Zach Top on Duck Hunting, Merle Haggard, and Working Cattle out in God's Country

Country music’s fastest rising traditional voice Zach Top joins God’s Country with The Brothers Hunt for one of the most requested episodes we’ve ever had.

From growing up on a ranch in Sunnyside, Washington, to winning the first-ever Grammy for Traditional Country Album, Zach sits down with Dan and Reid to talk about the state of country music, cowboy life, and why fans are falling back in love with classic country sounds.

The guys cover everything from duck hunting stories and branding cattle to Zach’s trip to The Masters with Peyton Manning and Duck Hodges, plus a hilarious round of Lyric or Lie where Zach proves he knows his 90s country.

The highlight of the episode? Zach grabs the guitar and performs Tim McGraw’s “Just To See You Smile” live in studio — a moment every country fan will love.

They also dive into:

• Why traditional country is making a comeback
• Morgan Wallen as a “gateway drug” to country music
• Meeting legends like Alan Jackson
• Cowboy culture vs Nashville culture
• Duck hunting, turkey hunting, and life on the road

If you love George Strait, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, and real country music, this episode is for you.
