Zak Smith channels timeless country pain on “Good Old Fashioned Heartbreak”

Zak Smith's new single, “Good Old Fashioned Heartbreak,” is a song about the kind of heartbreak you can’t fake or forget, and it dives into the deep traditions of country and Americana. The song is inspired by the emotional power of legends like Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams and is a peek into love that is deep and lingers long after a goodbye. He also uses whiskey as a metaphor, comparing shallow affection to a love that burns and leaves a mark.
