Welcome to Episode 65 of This Is Not Happening. An Album of the Month podcast. 

In Part 1, we review our Album of the Month. This month Nolan brings a big chunk of country (or is Heartland Rock?) with Zach Bryan’s latest release ‘With Heaven On Top’.

In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. This month the theme is ‘New Music’, tracks released since January 1st.

__________Part 1 | Album of the Month | Zach Bryan | With Heave On Top ____________

Zach Bryan is a relatively divisive, country artist who is HUGE in the states but can his latest album help him become (even more of) a global superstar? At 25 tracks and 1hr 18 mins he’s giving the album every chance of making an impact.

This album has genuine, authentic heart. It’s length is a big talking point, so is it’s genre, is it country? Americana? Something else?

  • Listen to the original album here.
  • Listen to the acoustic version released 3 days after the original here.
  • Watch an interesting conversation with Bryan and Springsteen here.

       ___________________Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | New Music _____________________

Every 3 months we pick the theme ‘New Music’ and each pick 4 tracks that have been released in the last 2 month. Listen to our 16 track play list that we created for the New Music theme.

We then each pick select 1 track and ask the simple question ‘Spin It Or Bin It’?
