Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info |
|
| On 2008's THE FOUNDATION, singer/guitarist Zac Brown leads his ensemble on a vibrant set of country-rock. While the Georgia-based performer is clearly comfortable with ballads (see his emotive cover of Ray LaMontagne's "Jolene"), he seems most at home on twangy, carefree tracks such as "Toes," "Chicken Fried," and "Sic `Em on a Chicken." | |
Artist Overview
The Atlanta, GA-based Zac Brown Band debuted in 2004 with FAR FROM EINSTYNE. Their mix of good-time country and Jimmy Buffett-via-Jack Johnson beach-bum pop earned them a sizable grass-roots following, and a spot in the 2006 Bonnaroo festival. The band broke through to the mainstream in '08 with the single "Chicken Fried," from their third studio album, THE FOUNDATION, with both the album and the single hitting the pop and country charts.

Professional Reviews
Billboard (p.77)
- "Traditional country toe-tapper 'Mary' highlights the group's tight harmonies, and the touching 'Highway 20 Ride,' about shared custody of a child, is a stone-country smash."
