Title: Zac Brown Band does it again!
Review: This is another great adventure through the musical stratosphere with one of the most dynamic groups to hit the scene in years. Zac Brown Band keeps you on the edge of your seat with each track. Starting from the "Jump right in" an uplifting island flavored track with great harmonies. Then the gritty guitar of "Uncaged" with a bit of the "Who Knows" feel I love including plenty of Jimmy D and the boys. On to "Goodbye in Her Eyes" the first ballad, where Zac takes over with his soulful vocals and the band backs him up beautifully. "The Wind" blows us away to country songs past with the quick paced music ZBB does so well. This track was performed live last night to open the Home Run Derby and ZBB tore it up. Then we get to travel down to the "Island Song" where the band pays tribute to Bob Marley and their love for reggae shines once again. "Sweet Annie" has the feel of "Jolene" with a different message one that says I need a rest from the road and can't wait to be with you my Sweet Annie. Ever meet that "Natural Disaster" of a woman you couldn't run away from even though you knew you were going to get burned, that's the one ZBB is telling you about in this song of warning and desire. Perhaps the most intriguing journey that ZBB takes us on is the one where we get to stay "Overnight feat. Trombone Shorty" It's like a time warp to the 1970's complete with a smooth beat, a sexy hook, some horn, and jazz guitar. In true ZBB style they pull it off stunningly. "Lance's Song" a lullaby about a musician who followed his dreams and played the music he loved until the lord took him home to the big band in the sky, must have been someone very special to the band. We all think about the "Day That I Die feat. Amos Lee" what do we want to leave behind how we want to be remembered. What were we put here to do; well ZBB was put here to entertain us with great music that makes you think. This song features a great message, incredible harmonies and pays homage to the music that the band was born to play. "Last But Not Least" we have to say goodbye to this masterpiece that will surely make plenty of summer hits and hopefully get you thinking about your own passion and how you can share it with others. Thanks to ZBB and Amazon for making this great album available at such an affordable price.

Title: Love it, love it, love it!
Review: If my three previous Zac Brown Band CDs were LPs, they would have worn out a long time ago. That's how much I love this band. I was very excited and skeptical at the same time when I heard they were coming out with a new album. I was bracing myself to be disappointed that it wouldn't live up to my love for the other albums. I am very happy to report that it is just as good or even better! I was able to listen to a preview of the album for a few days and I just kept playing it over and over because I couldn't get enough. I was sooo thrilled when I got the CD from Amazon today (a day early - thanks, Amazon!) Obviously, I cannot recommend the album enough. Several of the songs are very catchy and I find myself singing them during the few hours of the day that I'm not listening to the album! I actually enjoy every song and the balance of the album, overall. The only negative thing I can say is that now I'm sad that I'll have to wait another year or more for the next one. Great, great music!

Title: Nice addition
Review: I have Zac Brown’s Greatest Hits, but sometimes you want to hear songs that are missed. This CD is a very enjoyable to my Zac Brown collection. Great price; quick ship. Recommend.

Title: Good CD, but nothing new here, which isn't necessarily a bad thing!
Review: I pre-ordered this weeks ago, having absolutely loved everything these guys have put out. I received this in the mail today and have listened to it two times, and while it is another solid CD, there is nothing really new here. The disc opens with one of my favorite songs from the CD, "Jump Right In", an uptempo, catchy fun song that continues on with the ZBB "island music" songs, making you want to leave work early and head for the water. The title song, "Uncaged" follows, another uptempo song that displays the the bands musical skills. Track three is sort of a trite ballad, "Goodbye In Her Eyes", that has been done a million times, and while the song is OK, it is weak if you compare it to their other goodbye songs like "Highway 20 Ride" & "Colder Weather". The lead single, "Where The Wind Blows, is another catchy up tempo song that has the boys in fine form with soaring fiddles, mandolin and organ throughout the song. "Next up is "Island Song", a pure reggae song, similar to "Where The Boat Leaves From" from their debut CD "The Foundation", but just not as good in my opinion. Next up is "Sweet Annie", a lament to a girlfriend/wife for always having to be on the road and a thank you to her for allowing him to "live out his fantasy" and "not giving up on him". No new theme here, but Zac does a great job on the lead vocal in this one and the harmonies are perfect, recalling the harmonies from "Colder Weather". Next up is "Natural Disaster", another uptempo song, similar to "Mary" off The Foundation. Their most adventurous song on the CD is a sexy 70's sounding bedroom romp called "Overnight", complete with horns. While it isn't a bad song, it seems a bit our of place here. The last three songs find ZBB doing what they do best...the mid tempo, life lesson songs about slowing down and enjoying the ride..."Lance's Song", "Day That I Die" & the closer, "Last But Not Least" are all solid songs and close the album perfectly. In closing, it is very safe to say that if you loved their first two studio CD's, you will like and possibly love this CD. For me, however, each of their subsequent CD's has regressed, just a little bit. With that said, this is still some very good music.

Review: 最初にThe Foundationを手にした時は耳を疑った。このアルバムはあまりにも出来過ぎていると。声量豊かで伸びのあるボーカル、演奏も全く隙がなく曲の完成度も高い。そして新人には勿体ないほどのサウンドのクオリティ。収録されている曲が全て粒ぞろいなのだ。ZacはYou Get What You Giveでもこの偉業を果たす。そしてこの本作UncagedでもZacの音楽に対するポリシーは不変だ。決してファンを裏切らないアルバムだ。特に9曲目Lance’s SongはEaglesやNRPSに通じるアコースティックなカントリーロックの秀曲。最近はエレクトリック路線に走ってしまったZacだが、舞い戻ってきて欲しいと感じるのは私一人だろうか。

Review: Non c'è che dire ZBB non escono di frequente,ma quando lo fanno il risultato è sempre molto,molto buono. Forse sara' che non compongono "a cottimo" ed è per questo che tutto è curato nei minimi passaggi sonori e vocali. Bravi davvero

Review: A fantastic album, I'd never heard of Zac Brown Band until I heard Jump Right In on the radio, and then saw them on Later with Jools Holland, so I had to buy Uncaged, and it has to be one of the very best albums I have ever heard, every song on the album is great that it's impossible to pick a favourite, Sweet Annie, Goodbye In Her Eyes, Lance's Song, Island Song, Day That I Die,-I could go through the whole album!!!! perhaps Overnight is different to all the others songs and I do not listen to it as much, although in saying that, it is also very good, and it is very well produced. You will definitely love this album, and if you haven't bought it yet, then you are missing the most beautiful music I have heard in a long long time.

Review: Meine Lieblingsband mit dem dritten Major-Album. Die einzelnen Songs (auf die Texte gehe ich nicht weiter ein, da nur 1 X gehört):Jump right in - Midtempo, nicht sehr countryesk, etwa vergleichbar mit Let it go, wie üblich Tempo und Rythmus-Wechsel. Keyboard erinnert an Van Morrison.Uncaged - ziemlich abgefahren, Artrock/ProgRock, so in der Art. Extrem mutig, jeder typische Nashville-Konsument wird sich fürchterlich erschrecken. Wird garantiert keine Single, könnte aber live mächtig die Hütte rocken.Goodbye in her eyes - wie der Titel schon vermuten lässt balladesk, nicht sehr catchy, wie ich finde.The wind - ZBB at its best. Uptempo Bluegrass, besser geht's nicht. Erste Single-Auskopplung (hiermit wird auch das typische Country-Publikum klarkommen ;-)Island Song - der obligatorische Reggae. Großartig gespielt und gesungen, leider nicht das genialste Songwriting.Sweet Annie - wurde, quasi als Vorbote zu Uncaged, bereits viel live gespielt (vielleicht ein Stück aus der Independent-Zeit?). Sehr schöne Ballade.Natural Disaster - Holla, noch eine Überraschung: hört sich zunächst extrem an wie Mumford & Sons. Ob Zac die überhaupt kennt? Tolles melodiestarkes Lied. Viel zu kurz.Overnight - smooth Soul, mal was ganz anderes. Mit Trombone Shorty. Dezent jazzig.Lance's Song - ist an mir vorbeigerauscht.Day that I die - Gänsehaut, megagenial (Tschuldigung für das Wort). Der Refrain haut mich völlig aus den Socken. Ohne zuviel vom Text zu verraten Zac's vorweggenommenes Testament. Duett mit Amos Lee.Last but not least - laid back, erinnert teilweise an James Taylor, der Song wächst, am Ende singt Clay Cook.Fazit (nach erstem Hören): etwas schwächer als die Vorgänger, gleichwohl eine unglaublich gute Band. Alle Songs irgendwie zu kurz (?). Weit vorbei am Country-Mainstream (wo war eigentlich Country?).
