On Friday, the Zac Brown Band (ZBB) performed and it reaffirmed that they're one of my favorite country bands. In fact, they're only second to Miranda Lambert / Pistol Annies.
I only got into country music in college - senior year of college to be exact. Which is crazy because I lived in Tennessee for 3 years (8th-10th grade) and literally never listened to it.
The reason I started listening would make Taylor Swift cry tears of joy. After a bad breakup, I couldn't help myself. I mean come on, that's what country music is about! So, country stations kept creeping into my pandora stations, and then into my iTunes. And during this time I heard the girl-power, sassy, fierce, screw men - or kill them ;) - lyrics of the one and only Miranda Lambert. I heard the lyrics below while writing a paper in the library, and immediately bought her album... not to mention her third album which is called Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. hehe
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don’t know what I did next all I know, I couldn’t stop
Leave it to me to be holdin’ the matches
When the fire trucks show up and there’s nobody else to blame
Can’t get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
I think one of the reasons I love country music is because I enjoy ballads. I actually love all music that tells a story in the course of the song, but country just happens to do that more than any others.
And talking about ballads, Zac Brown Band essentially tells a story in every single song - that's why it's so fun to listen to! And I love Zac's voice. love love love LOVE.
They were SUCH great live performers - he is a natural performer / actually has an amazing voice without the help of autotune or whatever they miraculously do in the studies (ahem Demi Lovato)
This is one of my personal favs: Cold Hearted
