Bryan said he’d rerelease the song “Memphis; The Blues” without Moreland after the singer questioned Bryan’s $350 million payday for selling his publishing catalog and signing a new record deal.
Zach Bryan escalated his feud with one-time collaborator John Moreland, removing their Great American Bar Scene song “Memphis; The Blues” off his album on streaming services while assuring he’d be releasing a new version soon.
Bryan appeared to have removed the song on Friday. As Variety noted, Moreland seemed to fire first, questioning Bryan’s $350 million payday after the country star sold his publishing catalog and signed a new deal with his record label Warner Records last week. “$350 M is a lot of money to pay for the fuckin off-brand version of me, y’all have a great day,” Moreland wrote on his Instagram last week.
