"Heavy Is the Head" is the sound of Zac Brown Band, a country outfit by trade, going for the jugular. It came out on March 6, 2015, the follow-up single to "Homegrown" from their fourth album, Jekyll + Hyde, which arrived on April 28, and instead of courting country stations the band sent it to rock radio, with guest vocals from Chris Cornell.
Six names share the writing credit: Zac Brown, Jimmy De Martini, Wyatt Durrette, John Driskell Hopkins, Niko Moon and Darrell Scott. The Southern rock bruiser found work away from the radio too, serving as the theme for Major League Baseball's 2015 season and turning up in the video game WWE 2K16. "Loving You Easy" was the next single out.
