As part of the popular ongoing Apple Music campaign Nashville Sessions EP series, Billy Strings And Pocket Top are the latest music stars to team up to record three traditional country collaborations. On Friday (November 1), Zach and Billy shared their duets of “Bad Luck,” “Things to Do” and “Don’t Cheat in Our Hometown,” which are featured on the duo’s new Nashville Sessions EP. ‘Bad Luck’ is a cover of Ricky Skaggs‘ Classic from 1983, while the original versions of ‘Things to Do’ and ‘Don’t Cheat in Our Hometown’ were both on Zach’s debut album from April 2024, Cold beer and country music. The sparse arrangements of Zach and Billy’s new collaborations spotlight the pair’s rich, resonant vocals and deft guitar playing, with the minimalist production ultimately allowing the power of the songwriting to shine through.
