Homegrown

"Homegrown" is a song recorded by American country music group Zac Brown Band. It was released on January 12, 2015 and is the first single from the band's fourth studio album Jekyll + Hyde, released on April 28, 2015. The song was written by Zac Brown, Wyatt Durrette and Niko Moon. Content The song produced by Zac Brown and Jay Joyce is about a man satisfied with the life he has rather than what it could be. The man sings about having everything he needs and nothing he doesn't, namely the "good friends that live down the street" and the "good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me" that he would never give up. Reception Critical The single has received positive reviews from critics. Awarding the single 4 stars, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard describes the single as "an ode to simple living, but it relies on intricately arranged vocal harmonies, splendid guitar/banjo interplay and a lovely key change in the final minute." Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B rating. He described the song as "a perfectly fine record, one that covers very familiar lyrical territory while borrowing more from eighties middle America rock and roll than is usual for the band".
