Have you heard the ZBB?

Have you heard The Zac Brown Band? They are my new favorite thing. Chicken Fried has gotten a lot of airplay and their new single "Whatever It Is" is quickly becoming popular. I just bought the CD The Foundation yesterday at Wallyworld. It was only $11.88 and there isn't one song on it that I don't like. And, its in on eof those environmental friendly CD packages made of recycled cardboard instead of plastic.
The band's sound reminds me of James Taylor mixed with Jimmy Buffet on Bluegrass and a little Marty Robbins thrown in for good measure. It's fun, easy to listen to and just sounds good. I dare you to listen to "Where the Boat Leaves From" and not imagine having a fruity rum drink with a little umbrella in your hand, or to listen to "Sic Em on a Chicken" and not crack a smile. They do a great version of Jolene which is a Ray Lamontagne song.

If you've got $12 bucks in your pocket and you need a little smile on your face, I highly recommend buying this CD. At least download a couple from iTunes or Amazon.com

There's a place, where the boat leavesFrom

It takes away all your big problems

You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean

But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Take one part sand, and one part sea, one part shade of aBig palm tree

The drinks they're cold and the ladies are hot

And I know this is the place for me

So get away to where the boat leaves from

It takes away all of your big problems

You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean

But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

See the problem is that you're down there

And there's a perfectly good island somewhere

Where a ride that floats and don't grab your coats

You won't need them where we are going

So get away to where the boat leaves fromI

t takes away all of your big problemsY

ou got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean

But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Pick me upOut on a boat that is huge

Pick me upI don't know how to do

Pick me upPut me downDown on the sand where it's cool

Put me downWhen I fall off my stoolPut me down

I'll just sleep there til morning comes around

With sunshine and ladies and pina colodas

And Bob Marley songs that are playing

There's a sound in my ear that I want you to hear

Soft tropical lips that are saying

Get away to where the boat leaves from

It takes away all of your big problems

You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean

But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from
