Zach Bryan’s ‘The Great American Bar Scene’ Tops iTunes All-Genre Albums Chart

Taking the top spot. Yesterday on the Fourth of July, Zach Bryan released a new album called the The Great American Bar Scene , which features 19 songs and extremely talented artists like John Mayer on "Better Days" and even Bruce Springsteen on "Sandpaper." Of course, we knew it would be a huge hit because of the sheer fact that Zach has a huge, very dedicated and supportive fan base, and obviously he's one of the biggest acts in the genre... so yeah, there was really no way it was going to any sort of small release. And today, the album is currently sitting at #1 on the iTunes all-genre albums chart, and I'm sure will remain there through the weekend or even beyond. It's also projected to debut in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, though we won't have those numbers until the end of next week at the earliest, so stay tuned because there's a lot more to sift through as fans have a chance to really digest the record: For me, the John Mayer collab is an easy standout if you're looking for a good place to start: "Better Days (feat. John Mayer)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLMns1UUoCw&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title

John Mayer Praises Zach Bryan

Mayer recently joined Zach during a stop on his Quittin' Time tour in Los Angeles, where the two performed an unreleased song together and stuck around for an epic performance of "Revival." And after the show, Mayer spoke on his Sirius XM radio show, Life With John Mayer, about the incredible experience that is a Zach Bryan live show: "It was one of the most incredible things I've seen in years. This guy and his band have the greatest camaraderie offstage, and therefore on stage. The crowd goes nuts. I've never seen a band change the space around them in an arena. An arena is sorta like, 'Here, you're using our room, do your thing in our room.' Zach Bryan and his band are like, 'We're gonna take your room and we're gonna have a hoedown in it, thank you very much.'" Mayer also pointed out that Zach has been able to connect with fans in a way that few artists do: "He's cracked some code that I have been waiting for someone to crack. He's tapped into a thing with people that should give everyone hope. Cause sometimes you start feeling like, 'Oh, it's gonna be a long time before a lot of people like one thing again.' And a LOT of people like Zach Bryan shows, myself included, because it was unbelievable." Not bad coming from a music legend like John Mayer. https://www.instagram.com/p/C79RrrTI65R/
