Looking for the songs of the summer? Zach Bryan is the way to go with his new album, The Great American Bar Scene, which includes 19 tracks and different kinds of songs that touch on various emotions.

Zach Bryan is a country singer who has been quickly rising to fame for his authentic songs and lyrics. I am a big fan of Zach Bryan and his music. I have been to several concerts and have followed him for many years, listening to almost all his songs when they come out. Hearing that one of your favorite artists is releasing a new album is always thrilling in many ways. You get a whole new insight into their life and new songs to listen to. 

Focusing on this aAlbum in particular, Bryan released two songs prior to releasing the main Album, The Great American Bar Scene. On May 24th, 2024, he released a song called Pink Skies, which touched the hearts of many by reflecting on grief and the loss of a loved one. This song definitely was a hit and was followed by Purple Gas on June 7th, 2024, featuring Noeline Hofmann—another great song.

Moving on to the main album, which features both of these previous releases, on July 4th, 2024, Bryan released The Great American Bar Scene with 18 full songs and one of his signature poems, totaling 19 tracks. This album has no skips. I can hit shuffle and enjoy every single song. My top three in no order have to be 28, Boons, and Oak Island. But truly, this album is one of a kind, and I can not recommend it more to anyone willing to try something new.
