Zach Bryan, Bruce Springsteen Talk Songwriting
Bruce Springsteen will go down in history as one of the best songwriters in music. The icon isn’t slowing down after nearly five decades dominating the music industry. He collaborated on the song “Sandpaper” for country music star Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene album.
The two reunited for a Rolling Stone magazine’s Musicians On Musicians series. During their long conversation, the “Glory Days” singer asked the younger artist when he finally felt like a real songwriter. Zach Bryan responded that he still doesn’t. “To this day I have really bad imposter syndrome,” he said
He shared his early song-writing process when he was in the Navy.
“I’d go home and I would write, and I never in a million years thought I would become a songwriter because I never thought I had the talent. And that’s not a humble thing, it’s just I never in a million years that I would be sitting here with you.”
Country Star’s True Reaction To Overnight Fame
Zach Bryan released his first studio album DeAnn in 2019 without a major label. His studio album, American Heartbreak, with Warner Records came out in 2022. The album shot him to overnight stardom. He followed it up with new album releases in 2023 and 2024.
The former military member is still adjusting to fame. He recently had to apologize after offending Swifties. He admitted to the “Streets of Philadelphia” singer that he doesn’t love being labeled a country artist.
“When I first started making music, I told Stefan and Danny, my managers, I was like, ‘I want to be in a lane where, when people look back, they can listen to my music and it’s supremely whatever you were doing.’ You were the only person in my head that has ever done that.”
His Next Shocking Collaboration
For a while there, Zach Bryan’s relationship with podcast Brianna Chickenfry was overshadowing his music career. But his new interview with Bruce Springsteen puts the focus back on the music aspect. The country star has big plans, including a new album. He confessed to Bruce Springsteen that he already wrote 14 new songs for his sixth album.
It might feature an unexpected musical guest. Rapper Snoop Dogg revealed on The TODAY Show that he has a collaboration in the works with Zach Bryan. The Voice coach kept the details to himself for now.
