Zac Brown Band gets hot with "Colder Weather"

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 – Zac Brown Band will earn their seventh consecutive number one with their latest hit, Colder Weather, on Mediabase and Billboard this week. ZBB assumes the top spot from Thompson Square's Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not.

The news about the second single from "You Get What You Give" (Atlantic/Southern Ground) comes a few days after their performance at the Academy of Country Music Awards with James Taylor. Brown called the event the "best musical moment of my whole career."

The song was co-written by Brown, longtime collaborator Wyatt Durrette, band member Coy Bowles and Levi Lowrey of Brown's label Southern Ground Artists. The song holds particular meaning for Bowles, marking his first number one as a songwriter. "It's a very personal song for all of us," Bowles said. "It's something that really resonates because of where it came from. I think it's some of the best music we have ever made."

Colder Weather follows Zac Brown Band's number one song As She Walking Away featuring Alan Jackson, which was awarded Vocal Collaboration of the Year at Sunday's ACM Awards.

CD review - Welcome Home With "Welcome Home," the Zac Brown Band continues to do what it does best, which is making quality roots music. In fact, one of the album's songs is even titled "Roots." Brown may not be the most religious guy, but his latest songs focus on many truly spiritual cornerstones of life: family and friends. Both "Family Table" and "My Old Man" find Brown reflecting on his family life, with the latter also looking at 'the here and now' of being a father himself. ...
CD review - Jekyll + Hyde Fans looking for the Zac Brown Band of 2005 won't find it in "Jekyll + Hyde" - there's nothing but an aftertaste of the Georgia group's chicken-fried origins. That might be why the album's name is so appropriate. Fans have gotten to know the country-folk band, but a deviant creeps in on all 16 tracks of its fourth album. And, like the classic story, Hyde stands out as more interesting. It hits hard, too. The opener, "Beautiful Drug," has an electric-pop ...
