Summertime Blues is a poignant and unvarnished collection from Zach Bryan, showcasing his raw storytelling and heartfelt delivery. Released in 2022 as a follow-up to his breakout American Heartbreak, this nine-track EP is steeped in themes of restlessness, nostalgia, and working-class struggle. Bryan’s stripped-down instrumentation and vivid lyrics give each song a lived-in intimacy, capturing fleeting moments of summer romance, heartbreak, and quiet rebellion. Tracks like “Oklahoma Smokeshow” and “Motorcycle Drive By” lean into his Americana roots, while “Jamie” and “Matt and Audie” paint stark, emotional portraits of life and loss. With Summertime Blues, Bryan continues to cement his place as one of modern country and folk’s most authentic voices.
