I saw the Zac Brown Band in concert as an opening band last year and they were hot for the song Chicken Fried. I was impressed by the sound of the band but not the song and not their look as I think they are channelling Box Car Willy for their wardrobe. Over the last year I have come full circle in my opinion as I have heard much more mature music from them and very mature pursuits in what they do for our troops. The Foundation is a must have as it is a new sound with old time roots. The instrumentation and harmonies are superb as are the songs that are wide ranging. As a country music fan I am embarrassed I didn't buy this CD sooner.
The sound quality is great, but I was a little disappointed that some of the songs were the short version. On my original album that I replaced with this one, the song “Free” was extended to include a version of “Into the mystic”. This one does not.

As with most CD's when you're trying out a new group, there will be a few surprises. I bought this CD for one specific song 'highway 20 ride'. That song has special meaning, and is very beautiful. There are one or two others on this CD that are good as well, but the remaining were too 'grass roots' for my taste, which isn't 'home grown'. With that in mind, I recommend potential buyers to listen to the complete selection before purchasing, or be happy flipping tracks to get to the ones you'd like to hear, as is the case with my 'track surfing' husband. A little nerve racking at times, but better than enduring unpleasant music, I suppose.
The first thing I like before I ever put the disc in was the case. I have never seen anything like it and I think it is a great marketing tool. The CD itself has a bunch of catchy sing along songs from Toes to the smash hit Chicken Fried to one of the more bizarre songs you'll hear, Sic'em on a Chicken. If you like country music or know someone who does, and they don't own The Foundation by the Zac Brown Band, buy it. It is worth the money.
Bought it for one song my grandaughter , I love to sing too. Chicken Fry!!
