Zach John King just released his debut album, I’m What You Get, and it is a strong one! The new collection of music is comprised of 20 tracks and serves as a solid introduction to who Zach John King is as a singer, songwriter and storyteller, giving listeners plenty to dig into and enjoy.
Co-writing every song on the album, that personal touch comes through across each track as he tells his story through his art of music. Listeners will be treated to a blend of modern & traditional country influences, giving the collection a timeless feel as King carves out a sound that is distinctly his own. The sense of rawness and relatability can be felt, especially as the artist pulls from his own experiences, thoughts and feelings, which can at times be a vulnerable act, but is also what makes music so powerful when an artist is willing to open up and let listeners in. That is exactly what Zach John King did throughout I’m What You Get.
The album features King’s hit single “Get To Drinkin’,” a track that has already proven the artist on the rise brings plenty of energy with the catchy track that fans have been gravitating to. Now that the album is available, fans will have even more to enjoy. A few of CMR’s favorite tracks include, “I’m What You Get,” “Shoulda Woulda Coulda,” “Mama’s Prayin’,” and “What I’m Giving Up.” And that’s only naming a few, we could definitely keep going!
Zach also includes some strong collaborations on his debut album, including Brooks & Dunn on “Way to Go” and Brent Cobb on “Choppin Wood.” He also teams up with Bayker Blankenship for “Life Behind Bars.” The mix of collaborations adds even more depth and personality to an already well-balanced project, with Zach John King’s own sound remaining at the heart of it all.
There’s plenty of variety throughout the project, and it all comes together to showcase an artist who has a clear vision for his music and is ready to make his mark. The sequencing also should not go unnoticed. From starting things out with “I’m What You Get,” to closing out the album with “What I’m Giving Up,” King did a terrific job bringing the entire collection together for a solid debut album.
