DESCRIPTION:
To celebrate its 15th Anniversary, Zac Brown Band is proud to announce a vinyl reissue of its platinum-selling album The Foundation, which includes for the first time: • A full audio remaster for vinyl • A brand new retrospective essay from Zac Brown • A first-time-on-colored vinyl pressing • Complete restoration of the original artwork and fully-detailed packaging The Foundation earned the Zac Brown Band three Grammy nominations and the coveted Best New Artist win. It's both a crossover album and a traditional album. And, true to its name, it laid a foundation for one of the most inspired careers in country music. On the business side, The Foundation represented one of the band's smartest business moves. They were originally signed to a deal with a company called Live Nation Artists, but parted ways when their contact at the company left. Though Atlantic Records didn't have a Nashville office, much less a presence in country music, the band signed a joint label venture with Atlantic after their single "Chicken Fried" already had significant clout. The Foundation completely changed the aesthetic of country radio at the time. Five singles gave the record serious legs, despite much of the album having roots in the previous century (no exaggeration). Four of them — "Chicken Fried," "Toes," "Highway 20 Ride" and "Free" hit No. 1 status. "Whatever It Is" landed at No. 2. The record also introduced the band's incredible musicianship, rivaled only by their eclecticism.
