Revival - Zach Bryan

Revival - Zach Bryan
3:40
Elisabeth, 2020
Written by Zach Bryan

With its sparse instrumentation, this song is raw and feels intimate, like you're hearing a bar band playing some favorite song after hours, just for themselves.  It has the kind of sing-along chorus that Middle America and indie hipsters alike can get behind: "For the sake of my survival / Baptize me in a bottle of Beam, put Johnny on the vinyl."  It's got that old time religion, but with a shot of whiskey and the gospel choir plays outlaw country.  He confesses his sins and the expiation is a good time with the boys.
