Nine Ball - Zach Bryan - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released as the opening track of Zach Bryan's 2023 Boys of Faith EP, "Nine Ball" draws from the well of his family's history, specifically the nuanced relationship between his father and grandfather. Written and produced by Zach Bryan himself, "Nine Ball" delves into the complexities of a son grappling with his father's gambling habits, specifically betting on the son's prowess in pool-playing. Musically, "Nine Ball" is anchored in a roots-rock foundation, adorned with the rustic charm of Americana harmonica and a blues-inspired bass riff. Recorded during a week-long retreat, Zach Bryan's process was as immersive as it was revealing, culminating in a work that reflects not just personal struggles but also a broader sense of hope. Shortly after its release as a commercial single, "Nine Ball" left its mark on the US charts, reaching number 15 on the Hot Country Songs chart while also charting in countries like Canada and New Zealand.
