My New Favorite Band

I'm in love with Zac Brown Band.

I first heard them on the Country Music Awards last year. They played As She's Walking Away, which they did with Alan Jackson.

Now I'm not a huge country music fan, but I like more of what's been out there lately, like Lady Antebellum and The Band Perry.

But Zac Brown! Oh these guys are on a whole other level. They are country, they are folk, they are wonderful.

At times they have the fun, happy go lucky sound of Jimmy Buffett (He appears on their latest album) and at other times they are more mellow like James Taylor. In fact, he performed with them in Vegas for the ACM's. Watch the performance here.

Its stuff like this that gives me faith in the music industry.

Country Lyrics

I'm beginning to believe that some of the best lyrics in the world or perhaps the most profound can be found in country songs.

I've only recently come to listen to more of this genre, and though it isn't my favorite, I find myself thinking more and being moved by some of the songs. Sure country songs can be depressing but they can make you laugh too...and in the case of a recent Billy Currington song, they can make me go, "Damn, that's dead on."

The song is called "People Are Crazy"

The lyrics: "God is great. Beer is Good. People are crazy."

I don't think I've heard anything more spot on than that in a long time.

Have a listen..if you can get past the stupid commercial before it
