Karl,
I’m planning a review of it as soon as possible. I’ll just say now, however, that I love, love it.

I’ve been listening to ‘Bruises’ as if on crack for the last couple of weeks. Hey CU, when is your ‘Like a Rose’ review coming out? :)

…guess, it was the “jump right in” that made me what quite literally jumping right into the song selection, leeann without paying too much attention to the finer details – or i’m just gettin’ old, blind and more silly these days.

I can’t help but chuckle about the Mario Party comparisons with “Jump Right In.” That was hilariously spot-on! Anyway, I think the single is the best summer tune that ZBB has released so far.

I agree with Tom. You should review “I Drive Your Truck”.

Tom,
This is a “band edition.”

…”american beautiful” is a really catchy radio-single and rather trendy with its biologically homegrown veggies reference. good to see that vegetarians are not excluded anymore from finding their spot in the hash, bacon and eggs world of country music. do you want turnips with that?

“jump right in” is a decent kick off to the summer song season, i guess.

“done” with mandolins and that sort of stuff? let’s see what the new album holds in store.

pity, you didn’t include “i drive your truck”, dan. so far one of the most country and gripping songs this year. lee brice could have a greatest hits album ready long before he’d have a real good “normal” album out. quite sheltonesque, actually – the album thing.

I like Zac & BP but for me the best in this group is clearly “Bruises” which I purchased a few months ago on i-Tunes. I like the line “She’s in Queens with the man of her dreams” since I grew up in Queens but I guess that part of NYC was chosen only because it rhymes with dreams. The song is, as you say, a feel good number and I also found that line about the pull of gravity a bit strange. It may seem strange that “Bruises” is the first song I ever heard from Train. I’ll have to check out some more of their music.

Ashley is great and super talented. But she’s a stylist and as such, she cannot sing super rangy songs, as much as she would want to. She tried at the WB party at CRS and it was painful. It then contributed to her own song being off. But recovered when she and Ran backed Sheryl Crow on the Eagles cover Sheryl did.
