Zac Brown Band‘s upcoming live album, ‘From the Road, Vol. 1: Covers’ will feature renditions of songs made famous by other artists, which ZBB have performed live in concert over the course of their 20-year long career.
In anticipation of the album, ZBB released the first track from the compilation, their rendition of Queen‘s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The band’s take on the classic hit was recorded during their 2015 set at SSE Arena in London. Brown says in a statement: “‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is one of the craziest song arrangements, Freddie Mercury was a mad genius. It took us about a year of working on it off and on to come up with a version that sounds like it. To pull that song off live is a testament to the ninjas in my band. It’s one of my favorite covers to do live, and getting to play it at Wembley was a huge moment for us.”
The full track list and release date for From the Road, Vol. 1: Covers have not yet been revealed, but some of their recent set lists have included covers of “Adore You” by Harry Styles, Alabama’s “Mountain Music,” and Radiohead’s “Creep.”
Zac Brown Band’s headlining From the Fire Tour is still going strong, and will stop at select U.S. cities, including Tampa, Baltimore, and Denver, before wrapping up in early November. Dates and additional ticketing information can be found on the band’s official website.
