Zach Bryan has revealed the reason for him releasing an acoustic version of With Heaven On Top, and it is appears that it is more so that he can silence his critics.

The singer has dropped his sixth studio album on January 9th and took to his social media to announce an acoustic version coming out just days later.

“Also, I’m assuming this record is just like all the other ones and there’s gonna be a billion people saying it’s over produced and shitty so I sat down in a room by myself and recorded all the songs acoustically so I didn’t have to hear everyone whine about more stuff,” the country singer explained.

“There’s mistakes and I didn’t redo any of them but this’ll be out three days after ‘With Heaven On Top’ drops tomorrow. This was a painting hanging on the wall in the house that we recorded all the songs in when we got there,” Zach added referring to the image he shared.

In the picture was a man with sunglasses, a thick moustache and he appeared to be walking away with a thought bubble reading “acoustic” next to him.
