Zac Brown & Jimmy Buffett's 'Knee Deep' Tops the Charts
'Knee Deep' has taken up residence in the country chart's penthouse this week, marking the Zac Brown Band's eighth No. 1 single. It also marks the second No. 1 country single for Jimmy Buffett, who's featured on the track and tops the charts for the first time since his 2003 collaboration with Alan Jackson, 'It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.'
"We all know summer is a time for beach relaxation and leisure reading. However, for the rest of us, summer is the chance to accurately calculate just how many beers it takes to jump from the roof to the backyard pool," the ZBB guys joke about the inspiration behind 'Knee Deep.'

For some reason it just stuck out to me that day and I ended up writing a song called ‘Dixie Highway.’ It’s pretty cool.
