The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1 | Zac Brown Band

On December 10, 2013, Zac Brown Band will released The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1 on Zac's own Southern Ground Artists label via iTunes.

The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1 features the first studio recording of "Day for the Dead" ­ the song which the band performed with Grohl on this year's CMAs and has since earned praise as a "knockout" (AJC), that "rocked" (Vulture) and that "showcases some instrumental adventurousness that flirts with the ominous" (OC Register). Other songs on the release include "The Muse," a song written by The Wood Brothers who are also signed to Southern Ground Artists, "All Alright" and "Let It Rain."

"Dave is a musical genius," said ZBB frontman Zac Brown. "It's been amazing to play with him on stage and get to spend time working with him in the studio. We are excited for fans to hear the music we've been able to create together."

The new release marks Zac Brown Band's first collection of songs recorded at the Southern Ground Studios in Nashville. In addition to the traditional Zac Brown Band lineup of Zac Brown, John Driskell Hopkins, Jimmy De Martini, Coy Bowles, Chris Fryar, Clay Cook and Daniel de los Reyes, the recordings also feature guest performances by Oteill Burbridge on bass and Grohl on drums.

[summercoleman]

This set a four songs did a fine job at making my life a lot happier. I remember packing up my house to move and listening to this mini album over and over and over again. My father at one point asked me "Don't you ever get tired of Zac Brown Band" to which I responded, "No!"

[metvelle]

[Hotmessfunmess]

I love u guys. No matter where I'm at or who ever is playing u on the radio I tell them turn it up., since my man is country he loves that craziness about me with my love towards u

[AirbrushingtipsNet]

This is going to be incredible!  And that studio... Man, what an awesome setting.  Can't wait!

[gweeds]

This will be awesome. Anything Dave Grohl touches is gold. That being said, he won't touch just anything. Its got to have the potential to become gold. And zac brown band, though I'm not a fan of country, are a bunch of talented as musicians. Definitely going to check this out when it comes.

[Sabiancym]

Yes!  I'm not a big fan of country, so Dave bringing the rock out of this band is perfect.  Every band needs to spend time with Dave to get as much rock back into music as possible.

[bobhosie]

These are one of the best bands of none!

[Lajnuss]

[dub]

I am going to buy this full album in its entirety and I have not bought a full album of any kind in years and years.  My favorite Country group records this with my favorite musician ever and I think I am rambling like a little But, man, this is awesome.  Thank you Zac and Dave for doing Finally some "NEW" music to be really excited about.

[stevenboero]

Oh. my goodness!!! my two favorite artists working

[amybrown]

The Grohl Sessions is some of the best sounding music I have heard in years...My husband used the Sound City facilities in the 70's. He still raves about the Neve and is thrilled, as many of us older folks are, that Dave has done what he has done to save this remarkable, REAL sound...I still love the live version from the CMA's of DFTD....fun as fuck to watch...    

[melwilcox]

grohl is on his way to becoming an iconic producer. He will be considered like a rick rubin one day. everyone will want to record at his studio

[Pound_Shift]

If your new to Zac Brown listen to, Who knows, The whiskey's gone, Jolene, Martin, That will get you started .

I've been a fan of ZBB since their release of 'The Foundation' and they continue to pump out fantastic music.  This new album is absolutely wonderful and I'm looking forward to the next volume!
