    "Hell of a View" is a song by American country artist Eric Church. He co-wrote the track with Casey Beathard and Monty Criswell.[1] It is the lead single from Church's album Soul, part of a triple album set.[2] The track features backing vocals from Church's longtime collaborator Joanna Cotten.[3]

    Background[edit]

    Church was in the mountains of North Carolina when he returned from a jog to hear co-writer Casey Beathard play the song which he had been working on with Monty Criswell. Church said it felt like a "big hit but at the same time it has that timeless quality to it". The men finished writing the song and recorded it that same night.[4]

    Critical reception[edit]

    "Hell of a View" received generally positive reviews, with many positively noting the presence of Joanna Cotten's vocals. Craig Shelburne of CMT called the song a "romantic new single", noting Cotten's "powerful harmony" as a backing vocalist.[4] Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone referred to the track as a "tender mid-tempo ballad", saying it "depicts the thrill of a life on the move with the one you love". Freeman also noted Cotten's "soulful voice" as a "big presence".[5] Angela Stefano of Taste of Country called the song a "a love song for rebels".[6]

    Commercial performance[edit]

    "Hell of a View" is Church's highest charting single since 2012's "Springsteen", as well as the second highest of his career, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    Live performance[edit]

    Church performed "Hell of a View" at the 54th Annual Country Music Association Awards in November 2020.[7]
