Zac Brown Band changed things up musically on their latest album, Jekyll + Hyde. One such example is their current hit, “Loving You Easy,” on which Zac Brown tells The Dr. Don Show with Rachael and Grunwald the band threw a little Motown in the mix. “To me it’s just like a tip of the hat to old like Philly soul or old type of Motown music. To me it’s like a modern day oldie. It’s also just respect to our ladies just being in the house and in the home where they’re just natural, you know? It’s not about getting all fixed up and getting a dress on and makeup and everything. It’s just about the beauty of a woman like in her natural state. It’s a great, great feeling that a guy has when he sees his lady at home happy and content, and that’s really just trying to capture the spirit of what that is, and it’s short just like an old song, too, you know? A lot of The Beatles’ hits were like two minutes long.”
Zac Brown Band’s latest release Jekyll + Hyde is the top selling country album for the first quarter of the year, moving 415,000 records in three months. ZBB’s release is doing so well it’s moved more than twice the amount of albums as the number two record for the year, Sam Hunt’s Montevallo, which has sold 199,000 copies. Coming in at number three is Reba McEntire’s Love Somebody (150,000), followed by Darius Rucker’s Southern Style (134,000) and Little Big Town’s Pain Killer (112,000.)
