Senior Writer Jeff Every Tuesday on Morning Express, we tell you about the best new CDs hitting stores. This week, we have a special blog edition of New Music Tuesday. The Zac Brown Band’s new album, “Foundation” is out this week. The guys are riding high right now. Their single “Chicken Fried” is a top 5 hit, and it’s been on the country music charts for 5 months. I asked Zac a few questions about the new album, his heroes, and of course, how to cook up some tasty fried chicken. Writer Jeff: Your new album is called “Foundation”… and you’ve started a non-profit foundation for kids. What inspired you to do that? WJ: You guys sold out a show recently in New York. How does it feel to be a boy from the Georgia mountains playing in front of sold-out crowds in NYC? WJ: “Chicken Fried” is climbing the charts. How do you balance enjoying your success vs. worrying about finding another hit? WJ: Zac, you used to own a restaurant where you were also the cook. What are your tips for making great fried chicken? WJ: If you could pick anything to eat tonight for dinner, what would it be? WJ: You’ve opened for some of the biggest names in country music. What’s it been like getting to meet your musical heroes? WJ: You’ve even opened for ZZ Top. That sounds like a battle of the beards as much as a battle of the bands. Did you guys compare grooming tips? WJ: Do you ever think you’ll shave off your beard?
