I agree the song “Chicken Fried” is awful. Its completely cliched and the singer has a pretty mediocre voice. Overall I also think Zac Brown band is pretty overrated.

Good Lord, this song stinks to high heaven. I consider Zac Brown and company to be one of most overrated country acts. But among all of country’s top vocal groups (the Flatts, Lady A, etc.), I can’t think of very many that are not overrated.

You are entitled to your opinion like everyone else…its just your opinion is wrong..we all have our downfalls and this is yours.

Hey, Merry Christmas to you, too, pal.

And by the way, it’s a bit unusual for a song to still be “steadily climbing the charts” when it has spent the last two weeks in the #1 spot. Kind of hard to go up from there.

But in the spirit of the season, would it help everyone if I said I’m sorry I phrased the review in such a snobbish manner? Don’t get me wrong; I still think it’s a ‘D’, but I do think I could have been more respectful myself, and I apologize for not doing so. I would point out that this was my very first review for this site, and I didn’t necessarily have the same judgment then that I do now.

Terrible review, this is a catchy lil country throwback song that is steadily climbing the charts…maybe you’ve never sat on your back porch drinking a beer on a Friday night waitin on the fried chicken to finish cookin’….apparently not, so you’d have no idea whats trying to be conveyed here..just enjoying the simple things in life. You are entitled to your opinion like everyone else…its just your opinion is wrong..we all have our downfalls and this is yours.

I agree with almost everything you say about it being full of cliches, I like the tempo changes, i like the cliches, and at the risk of sounding like overly sensitive “cry into my pillow every night” guy I like they way it makes me feel. Which is happy.

So guilty pleasure? Maybe

Shameless pandering? I don’t think so

But that’s my opinion, and everyone else can feel free to keep there’s to themselves:)

This is why I don’t like country universe. Chicken Fried is one of the best songs that has came out in country for awhile. This song shows you that county is still alive. This song represents what country is all about. The music develops a happy emotion and the cleaverness of the lyrics bring a smile to anyones face. God I really hate country universe, why do I continue to read what you idiot writers have to say about these songs!

The Lantern Pub in my hometown, Ashley, IL, serves an all-you-can-eat fried chicken dinner on Sundays.

In addition to the fried chicken, your meal arrives with choice of potato (I recommend the mashed w/ brown gravy), vegetable, side salad and a basket of dinner rolls. $6.95/per person, and white meat only is $1 extra.
