Zac Brown Band - The Wind (single review)
The ".99 Review" format is a bit restrictive, especially for songs I actually enjoy, so I'm going to drop in some short single reviews from time to time now. I'll still do the .99 Reviews sometimes too, but I've gotten to the point that I'm unwilling to spend even ninety-nine cents (or 1.29) on a song I don't like.
Zac Brown Band - The Wind
(click to see an admittedly low-quality live recording or hear a high quality version at The Boot)
I had lowered expectations for the first single for the forthcoming ZBB album, Uncaged, due to some weak single choices from the previous release and the news of the band's expansion. Happily, "The Wind" is homerun of a first single.
It's an organic-sounding, lively, mostly-acoustic country jam that blows their last few charting songs out of the water. My worries about more band members causing an overly convoluted sound were unfounded. Somehow, all 42 members of the ZBB are perfectly integrated into the number with nary a shade of overkill. In fact, it's a surprisingly simple tune about a man whose love follows the object of his affections wherever she may travel.
"The Wind" is catchy, warm and charming. Perhaps the influx of new players has had an enlivening effect on the band's creativity and spark. Let's hope this winning single is a harbinger of good things to come on Uncaged, which drops July 10.

Singin' Bout a Truck (Somethin' Bout a Truck Parody)
(Parody of Kip Moore's "Somethin' Bout a Truck")
Singin' bout a truck always seals the deal
Toss in a girl and a farmer's field
Nobody's gonna question if your motive's real
Singin' bout a truck, it don't take much skill
Tell 'em bout a beer, preferably light
No need to rock the boat, just keep your rhymes tight
Throw in a tailgate, set the scene just right
Singin' bout a beer, no need to think twice
Gotta have a girl ,if you want some success
Put her in cut-offs or a cute sundress
The teen demographic has to be impressed
So sing about a girl and get your wallet blessed
Now there's gotta be some making out for you to score
It should be her first time, she can't be a whore
No kinky stuff now, like handcuffs or back doors
Nothing's more wholesome than a country girl's drawers
Singin' bout a truck seals the deal
And a girl with big breasts in the video just makes sense
Cause CMT can't resist
Something about boots and jeans and familiar scenes
Oh Lord have mercy, I can hear that cha-ching
It's scientific not luck, singin' bout a truck
Somewhere bout the time the sky gets dim
After a few of those beers, country folks show some skin
Skinny dipping' ain't edgy but we can pretend
Somethin' bout a creek makes you more than friends
Singin' bout a truck is the Midas touch
And a girl with a cute butt in the video just makes sense
CMT'll give ya heavy spins
Just write some different words to the same old scenes
Oh Lord have mercy, I can hear that cha-ching
It's scientific not luck, singin' bout a truck
It don't matter if it sucks, singin' bout a truck
