John Mayer is sharing his admiration for Zach Bryan ‘s new album. On Thursday (July 4), the 46-year-old musician took to social media to praise the country star’s highly anticipated release, The Great American Bar Scene . Mayer is featured on the track “Better Days.
” “I always knew this song Zach wrote was special,” Mayer began his post on X (formerly Twitter). “I had no idea how beautiful, powerful and deep an album it would be a part of. I’m stunned.
” The “Your Body Is A Wonderland” singer added, “I’m blessed to have been able to fulfill my dreams of making music. What I never saw coming: to be asked to play with an artist as deeply tapped in as @zachlanebryan is. Thank you for inviting me into your dream-coming-true.
” “Better Days” features an uplifting, optimistic message about going deep on the good times because they can be fleeting. Mayer, who co-produced the gentle song, provides tasty guitar licks throughout, as well as a muscular solo midway through. The Great American Bar Scene dropped on July 4 through Warner Records.
The 19-track project includes 18 songs and a poem, highlighted by the preview releases of “Pink Skies” and “Purple Gas.” A double vinyl version of album is slated for release on Oct. 10.
In addition to prepping new music, Bryan has been headlining his Quittin Time Tour, which welcomes a slate of openers including Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Turnpike Troubadours and The War & Treaty. See Mayer’s .
