"Zach Bryan and Kings of Leon are "in it for the long haul" on their new single "Bowery."" - GRAMMY.com

"...a striking blend of two distinct but complementary voices in modern roots music." - Holler.

""Bowery" is scratching my brain in all the right ways. Turn it up." - Whiskey Riff

"Bowery pairs the Oklahoma artist's gritty, storytelling vocals with Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill's husky drawl." - Stereoboard

The release of "Bowery" comes off the heels of Kings of Leon's recent run of sold-out shows with Zach Bryan at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, marking the band's first live performances since canceling a portion of their European dates following Caleb's heel injury.
