What do you give a guy who helps you score another #1 song and a pair of Grammy nominations? If you're Alan Jackson, you give Zac Brown a 1966 Cadillac. In a press release, Alan said, “I think Zac is one of the coolest new talents to come along and he’s a Georgia boy like me. It was an honor to be on his record.” Wednesday afternoon, just before Zac Brown Band's sold-out show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Zac spotted the white convertible El Dorado and admired it. Then Alan told him, "That's your car." According to Alan, “He’s a pretty good fellow, and I just wanted to do something for him.” Typical Alan Jackson understatement and modesty! Here's Alan joining ZBB for "As She's Walkin' Away" on Wednesday night in Nashville.
