Zac Brown just played Dress Blues on ESPN. Maybe some of you enjoyed it, but I for one did not.

Rough quality but first one I could find. I just cringe at the thought of everyone giving Zac Brown full credit for this song.

I'm just curious, what is the etiquette in a situation like this? Does Zac need Isbell's permission to do this or is it frowned upon to do so without his blessing? seems like an odd cover for such a big audience

I don't think Zac Brown is on the same level as Isbell, but he and his band do get a lot of hate they shouldn't. Plenty of talent in there. They've made some shitty songs, but also have some pretty good ones and do solid covers.

Yea I have to agree with you. Zac Brown has been one of my favorite mainstream country artists for a while.

I think I was just initially shocked and concerned that the song would be ruined. It definitely could've fallen in worse hands though.

Haven't heard the performance yet. I saw ZBB on TV but the sound was off while cooking. After I left my house my brother texted me and told me about it.

I think ZBB nailed it. good for isbell having his songs exposed to more people.

now if only it really was a "hit song" like ESPN claimed...

Yeah, I hate most all of the new country but love the heck out of most of Zach Brown's stuff. Can't wait to track down a more quality link of this.

ZBB did that really well. Just wish ESPN didn't credit the song to them...

ZBB said off their "upcoming album." I can see them taking this song to #1.

My bro is a marine. I couldn't listen to this song while he was on deployment. Especially not this video

I don't really like ZBB, but they're not pop country in the normal sense. They paid their dues coming up so I respect that.

Then Isbell definitely won't mind... $$$

Edit: it's a pretty decent cover of it...

Not sure. They said off their upcoming album. Not sure if they'll make it a single or not.

Hope they make it a single. I liked their version. What other mainstream artis would you want to cover one of your songs? ZBB is pretty legit. They could do well with it.
