Zach Top Confirms August Release For His Sophomore Record: “I Hope You All Are Ready”

LET’S GO.

Zach Top is about to give us all the songs of the summer, at the end of the summer. It’s been no secret that Zach Top has been in the studio working on his sophomore record. During a Q&A session at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, the “Cold Beer & Country Music” singer confirmed that he was finishing up a new record, noting it would come out at some point this year.

“I just went in and tracked a few more songs to round out the second record. So we got that finished up and are getting it mixed right now. It’ll come out at some point in the summer. I’m not sure exactly when yet, but there will be a new record coming this summer.”

The host of the Q&A session then said:

“Music to our ears!”

On top of sharing with fans that he’s gearing up to release new music, he’s been previewing a few new songs on the road, like the Jimmy Buffett-inspired tune seemingly titled “Flip Flop” and “Good Times & Tan Lines,” both island-inspired tunes. They make you want to kick your feet by the pool or beach and crack open a Corona. Both of them sound like the songs of summer to me.

And according to what he told a Scranton, Pennsylvania crowd at the end of May, we are about to get a new Zach Top single, and he confirmed the month his forthcoming record is due for release.

“Alright, I’m gonna sing you a summer song here. I’m gonna try to. It’s a brand new one, actually. It’s coming out on June 9th… I think. I hope I said that right. Chris from the label is here and I’m going to get my butt whooped if I said it wrong. But I think that’s right. 

So June 9th… It will be included on my next record, which is coming out in August. I’m excited about that as well, and hope you all are ready for new music. I’m ready to have some out for you.

And we will lead it off with this. Two things I love just about as much as anything in the world is ‘Good Times & Tan Lines.”

With that, Zach Top then dives into an unreleased song, which he had previously described as a “goofy little summertime song.” The tune, “Good Times & Tan Lines,” has a “Chattahoochee” feel as Top sings about spending time at the local watering hole.

Like Alan Jackson once said: everyone has their own “Chattahoochee,”  and this song instantly transports you to the creek or lake you spent your youth going to (and probably getting into a bit of trouble at).

“Talkin’ about good times and tan lines
Cold beer and summer nights
That was all there was to life
Good times and tan lines
Good, good times and tan lines.” 

If this single’s release date is accurate, we are three days away from new Zach Top music, and I can’t wait. This single is the perfect release to kick off summer, keeping that nostalgic ’90s country sound with a bit of a No Shoes Nation flair.

I’m ready for this and to see what’s in store for his next record.
