About this listen

During a visit with Rob + Holly, Zach Top talked touring and remembering lyrics, those never-going-away rumors that Alan Jackson is his father, and his 2024 hit, "Sounds Like the Radio."

"It's just a goofy fun song that, you know, makes you want to tap your foot, and two-step a little bit or something," Top admits. "You need those. You need the deep stories, the songs that mean something and all that, but that one's just a fun goofy one."

"It's loosely autobiographically based or something, I guess, just in the fact that I grew up on Country music," he laughs. "I don't know. I wasn't born in '94, I was born in '97."

Top's date of birth is clear, but his lineage is a little more up-for-debate, as the internet continues to speculate that Alan Jackson is his father. "It's more than a rumor. Hell, I've been trying to figure out what the answer is," he jokes. "My parents won't answer me straight. Nobody will."

"I think the only way I'm gonna get you a straight answer is in Fort Worth when I finally meet him, when we do that first show here in a few weeks, I'm just gonna go up and say, 'Hi Daddy, I missed you.' And we'll see how he reacts and I'll know whether it's true or not."
