On December 15th, Warner Bros. Records will release Sounds Like This Live 2, an EP featuring stripped-down versions of five songs from Eric Hutchinson’s full-length debut, Sounds Like This, which entered Billboard’s Heatseekers chart at No. 1 in September of 2007. More than two years later, Sounds Like This is the second best-selling album on the Heatseekers chart. Sounds Like This Live 2 follows Hutchinson’s Sounds Like This Live EP, which features live versions of five different songs and was released in April of 2009.
“I wanted to continue the approach I had on the first EP, getting the songs back to their purest form — the way they were when I wrote them,” he explains. “We had a day off in Minneapolis so I went into a studio and played through the songs in one take.”
“OK, It’s Alright With Me,” a Top 5 hit at Triple A radio earlier this year, is now climbing the charts at the Hot AC format, where it’s already #31* after only a month. Hutchinson joins Gavin Rossdale, David Cook and Lady GaGa in the short list of new artists to have a second single chart at Hot AC in 2009.
