That\u2019s what I\u2019m tonkin\u2019 bout.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret (or at least it shouldn\u2019t 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\u2019s and 90\u2019s sound country music fans clearly still crave, and doing it extremely well I might add<\/p>\n

While his original music, especially the songs from his recent sophomore studio album, \u201cCold Beer & Country Music,\u201d are nothing short of incredible, the man does every artist before him justice when he adds\u00a0his<\/em>\u00a0smooth and twangy vocals into the mix. From his acoustic covers of George Strait\u2019s \u201cI Can Still Make Cheyenne\u201d and \u201cNobody In His Right Mind Would\u2019ve Left Her\u201d (you can watch that\u00a0here), to his live performances of\u00a0Billy Currington\u2019s\u00a02006 hit, \u201cGood Directions.\u201dAnd now, Top recently covered \u201cNobody to Blame\u201d and while almost no one can out-sing\u00a0Chris Stapleton\u00a0(obviously), Top\u2019s twangy vocals and smooth, fun delivery on stage make for a performance that captures you in right away and makes you wanna go down a rabbit hole on ZT videos on the YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody to Blame\u201d was written by Chris himself, as well as Barry Bales and Ronnie Bowman and was released in 2015 as Stapleton\u2019s third overall single. It became his first-ever top ten at country radio and later won Song of the Year at the good ole ACM Awards.<\/p>\n
