Love this kid, his voice gives me Tyler Childers vibes. The cover is great, and if you haven’t heard any of his original stuff, you should. He’s a pretty good songwriter himself.

This kid is the real deal. Discovered him a few weeks ago, fantastic songwriter, named JI as one of his biggest influences in his interview with Grady Smith.

While I typically have a hard time listening to people cover Isbell because of his personal connections to his songs, this is understandable. Zach is active duty military and can associate to this song more than artists who cover his songs for quick cash grabs.

I also love Zach Bryan's music, especially after I got over the fact that he looks exactly like Zachary Ty Bryan from Home Improvement.

I like his voice but I just have trouble listening to people cover Isbell. Guy is obviously talented though.
