Zach Bryan removed one of the tracks from his latest blockbuster album The Great American Bar Spoce, which he filmed on social media after his track collaborator, singer-singer-singer-lyricist John Moreland. Although Bryan promised the song would return on Instagram, the track "Memphis; Blues" that is now absent from the streaming service or grey on the streaming service is not now part of the streaming service - presumably Minus Moreland's contribution to the sound of the songs they co-wrote.
Beef started when Moreland brought to Instagram and posted an image of his head tattoo, accompanied by “$350 million for $350 million for $350 million for my fu – In off-nrow-off-nif-nif-nif-nif-new of me of me. Moreland’s information refers to a digital report made up of $350 million for $350 million. type Earlier this week, Bryan signed a contract with Warner Records and sold the combined value of its publishing catalog.
Although Moreland quickly deleted the information, it caught Bryan's attention, who shared screenshots of his attack on him in a pair of Instagram story posts. Bryan captioned Moreland's wide edge in his answer: "Yo just saw this from an artist I've always respected and supported. Not to dramatize, but to reject the person who has me in question on my record. Replace "Memphis Blues". If you kind of don't know that's why!
In a subsequent post, Bryan once again said with Moreland's insulted screenshots: "The last thing I said above! It's not necessarily arguing with an adult man with a butt injury."
Indeed, by Friday, the tracks had disappeared from the streaming version of the album, such as services like Spotify and Tidal. But Bryan clarified that he wasn't trying to remove all traces of the song, just any version of it, including Moreland's voice. In another message, he wrote: "By the way!! Everything is good! Everything is good."
As the song’s co-author, if Bryan replaces the Axe’s track with a solo version or other vocal companions, then Moreland will still receive royalties from “Memphis; Blues.”
Moreland's attack on Bryan is surprising because the two are considered friends, or at least friendly enough to put some money in Moreland's pocket on one of Moreland's albums after releasing a first album in 2024. Indeed, some followers believe that moreland believes that the initial outbreak of Moreland may be Pals in Bryan's response, which is not clear, and that's not the case. It's not surprising considering that this is not the first time Moreland has (a respected figure in the American world).
Last year, Moreland released a bar battle with musician Kyle Nix, which he described as "the violinist of the toll road Troubadours." Moreland wrote: “If he pulls you out of the bar stool and starts kicking you in the head a few times… don’t worry because he’s four feet tall and feels like a third-year third, then you can get up and you can get up and start crying on his face, and it’s all good. Moreland also wrote: “Honestly, the whole band…’Cept Hank (early, the steel player at Turnpike Troubadours). ”
So far, other specialty guests in the "Big American Bar" scene including Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer have avoided opening beef with Bryan.
