Zac Brown Band - Island Song W
This catchy tune will have all listeners wishing they were wading in the crystal blue waters of some far-off destination. The three-time Grammy winners team up with island music aficionado Jimmy Buffett for an unlikely yet wildly successful collaboration. The song topped the U.S. Country chart and led all fans to aspire for a state of relaxation where their only worry is if the tide will reach their beach chair.
Zac Brown Band - Island Song W
Country fans must have a secret love for the islands because all these artists continue releasing these types of songs and they always shoot to the top of the chart. I think it has a lot to do with the melodies of the songs, but I think we all feel like heading to the islands to live the laid back life.
This song is a departure from Zac Brown's more common country sound but don't that mislead you. This song uses a simple melody and chill lyrics to evoke the laid-back island living many of us fantasize about.
While there is a small Caribbean resort named Kokomo, music producer Terry Melcher claims the song title was made up and intended to capture all the ideas people have about tropical islands and escaping to paradise.
Most well-known as the frontman for Van Halen, Sammy Hagar released a solo album, Sammy Hagar & Friends, in 2013, which featured many other musicians. For this tropical island song, Hagar sang alongside Heart's Nancy Wilson.
Most island imagery uses the location as a destination we should long for, but in this 2014 hit, La Roux's Elly Jackson has a different idea. Jackson is already on a tropical island in this song, but she finds that the palm trees aren't much fun since she had to leave her lover behind to get there.
Regardless of your favorite Elvis track, you'll enjoy this tropical lullaby. In this song, Elvis sings about the sun wishing a sweet aloha to Hawaii as the islands fall asleep and await tomorrow's sunrise.

Zac Brown Band are arguably the only group in the contemporary commercial country music marketplace who could pull off a song like "Day for the Dead." Produced by Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, the multi-faceted track shows off the ensemble instrumental prowess of the band, as well as their vocal chops and the obvious skill and passion that drives their music.
This feel-good track was the perfect summer single for 2009. Written by Brown, Durrette, John Driskell Hopkins and "Lullaby" singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins, the breezy island feel is reminiscent of a great Jimmy Buffett song. The track reached No. 1 at country radio, but not without changing the line, "Got my toes in the water, a-- in the sand," to "toes in the sand," as well as omitting a later line that contained the phrase "roll a big fat one" -- edits Brown was adamantly against.
