Country star once again pays tribute to “Boys of Faith” collaborator on social media
Zach Bryan once again paid tribute to one of his favorite artists (and recent collaborators), Bon Iver, by posting a cover of “For Emma” on social media.
Just hours after dropping the Matthew McConaughey-starring video for the new song “Nine Ball,” Bryan uploaded his stripped-down take on the 2007 track for no reason other than being a big Bon Iver fan.
Going back to at least 2016, Bryan has routinely praised the artist born Justin Vernon, with the Grammy-winning country singer first posting an acoustic rendition of “Skinny Love.”
The following year, the not-yet-famous Bryan twice tweeted his love of Bon Iver, noting that “Heavenly Father by Bon Iver has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever made” and then “The guitar at the beginning of Towers by Bon Iver is simple and perfect and I wish I’d of come up with it.”
After over a half-decade of singing his praises, Bryan finally teamed up with Bon Iver in September 2023 for “Boys of Faith,” the title track off of Bryan’s then-new EP.
