Zac Brown's beer-soaked playlist

I've seen the Zac Brown Band play a few times. At an outdoor venue in Austin, in a dirty bar on Lower Greenville, and even on a Carnival cruise ship in the middle of the ocean (don't even think about asking). And every time I've seen the band play, I've been drunk. Not that you need alcohol to enjoy this Georgia group's fun mix of downhome country originals and unpredictable cover tunes (Rage Against the Machine, anyone?). But too much beer (and sometimes Jager) makes the whole experience juuuust right.

That's why we felt the need to have beard-tastic lead singer Zac Brown tell us his five favorite songs to play while sippin' a cold one. If this list (or the above video) inspires ya, catch the band tonight at House of Blues. Tickets are only $10.50. See you there.

Hank Williams' "Jambalaya" - "You have to cool down the Cajun flavor in this song with a cold beer, juking ... and I can taste dem crawdads right when it starts."

Steve Earle's "Rivers of Babylon" - "Spirit of the people moving thru this song and the sway of the background vocals makes me thirsty."

Ryan Adams' and David Rawlings' "To be Young" - "It's all in the title."

Crosby Stills Nash and Young's "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" - "Incredible acoustic guitar, harmony, and the development into a huge fiesta at the end. Perfect arrangement and execution."

Wayne Scott's "It's The Whiskey That Eases The Pain" - "Honesty, that real old country swagger, and traditional instruments make this one # 5".
