Van Zant - Goes Down Easy and Help Somebody

Van Zant's latest single is called Goes Down Easy, and it's a great song. I hope it does well. Their best performing song so far was 2005's Help Somebody, which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. Enjoy both videos!

Hank Williams, Jr. Featuring Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and Van Zant - That's How They Do It In Dixie

Last year, Hank Williams, Jr. hooked up with Van Zant, Gretchen Wilson and Big & Rich for this song, That's How They Do It In Dixie. It's a really good song and a great video, but it didn't do very well on the charts only hitting #36 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. But, it doesn't matter to me where it charted, I like the song and the video. Enjoy!
