Zach Bryan Honors Jason Isbell on Belting Bronco | Country Music News

Zach Bryan just dropped a soul-stirring episode of Belting Bronco featuring none other than Jason Isbell — the man he calls his “McCartney” and biggest musical hero. Filmed in a Nashville bar after a rainy ride, the raw, heartfelt conversation touches on Dolly Parton, Elvis, and the power of songwriting — with Isbell sharing a legendary story about holding her ground over credits. Bryan, visibly moved, even penned a poem for Isbell, recalling how he’d wait hours to shake his hand and how Isbell’s music kept him going through grueling construction shifts to pay for his mother’s funeral. He calls Isbell the best songwriter alive and urges fans to dive into his entire catalog — all while teasing his new EP and a touching Oklahoma music video with his grandmother. This isn’t just another episode — it’s a tribute to art, legacy, and the deep bonds that shape artists. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
