The Zac Brown Band is ready to return to the top of the country music industry with a brand new album and tour dates. Earlier today the band announced that they would be releasing their next studio effort, Jekyll + Hyde on April 28th. The album has already been described as a new direction for the band and insane when it comes to their musical instrumentals.

Billboard reported that along with releasing a full new album, the band will be heading back out on the road. They will be starting a stadium tour on May 1st, only days after their album is available for purchase.

Rolling Stone recently acquired the track listing for the new album and it features a few surprise collaborations. The album will feature Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave and pop singer-songwriter sensation Sara Bareilles.

The Zac Brown Band will also be featured as the musical guests on this week's Saturday Night Live. This will mark their debut on the variety show.
