Promising Honky-Tonk artist Zachariah Malachi has announced the release of his new single, “The Drinkin’ Song,” a tribute to the late country music legend George Jones. The fast-paced number is pure fun and reminiscent of many traditional country favorites. Self-penned by Zachariah Malachi and produced by Jimmy Capps and Michele Voan Capps, the song was recorded at TMC Recording Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Mark Capps handled mixing. Download and stream the new music on all digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, and more at smarturl.it/thedrinkinsong.
“I wrote this song about the life of George Jones. It’s been a song that I’ve had in my arsenal for over ten years. I actually recorded another version of this song with a band I was in many moons ago. Glad to have brought it out again for the Nashville treatment. I feel this song is complete chaos and that’s a big reason I wrote it,” shared Zachariah Malachi.
“Musically, it sounds to me like Zachariah is standing at the crossroads of Roots Country and Americana, however, he is forging his own path and the road ahead looks like a path well-chosen. His sound is fresh, yet reminiscent of yesterday. His stories are not new, but you have never heard them told this way before. Give him a listen, I think you will like what you hear!” exclaimed Grand Ole Opry® member, Jeannie Seely.
Studio musicians included Jimmy Capps (guitar), Chris Scruggs (steel guitar), Andy Leftwich (fiddle), Tim Atwood (piano), Dave Pomeroy (bass), Greg Ritchie (drums), Charlie McCoy (harmonica), and Anita Stapleton Anderson and Michele Voan Capps (background vocals).
