Zac Brown Band
Uncaged
Atlantic / Warner
Firmly entrenched on the pop
side of the country spectrum, the Zac Brown Band’s fifth studio long-player, Uncaged, sees this multi-Grammy winning
six-piece, looking to extend their sonic scope.
Lashings of reggae and rock permeate the polished, high-sheen country
antics they’ve won numerous awards for in the US, which to be honest muddies
the waters somewhat – it’s like the record, despite the instrumental virtuosity
of the players, doesn’t really know what it wants.
However, if pop/country is
your bag, you’ll delight in some of the finest playing (particularly from
fiddle player Jimmy de Martini) around, especially on decent country workout
‘The Wind’ – solid record, just a bit confused.
