The double (or even triple) album might be thriving, but for a non-household name to release a 34-track album as their major-label debut? That's pretty audacious. To do something like that, you need a compelling reason. What possible force could be pushing you? For rising country singer Zach Bryan, who released his 34-track American Heartbreak in May, the "why" justifies that level of output. And Bryan hasn't stopped at 34 songs. On Friday he shared even more new music: a nine-song EP called Summertime Blues.
