Free - Zac Brown Band

This is a great song, and these guys are so good. They remind me a lot of Alabama. The harmonies are great; the songs are great; the music is great; the lyrics are great. Plus, they sound really good live. I hate to hear a band's record and then hear them live and not be impressed. I understand that you just can't get the exact same sound live, but you can still sound good. 

The Zac Brown Band gets classified as country a lot, and I think that this is partly true. Their music is influenced a lot by country artists (but then so is the music of a lot of really heavy bands), but it's really Americana more than country. This song has that slow, easy, laid back groove I love and personally think should have its own genre. If you have any suggestions for stuff with similar sound, leave a comment. If you haven't listened to this group any, start here and keep going.
