show looks like…Love it!!!
hotelmotel says:
Well a CMT video isn’t gonna show church with any pot but I’d say the song is about smoking pot every bit as much as Zac Brown Band’s “Toes” — sure, there was some censorship going on in both cases but its not hard to figure out the pot references in both songs.
cameron says:
hell ya love this video. Kasey Kahne is in it
Billy says:
This dude sucks
dingymom says:
Billy - you obviously have never been to a Eric Church show nor met him. His shows are full of energy and entertainment. He and his band are truly a great bunch of guys and respect their fans. You need to see a show before you make anymore comments about Eric Church!
hotelmotel says:
Dingymom - I have never been to an Eric Church show, but I find the music he releases on the radio to be so boring that I would not be interested in attending one of his concerts. I’m sure he is a nice guy and respects his fans and I’m sure his fans enjoy his shows. But I don’t like his music.
ghanaslennon says:
I have seen Eric in concert before, he put on the worst ever country concert and an even worse rock concert….how’s that make him the best and an amazing performer?? I have never seen anything worse than him.
Coolbreeze says:
I plan to buy the cd based on this song. The video & song both rock!
adam says:
Eric church is by far one of the greatest country singers every and both of his cd’s are amazing cant wait to see him in concert, and every time i hear this song i want to drink a little drink and smoke a little smoke GO ERIC CHURCH
Denise says:
This is currently MY FAVORITE SONG!!!
Ally says:
I love this song! The music, the words, all of it! I bought the cd for this song! I hope it goes #1.
Becki says:
I have to disagree about his performance, he recently opened for Miranda Lambert in Bangor, ME and he played way more songs than her and had the crowd rockin. She was a let down compared to him.
carolyn mcclung says:
I love this song, and he can sing it so good!!
Matt says:
I agree with Becki. I was at the concert in Maine, and he outperformed Miranda Lambert by a whole lot. He was the most exciting part of the concert, and I actually left about half way through her segment because of it.
Teena Marie says:
This is great=)
Jacob Brown says:
Yea he smokes weed
Alan Hollar says:
He’s from my hometown! Hell yes we love our smoke! Keep up the great work Eric. Representing Caldwell County North Carolina.
Jennifer says:
