Zach Bryan has released an acoustic version of his sixth studio album, With Heaven on Top, which dropped last week on Jan 9th. The new 25-track project, marking Bryan’s sixth studio release, was written/recorded/produced by Bryan over the last several months in Tulsa, and features the songs “Santa Fe,’” “Skin,” “Bad News” and “Sundown Girls”.
Bryan, 29, wrote on Instagram to announce the acoustic version: “I’m assuming this record is just like all the other ones and there’s gonna be a billion people saying it’s over produced and sh*itty so I sat down in a room by myself and recorded all the songs acoustically so I didn’t have to hear everyone whine about more stuff. here’s mistakes and I didn’t redo any of them but this’ll be out three days after ‘With Heaven On Top’ drops tomorrow. This was a painting hanging on the wall in the house that we recorded all the songs in when we got there.”
The new companion album includes stripped-down versions of 24 tracks featuring just Bryan on vocals and guitar, along with alternative cover art. On streaming platforms, With Heaven On Top is broken down into two parts with the acoustic version as “Disc 1,” and “Disc 2” comprised of the original 25 track album – totaling 49 tracks in all.
The release of With Heaven on Top follows Bryan’s recent marriage to Samantha Leonard in a ceremony in Spain, which the couple confirmed through posts on social media.
The country star will also launch his With Heaven On Tour in St. Louis in March, spanning over 40 dates across North America and Europe, including London, Berlin, Oslo, Cork, San Diego, Arlington, TX, and Foxborough, MA. before concluding on October 10th at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, AL.
