Last month, we told you about the Zac Brown Band, so hopefully by now you've checked them out! If not, you HAVE TO...have to have to have to have to have to!! We LOVE them! If you had asked us 3 months ago what the heck ZBB stood for, we'd have been clueless...ask us now and we'll tell you that it stands for the freakin' awesome ZAC BROWN BAND!Last week, I (Erin) headed down to Boston with a friend to check out a ZBB show at a local bar...Boston, a bar, good music...it really doesn't get much better than that people! The show was awesome...the guys put on a great live spread, just like I figured they would. Their music isn't 100% country...like the guys themselves, the music can't really be classified as 100% anything. It's a little bit country, a little bit Southern rock, a little bluegrass...a little of this, a little of that, 100% GOOD MUSIC! We're both big believers that if the music is good and it moves you, well then the genre doesn't really matter. Zac is the lead singer and of course, he's great...but the band, let me just tell you, he has one ROCKIN' band! (Oh, and one of the songwriter's that he brought on stage to sing with him - HOT!) While you're on their website checking out the music, see if they'll be coming to a city near you to perform soon...and GO! They even have shows opening for Sugarland and Alan Jackson scheduled!
The guys are just as genuine and nice as their songs are great. I got to speak with them both before and after the show and I was excited to learn just how passionate they are about the music. They're just great down to earth people...and Zac even has ambitions of putting out a comedy CD as well as a cookbook!
They are currently in the process of releasing their CD "The Foundation"...it was due out this week, but it had to be pushed back and they don't have a definite date yet, but it will be SOON. If you head on over to their website, you can pre-order the CD and you'll receive an immediate download of the CD as well as the hard copy of the CD in the mail as soon as it's available. You will NOT be disappointed! Some of our favorite songs...
- Chicken Fried ~ this song is currently sitting at No. 27 (!!!) on the Billboard charts and you're probably hearing it on your local stations. This song throws the simple things in life that we love all together in a fun way...and on a serious note, it kind of makes you take stock and realize how important those little things really are.
- Toes ~ Big shout out to Shelby on this one! Shelby was raving about ZBB and about this song "Toes"...so I went to MySpace and checked it out...one play was all it took to get me hooked on this song and these guys. This song is such a fun, tropical song...a 4 minute trip to paradise!
- Whatever It Is ~ like all of their music, this song just makes you feel good...makes you dance, sing loud, and smile!
- Highway 20 Ride ~ This song is one that will pull at your heart strings...at least, it did mine. A great song from a Dad's perspective to his young son who may not fully understand all of the Dad's decisions in life, yet the Dad yearns for the son to know how much he loves him. This is one of those "OMG, I have a knot in my stomach" powerful songs ~ in a good way!
