More Than a Song: Zach Bryan’s “Hair Slicked Back” Confession

Only Zach Bryan could start a song by planning his afterlife. He sits on a porch, just him and a guitar, as the sky turns dark. He sings, “When I get to hell or heaven, Can I bring my girl?” It does not feel like a performance. It feels like a secret, a confession he just has to get out.

He sings about falling in love with a shotgun and working on himself all fall. He admits that six beers a week is “a little boring.” He is not pretending to be a perfect man. He just seems to be a guy figuring things out. He sings it all so quietly, like he is just thinking out loud.
