Zac Brown Band released an Amazon Original cover of James Taylor‘s “Sweet Baby James,” on Friday (Jan. 29th). It is available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music.
Zac said, “I started listening to James Taylor in elementary school. He’s probably my single biggest influence that I’ve ever had. What Taylor plays on the acoustic guitar is very hard – there are moving base lines, and there's a rhythm and melody all playing at one time. He showed me what you can do with a single guitar to accompany a song. I hope our fans love this as much as we do.”
Zac Brown Band has a long history with Taylor, sharing the stage with him at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards, performing a medley of their hit song “Colder Weather” with “Sweet Baby James.”
