It’s no secret (or at least it shouldn’t be anyway), that Zach Top is emerging himself as one of the biggest country artists in the genre. While Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan overwhelmingly dominate streaming numbers, Top is bringing back that traditional 80’s and 90’s sound country music fans clearly still crave, and doing it extremely well I might add.
While his original music, especially the songs from his recent sophomore studio album, “Cold Beer & Country Music,” are nothing short of incredible, the man does every artist before him justice when he adds his smooth and twangy vocals into the mix. From his acoustic covers of George Strait’s “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” and “Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her” (you can watch that here), to his live performance of Chris Stapleton’s “Nobody To Blame,” Top just doesn’t miss.
And recently, I did a quick deep dive on Zach’s YouTube account and discovered a three-year old cover of Billy Currington’s cold can anthem, “Pretty Good At Drinkin’ Beer.”
The song was written by the late Troy Jones (also responsible for ‘People are Crazy,’) and was released in 2010 as Currington’s first single off his fourth studio album, “Enjoy Yourself.” It went on to become his fifth No. 1 hit and is currently certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
While this might not be the most exciting cover that Top has uploaded to social media, it’s definitely worth watching. Check it out for yourself here:
