Zac Brown Band is a country group that plays care free, fun loving music. Most of their songs have catchy lyrics and create a feel good attitude. Whenever I listen to them, my mood changes to more relaxed and laid back. Some of their songs are upbeat and fun, while others are more calm and breezy, but they all have a pleasing, light feeling to them. Some might compare them to other country groups such as Rascal Flatts, but they have more enthusiastic, pop songs. Although they are both great country bands, Zac Brown Band is more soft and relaxing. Elien Becque wrote an article about the Zac Brown Band saying, “The country sextet Zac Brown Band – 2010 Best New Artist Grammy winners – performed last night on Jimmy Kimmel's concert series, playing "Knee Deep" for a crowd of happy, hand-waving fans.” I agree with this statement because I feel that country crowds love the Zac Brown band and are never disappointed. They can throw away their worries for a moment and just sit back and listen to the pleasant, light hearted music. Another critic, Deborah Evans Price, states “The song is a light, breezy ballad awash in gentle guitar and a warm, understated vocal performance from the Georgia band's talented front man. The lyric taps into a universal desire to enjoy life and love unencumbered by convention” I feel that this is true, and most country fans would agree with me. One song in particular that I really like is called “Knee Deep “and has light, enjoyable lyrics, “Gonna put the the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
I like this song a lot because it just lets you throw your cares away, lay back and enjoy the music. A lot of Zac Brown Band’s songs are like this, and have lyrics that make you feel comfortable and happy. Overall, I really like the Zac Brown band and think they have easy, laid back music, and I love listening to their songs.
