Chicken Fried (The Foundation Version) - Zac Brown Band - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released on June 16, 2008, as the first single from their major-label debut The Foundation, Zac Brown Band's uber-patriotic "Chicken Fried" propelled the group to new heights of popular acclaim. Singer-songwriter Zac Brown started writing it with collaborator Wyatt Durrette several years before its first known recording in 2003. This version was later included in the band's 2005 self-released studio debut, Home Grown. After a version by country act The Lost Trailers entered US country charts in 2006, Zac Brown decided to re-record the track for The Foundation, the group's second full-length and their first release for Atlantic Records. With lyrics that evoke a sense of patriotism and Southern pride, "Chicken Fried" quickly climbed to the top of Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and Number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It went six-times Platinum in the US after selling over 4 million copies.
