Ready for some peak country?
Videos by Wide Open Country
Zach Top was recently recorded covering a George Jones classic while chilling on a lawnmower full of beer, and it's brilliant.
Country Classics shared the video of the Washington native to their Instagram, and country fans are loving it. The clip was originally shared to Zach Top's account, although it's no longer available for viewing there.
The country singer is relaxed on a lawnmower with his guitar. A crate of Coors light is squat under his legs, and a can resides by his side. I mean, yard work is thirsty work. Gotta stay hydrated.
While sitting there, he covers "Finally Friday" by George Jones. Considering how good Zach Top is at the classic country, it's no wonder he hits this cover out of the park. He nails that Friday feeling with his attire and his vibe. It's just a shame it's a Tuesday as I'm writing this.
The comments are brilliant, too, as country fans gathered to share their thoughts.
You can watch the video below and jam out with Zach Top.

Naturally, country fans hit the comments to express how great they found the cover.
"I love how he's on a lawnmower for this," one laughed.
"Zach's the new king! But I love how George shouted "wild" on the recording haha, you could tell he meant it!" exclaimed another fan.
"He is the absolute love child of George/Alan/90s country," wrote another, and I couldn't agree more. It's funny they should mention Alan Jackson, however, considering the outlandish theory.
"Best thing to happen to country music in a minute," someone else commented.
"We're not worthy!" half-joked a fan.
The results are in, it appears everyone loves this cover, and more importantly, everyone loves Zach Top. Considering his 90s sound, it's no wonder he's got such a huge following. Country right now is diversifying and getting wider, but at least we have Zach Top to keep an authentic sound in the industry.
