Zach Bryan and John Moreland are in some ways birds of a feather: two rugged roots-rock singer-songwriters from Tulsa, OK who’ve built up sturdy (in Bryan’s case, lucrative) careers operating at the outskirts of the Nashville country mainstream. The two men joined forces last year on “Memphis: The Blues” from Bryan’s album The Great American Bar Scene, putting Moreland under a bright spotlight alongside superstar guests like Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer. But now the bromance has fallen apart. To hear Moreland tell it, there never was a bromance.
