It has been a steady climb for the Zac Brown Band and their single “Country Fried”, but they have made it to the the No. 1 position on the Country Singles Chart.

‘Country Fried’ is a song with classic Country roots and also has a touch of Reggae, Bluegrass, and basic Vocal harmonies. Zac Brown has captured a grass roots type of Pop Music that is his own, but seems to remind you of other jam type bands like Dave Matthews.

‘The Foundation’ Album and the Chicken Fried song has taken it’s time climbing the Top 40 Country Songs Chart and seems to have a mass appeal to Country Music fans who don’t always want the polished and perfected studio album that seems to be the norm today, but instead want more of the classic good time and solid instrumental dance + sing alongs.

Here Is a Live Performance of “Country Fried” from the Zac Brown Band from the House of Blues in New Orleans, take notice of the Bluegrass style Instrumental jam towards the End.
