The List for Tuesday, January 2nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

With two wildly successful projects already under his belt for 2023, Zac Bryan took to X to share that a new album is in fact on the horizon! The Okie, who loves to chat with fans on the platform, responded to one fan with some BIG NEWS! “It’s about half done, so depending on the writing side who knows, God willing as soon as possible.” Zach also took to Instagram to share snippets of not one, but two new tracks. The first, he teased a while ago, called Great American Bar Scene, and confirmed it was his favorite off the upcoming project. The second, also features fellow Okie John Moreland and is titled Memphis, The Blues.  While little else is known about the project, you better set your social media alerts because you never know when Zac Bryan may strike.

Zac Brown and his new wife, Kelly Yazdi, are calling it quits after just four months of marriage.

Brown and Yazdi have always kept their relationship out of the public eye, and it’s unclear how the two initially met. Many began to wonder what the status of their relationship was when Yazdi was spotted in a few photos and videos with a ring on her left finger. Eventually, she added Brown’s name to her social media handle.

The couple, who wed in a secret ceremony in August, is now very public about   D-I-V-O-R-C-E They’ve released a joint statement confirming their divorce. And She’s removed his last name from her socials so….it’s official….

And finally sad news on this new year, one of the founding members of the Dixie Chicks Laura Lynch was killed in a car accident you may have already heard involving a truck on Highway 62 near El Paso Texas. Now, criminal charges could be coming for the driver who was driving the truck involved in the crash. Authorities confirmed the driver had their blood drawn at the hospital,  but will wait to release the results until the subpoena. If these tests prove drugs or alcohol were involved, charges are likely to be filed. If the severe charges don’t apply, the driver could still face charges for reckless driving and unsafe lane changes due to witness statements. The investigation is still ongoing, though. She is survived by her husband Mac Tull and their daughter. She was 65.
