"Cuts like the opening track, 'Beautiful Drug', sound more like an Avicii banger"

More Zac Brown Band More Zac Brown Band

One of the biggest names in country music, Zac Brown and his band deserve credit for taking a punt on Jekyll + Hyde, where cuts like the opening track, Beautiful Drug, sound more like an Avicii banger than anything they’ve done before.

The stadium rock sound is revisited at various times (including lead single, Heavy Is The Head, featuring Chris Cornell), but Brown is at his best when he returns to his country roots. From up-tempo (Remedy) to reflective and romantic (Bittersweet), Jekyll + Hyde showcases Brown’s range as a performer.
