If you’ve seen the Zac Brown Band in concert, you already know how infectious their live performances can be. Seeing the group live is not just attending an ordinary show; it’s an experience.

This isn’t the first time the multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning group has released a live record. From The Road, Vol 1: Covers follows the Zac Brown Band’s 2007 release of Live From The Rock Bus Tour and Pass The Jar which was released in 2010.

“Our first live record in over a decade, From The Road, Vol 1: Covers is out Nov. 10th. This project is a celebration of the songs that we listen to, and some of our favorite arrangements that we’ve reimagined over the years,” Zac Brown Band shared on Facebook.

The twelve-track collection includes covers of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” (live at the SSE Arena, Wembley, London, UK), Fred Astaire’s 1936 Oscar-winning song, “The Way You Look Tonight” (live at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, Irvine, CA), and the Who’s “Baba O’Riley” (Live at Fenway Park, Boston, MA).

The Southern rock group, led by frontman Zac Brown, previously released The Comeback (Deluxe) in 2022. The deluxe version of the Zac Brown Band’s seventh album brings fans tracks reimagined as duets with some of music’s biggest stars such as Blake Shelton, Jimmy Buffett, Cody Johnson, and more.

The Zac Brown Band is currently out on the road for their 2023 “From The Fire Tour” with special guests Marcus King, Tenille Townes, and King Calaway on select dates.

7 Zac Brown Band Classics Everyone Should Know

"Homegrown" (2015)
This song is about a man satisfied with his life as it is, rather than worrying about what it could be. The man sings about having everything he needs and nothing he doesn’t, namely the “good friends that live down the street” and the “good lookin’ woman with her arms around me” that he would never give up.
"Sweet Annie" (2013)
The music video for this sweet song premiered in October 2013. It featured an edited video of longtime band member Coy Bowles’ wedding.
"Keep Me in Mind" (2011)
The music video for this song was filmed during a live performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado. It shows the group on their tour bus, in concert, and shots of the Red Rocks. It uses a live version of the song.
"Knee Deep" (featuring Jimmy Buffett) (2011)
One of the songs Zac Brown Band is most well-known for. It’s the perfect song for lazy days (hence the presence of Jimmy Buffett). The song is about laying back and having no worries: “Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.”
"As She's Walking Away" (featuring Alan Jackson) (2010)
This number-one song features guest vocals from Alan Jackson. The song is the sixth single released by the band and the first from the album You Get What You Give. It won the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals at the 53rd Grammy Awards.
"Toes" (2009)
Another Zac Brown Band classic. In the song, the male narrator describes a relaxing trip to Mexico from Georgia, or “G-A.” Throughout the verses, he tells of the “pretty señoritas” and “muchachas” that he encounters, as well as the alcoholic drinks that he consumes.
"Chicken Fried" (2008)
The song was first recorded in 2003 for the 2005 album Home Grown. Two years later, the Zac Brown Band re-recorded the song and released it as the first single from their album The Foundation. “Chicken Fried” became the band’s first chart single and their first number-one hit on the Billboard Country charts.
