Zach Bryan Intensifies Feud with John Moreland

In a surprising turn of events, Zach Bryan has escalated his ongoing feud with former collaborator John Moreland by removing their song “Memphis; The Blues” from streaming platforms. Bryan has indicated that a new version of the track will be released soon.

Background of the Dispute

The removal of the song occurred on Friday, as reported by Variety. The tension appears to have been sparked by Moreland’s comments questioning Bryan’s recent $350 million deal after he sold his publishing catalog and signed a new agreement with Warner Records. Moreland took to Instagram, stating, “$350 M is a lot of money to pay for the fuckin off-brand version of me, y’all have a great day.”

Industry Impact

Bryan is currently one of the most prominent stars in the country music scene, having made significant waves by partnering with Los Angeles-based Warner Records instead of a traditional Nashville label. Moreland, on the other hand, has maintained a steady career since his debut album, Endless October Sky, in 2008. Notably, “Memphis; The Blues” was his most-streamed song prior to its removal. Bryan expressed his respect for Moreland on Instagram, sharing a screenshot of Moreland’s post.

Communication Breakdown

Representatives for both Moreland and Bryan have yet to respond to requests for comment.

Statements from Zach Bryan

Bryan stated, “Not trying to be dramatic but refuse to have anyone with a problem with me on my records. Replacing Memphis the Blues. If it goes down for a bit just know this is the reason. No hard feelings! Confused as shit, Tulsans look out for Tulsans!”

The Streaming Era’s Flexibility

While removing a feature from an album isn’t common, it highlights the fluidity of music in the streaming era, where artists can modify their work more easily than in the past. As of now, “Memphis; The Blues” remains unavailable on streaming services. Moreland responded via a video on his Instagram story, recalling how Bryan had invited him to collaborate on The Great American Bar Scene. He candidly stated, “I don’t like this motherfucker.”

Moreland’s Concerns

Moreland further expressed, “If I was asked to be on the album today, I wouldn’t do it. I don’t want to be on an album with a dude who is a dickhead to my wife and friends right in front of me every time I see him.”

Allegations and Personal Views

He also alleged that he heard Bryan make “borderline racist jokes more than once” and claimed that Bryan once brought a “19-year-old girl in a bar,” expecting Moreland to support him when she was told she couldn’t be there.

“I don’t like that person, that’s who thinks I’m an asshole? Fine,” Moreland concluded. “As far as I’m concerned, getting kicked off a Zach Bryan album is way fucking cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album.”
