On September 21, 2010, the Zac Brown Band released their new studio album, You Get What You Give. The Zac Brown Band is an American country music band based out of Atlanta, GA. First formed in 2000, the group recently experienced a surge of popularity in the country music world. The lineup consists of Zac Brown (lead vocals, guitar), Jimmy De Martini (fiddle, vocals), John Driskell Hopkins (bass guitar, vocals), Coy Bowles (guitar, keyboards), Chris Fryar (drums) and Clay Cook (guitar, keyboards, mandolin, steel guitar, vocals).
They have also recorded four studio albums, and charted four number one singles on the Billboard country charts: "Chicken Fried," "Toes," "Highway 20 Ride," and "Free" in addition to the single "Whatever It Is," which peaked at number two on the same chart.
Their popularity arises from their mellow and easy-going country music, which has its own unique sound that sets them apart from other artists. The band has also won three awards in the last two years: the Academy of Country Music award for Top New Vocal Duo or Group, the CMT Music award for Breakthrough Video of the Year for "Chicken Fried," and most recently, the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
The album kicks off with "As She's Walking Away," a song which has made it to the #12 spot on the U.S. country charts. The track also features guitarist and country legend Alan Jackson, who is joined on the album by other guest artists such as Tony Rice, Aaron Carman, and Jimmy Buffett. The song is an excellent reflection of the band's style of country, blending easy-listening acoustic instruments to create a beautiful, heart-felt sound. Other notable tracks on the album include "Knee Deep (featuring Jimmy Buffett)," "Whiskey's Gone," "Colder Weather," and "Make This Day." One song in particular could possibly become the next hit single, "Quiet Your Mind," which is a very inspiring track for avid Zac Brown Band fans.
Overall, the Zac Brown Band has met the expectations of their fans and enthusiasts with an excellent album. The band is definitely making a name for themselves in the country music world, and has the potential to become one of the greatest. At the past Academy for Country Music Awards, the band was nominated for the highest honor, Entertainer of the Year. If the band continues with their amazing success, they may possibly take home the "gold" at the next awards show.
