One of the biggest surprises at the Grammys in 2010 was the election of the "Best Newcomer". There was just one-country band the-nose in front: the Zac Brown Band .
So you have to, we speak about this from Atlanta, Georgia, native formation differ in "before" and "After 31 January 2010." Ever since winning the Grammys has pretty muc
h everything for this young band changed.


But even before the Grammys, the band stood at the bearded, bierbauchigen, wool cap bearing singer, guitarist and namesake to some people extremely highly. Ardent admirer of the quintet is probably Kid Rock. On his last tour, the Rock-bully, it is said, the new Zac Brown Band album "The Foundation" is in the non-stop tour bus.

One can not blame him. Because the mix of rock, bluegrass, folk and country creates a very special note. No question, Zac & Co. have created with their fourth album later than their very own sound very compressed, in her biggest hit "Chicken Fried". Who takes the title on Youtube times rummages in a live version - over 650,000 have this casual, humorous version here already viewed. And evaluated with the maximum score. Quite right. For the title granted to the listener for a few minutes to forget all the problems: Take it easy, a beer Friday night, a little cuddling, with the friends in the pub and so on and so forth. The small pleasures of life halt, set to music with acoustic guitar, fiddles, drums and electric guitar. Very understandable that Kid Rock feels good hands here.

Guaranteed even for "Toes", the opener of the new song-dozen of the new country of hope. Here, too, proves songwriter Zac Brown not only a knack for sunny harmonies - he succeeds again with this track, to tell a perfectly credible and comprehensible story. The Story of an extremely relaxing day on which one is little more than the toes to keep them in a pleasant babbling brook and from time to time to open a can of beer. Who wants to attune themselves to the slow summer, with this song gets a perfect through ball.

But the band can also be really serious. For example, in the beautiful bluegrass song "Mary". Here to show the musicians what they have everything on their instruments it, and that they have internalized the sound of the Smokey Mountains absolute. This applies also for the wonderful "Jolene," not to be confused - with the Dolly Parton- classic - and the other song homegrown players. It is clear: the Grammy goes fully in order. And Kid Rock has a better taste than one would have expected.

Conclusion: With a Grammy in the bag is a quick tip from the flyer. Rightly so, the fourth album by the quintet from Atlanta, Georgia shows.
