Review
Y'all, I'm fixin' to tell you about a new country album that's got folks abuzz. Zach Top's debut, "Cold Beer & Country Music", is a love letter to traditional country, and it's gettin' a lot of attention for all the right reasons. This album's got heart, and it's clear that Top's rural Washington upbringing had a big influence on the kind of music he makes.
The 12 tracks on this album were co-written with producer Carson Chamberlain, and they've got a way of makin' you feel all the feels. You'll hear echoes of country legends like Randy Travis and Keith Whitley in Top's vocals, and the production is all about that old-school country sound - fiddle, steel, and twangy guitars galore. You'll wanna spin tracks like "Sounds Like the Radio", "There's the Sun", and "Use Me" over and over again, 'cause they're just that good.
Fans and critics alike are ravin' about this album's authentic take on 90s country, and it's easy to see why. It's like a warm breeze on a summer day, or sippin' on a cold one on the porch - it just feels right. And don't be surprised if you find yourself hummin' along to the catchy hooks and melodies, 'cause they're gonna stick with you. With "Cold Beer & Country Music" peaking at number 49 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, it's clear that Zach Top's star is on the rise, and this album's a must-listen for anyone who loves traditional country. - Jackson
