Some Kind of Voodoo

I will just come right out and say it...the Zac Brown Band album "The Foundation" has some kind of voodoo over me. Lately my thoughts have been directly pulled from the lyrics, I am beginning to wonder of foul play. Certainly a lead singer as scruffy and unassuming as this must need subliminal messages or voodoo to have ensnared my mind so well. For example, "sic 'em on a chicken" isn't something generally found in my vocabulary, and "its not ok" to be humming songs of Jolene and cocaine. But still I find myself almost dreaming the words, wishing for a first kiss on the forth of July, hoping someday I'll have "whatever it is" to be the center of a man's world, to have my "toes in the water, ass in the sand, ...cold beer in my hand," and to have some bittersweet memory of that "highway 20 ride." I guess what it boils down to is they have "whatever it is" that makes my "heart go haywire." Really, they just have an awesome record that flows so well together that I feel like I'm living the sweet and melancholy life of a broken-hearted, yet loving southern man. Given I'm So Cal born and bred, that doesn't happen so easily.

See what I'm saying! Voodoo I tell you! But if you like real country with out the flash and bang of pop mixed in, this group straight out of the south may make you wanna "slap yo' momma," but please don't, southern ladies are sure to hit back harder than you might think!

So tell me, who's got the voodoo over you?

PS - They're not paying me for that shameless plug, but if they feel like throwing tickets my way, well I'd me much obliged! ;-)
