Zac Brown Band are here with a new album titled “The Owl.” The album reveals a different side of the band, and draws on many of their recent life experiences, including Brown’s 2018 divorce. “There’s some really personal songs on the record and some other ones that are pretty heavy,” Brown said. “Then there’s some other ones that aren’t.
There’s some songs that are so personal and so real that some of them I couldn’t even imagine having to play six months ago when we were writing them. There’s some songs that we wrote and perform that still just tear me up.”
We’ve been working tirelessly on this album over the past couple years, ensuring every detail is perfect,” said Brown in a statement. “We are always pushing ourselves as musicians by blurring genre boundaries and incorporating all kinds of music we are personally inspired by, elevating what we are capable as a group. This album will have something for everyone.”
“Owls are one of the mythical kind of creatures — we even had one at a photo shoot, and just being next to one and seeing one, they just seem otherworldly to me,” Brown told Billboard earlier this year. “They’re just like a magical thing, symbolizing wisdom and foreshadowing. But I have kind of a kinship to them. I don’t know what it is, I’m just really drawn to them. I’ve got three owls tattooed on me, actually.”
The band (Brown, Jimmy De Martini, John Driskell Hopkins, Coy Bowles, Clay Cook, Chris Fryar, Daniel De Los Reyes and Matt Mangano) is out this summer on The Owltour.
