Jimmy Buffett & Zac Brown Pay Homage to Van Morrison
Posted on 05.26.10 10:51AM under Crossroads, Jimmy Buffet News
For me the highlight of the Jimmy Buffett-Zac Brown Band Crossroads had to be their medley of ZBB’s “Free” with Van Morrison’s classic “Into the Mystic”. Sometimes when musicians dabble in medleys it comes off as forced, but the two songs seemed to mesh perfectly together. Zac really showed off his powerful vocals in the performance, while Jimmy chimed in on a verse or two. The ZBB band and Coral Reefers jammed out for what was one of the longest songs of the night. It was great to hear Jimmy’s understated voice singing such a haunting, beautiful song like “Into the Mystic”. The song has a lucid, timeless quality. In fact, I’d love to hear Van Morrison sing “Pirate Looks at Forty”. Talk about how great that Crossroads would be. You should definitely look for Jimmy and ZBB’s episode on CMT. Brown and Jimmy’s voices really sound great together.
