Zac Brown Band is back with a brand new album!

Jekyll + Hyde, the band’s much-anticipated new album, features their current smash hit, “Homegrown,” as well as 15 additional tracks.

ZBB frontman Zac Brown recently opened up about the album’s title, revealing that while it’s not taken from a song on the album, it represents the style of music fans will hear on the record.

“We decided on the name ‘Jekyll + Hyde’ because it foreshadows the breadth of the record and stylistically where this record has gone because it kind of time travels and goes to different genres and goes to different periods in time,” he shares. “There’s some of them that have a real kind of darkness to them and some of them have a light and some of them are full of emotion and kind of a mourning in some of the songs and then some of them are just a celebration so it’s kind of like the yin and the yang that we all carry around with us, and music is the best medicine in the world to help for whatever emotion that you’re trying to do. I think there’s a little bit of something for everyone on this album.”

While there is something for everyone, Brown admits that some country music purists may not be a fan of everything they hear on Jekyll + Hyde.

“Our intention is not to abandon any of the roots of where we come from. There’s great story songs on there, there’s country songs on there, there’s some gospel-type songs on there, there’s some heavy philosophy on some of those songs. We had something to say, but there’s also some fun stuff,” he explains. “There’s also things that go into new places. That’s just exciting. It’s not about abandoning. It’s about expanding. It’s about growing as artists and as musicians and opening ourselves up to the world and what else the world has.”

To celebrate the release of the album, ZBB will tour the country on the Jekyll + Hyde Tour throughout the summer.
