I'm sure you've seen Chevy's latest ad campaign. They highlight the American midwest, a cowboy lifestyle built on hard work and dignity, something rarely seen in America lately. Behind the ad is the voice of Will Hoge. He has a strong sound and a sort of country/rock soul. Ever since the ad came out I needed to know who this guy was and what the name of the song was. "Strong" has earned Hoge notoriety lately, however it isn't his only hit. Hoge just released an album back on Oct. 15 - "Never Give In". The album is full of hits including this most popular track "Strong"and we highly recommend you check it out.<br />

The Outsiders Are Poised to Take Over Country Music</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/nPd1tOj0u6s?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
Country got a little more badass yesterday with the release of Eric Church's "The Outsiders" to iTunes. Ever since his rugged tracks from his Chief album hit it big, Church has been the poster-boy for rocking country music and "The Outsiders" solidifies this position on top. In his latest single, Church takes his signature bad boy attitude to the next level by mixing country music with elements of Tom Petty (listen to when he says "and the regulators born to regulate") and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (check out the bass solo towards the end of the tune). This makes for a crossover tune that shows musical maturity that bodes well for the future of Eric Church's recording and performance career.<br />
Above is a video Church released via Facebook last week that got the Church Choir faithful excited for some new content after more than two years of patient waiting. This new release does the job of satiating his fans' hunger for the time being but now the focus will turn to the expectation of a new album. We expect Church to really carve out his own niche in country music as the bad boy rocker with both his latest anthem and the upcoming album. Church already has a cult following in country-rock circles but if his upcoming is as impressive as Chief, we can expect to see Church headlining a major tour this upcoming summer. Church has all the tools to become entertainer of the year in the future, despite being a self-proclaimed country music "outsider". As you lay in wait for Church's new content, get jacked up by putting "The Outsiders" on repeat with the volume up as high as it can go.<br />
<br />

Every year in August, Shipyard Brewery of Portland, Maine releases a seasonal specialty brew - Pumpkinhead Ale. It's the perfect compliment to the change in season, as nothing goes better with falling leaves than this beer. It tastes like fall in a bottle, and is a New England favorite. It's quite simply delicious, and a must have throughout Autumn. To entice your taste buds even more, drink it out of glass that is garnished with a cinnamon and sugar rim. It's so different than just your typical Bud Light or Coors Light that you might be used to drinking regularly, and we can guarantee it'll definitely be one of your favorites for the fall season. Not to mention it goes very nicely with a bonfire and some country music.<br />
<br />

Back in mid-August Levi Riggs released his first full album, "I'm Good". He's been in the country game for awhile, releasing his first 2 EP's back to back in August of 2011 - "There's Still A Place For That" and "Hillbilly Superstar". However, both those EP's were preceded by 2 singles released back in the winter and summer of 2010 - "F-150" and "Tailgate Time". So as you can see he's no new-comer, and he's pretty damn good as a matter of fact. Riggs has performed with many of country's biggest names, including Jason Aldean and Jake Owen. He's one of country music's rising stars, and sounds very similar to Craig Morgan. If you haven't heard of this guy before, be sure to check him out, he's no joke and will be one of country music's household names in the near future.<br />

Moonshine has been immortalized by country music. It's mentioned by nearly every artist, and drew a lot of attention from Jake Owen's hit track "Apple Pie Moonshine". The elusive drink goes hand in hand with guitars and good times. It has been a notorious drink because of it's legality, however, over the past few years legal moonshine company's have begun popping up all over the United States, and they certainly don't lack quality and flavor. Ole Smoky is the first legal moonshine introduced to Tennessee. They offer a number of flavors from classics like Original and White Lightning to Apple Pie and Blackberry. If you haven't had the chance to enjoy Ole Smoky with country music, now's the perfect time to grab a jar of Apple Pie Moonshine and enjoy a brisk autumn night around the fire. Ole Smoky distills some of the smoothest alcohol you can drink... straight out of the jar. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Chase Rice has done it all with a history in college football, NASCAR, Survivor, and country music. This rising star of country has followed a formula that has taken off with popularity lately by meshing country themes and elements of pop and rap. Today, Rice released a six song Extended Play that has the country-pop crossover fans licking their chops. His sound is far from traditional but it has already taken off as the top selling album on iTunes this week and there is undoubtedly no looking back for this jack of all trades.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Chase Rice has had success with country pop songs in the past and this song certainly reflects that past success. With an intro fit for Will.I.Am and pop elements dominating the song's theme, Ready Set Roll seems destined for crossover success. Pop radio and Country radio will jump at the chance to play this song as it has a similar sound to Florida Georgia Line's Cruise Remix with rap star Nelly. Traditionalists will certainly not jump at this tune but the newest wave of country music fans will love this track.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Party Up featuring Colt Ford</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">With this tune, Chase Rice appeals to the established fans of Hick Hop by teaming up with its innovator Colt Ford. If there was any doubt as to whether Rice was appealing to young country fans with this EP, this song snuffs it out by singing about partying and loud music. Party Up certainly isn't going to hit it big with Cash fans but don't be surprised to hear this tune all over the tailgate scene in 2014.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Country In Ya</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Make no mistake about it, Country In Ya is a Hick Hop tune through and through. The introduction instrumental could be mistaken for a rapper's beat and Rice comes through with some polished pipes alongside some rapping that will have crossover fans excited. If there any question as to whether the latest country rap trend was going anywhere, Rice's Country In Ya answers with a resounding no.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Look At My Truck - <i>13 Bars Pick of The Album</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">With Look At My Truck, fans will get a glimpse at Rice's softer side through reminiscing lyrics and a soothing country verse. As Rice takes it to the chorus, we get back to the pop feel and the transition from verse to chorus is seamless. We love the feel of this song as it keeps its country integrity and feel all while appealing to a broader audience. Look for this song to have widespread radio success in the future.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Best Beers Of Our Lives</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This country-pop crossover tune will be dominating the barbecue and tailgate scene in 2014 for the younger crowd. With lyrics referencing booze, partying, girls and the "best beers of our lives", this tune has all of the requisites required of a popular contemporary crossover party song and we have no doubt that it will reach great success.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">How She Rolls</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Fans of Chase Rice have heard this tune before as it has been released as a single previously. This tune is more of a marrying of country and rock and it is the kind of song that will have you cranking up the volume in your car or truck. If you've been a fan of Chase Rice's early work, this song keeps with his earlier style of country rock and it will be a welcomed revisit for most.</span></div>

Moore's Southern Love Makes for a Killer Tune</h3>

Justin Moore has always been one of country's good ole boys singing songs about fishing, the backwoods and kicking some ass. But with "Lettin' the Night Roll", Moore slows it down a little bit, citing a rise in female attendance at his shows as the rationale. Moore has been making the ladies swoon of late with tunes such as "Til My Last Day" and "Point at You" making for big releases in the female demographic. It's hard not to love Moore because he sticks to his guns and consistently puts out traditional country songs and still sees mainstream success. While he does have some contemporary country songs on his latest album "Off The Beaten Path", he has released songs with his signature pure country twang thus far. It will be interesting to see which way Justin goes from here and whether he maintains his pure country persona or starts to lean more towards the likes of Luke Bryan. Either way the product will be polished and radio ready as it always is for Moore but in the meantime we'd rather cut the speculation and enjoy some good music from a great country artist. Check out Moore take on the cut below and be sure to check it out on iTunes <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/off-beaten-path-deluxe-edition/id687391150" target="_blank">Here</a></div>

Rodney Atkins is certainly not a stranger to country music success with songs like, "These Are My People", "Watching You" and "Take A Back Road" having hit it big on country radio. Fortunately for Atkins, his latest single "Doin' It Right" has a similar ring to it as all of his previous hits with the same small town charm. "Doin It Right" is a really uplifting tune that outlines the goodness within us all and that is undoubtedly an idea we can all get behind. The songwriter, Jay Knowles, has written songs for some of country music's best including Alan Jackson and George Straight. This time around Knowles hooked up with Atkins who seems to be the perfect singer for this number and its makes for a surefire hit. Atkins is also enlisting the help of his fans in the making of the lyric video for this song. Check out the specifics in the video below.</div>

Fireball Whisky has become a highly sought out compliment to country music over the past year. Ever since a shout out by Florida Georgia Line in the hit track "Round Here", the demand seems to have soared off the charts. Its a smooth cinnamon flavored Canadian whisky that tastes similarly to the candy Red Hot Fireballs. It's rich flavor goes down extremely easy, and it is easily drank neat. However, if you prefer not to drink it straight, our favorite drink is a "Twisted Balls": 1 part Fireball, 5 parts Twisted Tea, 1 lemon wedge. Simply pour the ingredients over ice and enjoy. It goes well when you're rocking to country music giving you the sweet cinnamon taste as well as the sweet tea flavor - with a bit of a kick. Head down to your local watering hole or package store and pick up some Fireball Whisky, it "tastes like heaven, burns like hell".</div>

Brinley Addington is another talent that seems to have just slipped through the cracks and is yet to reach the stardom that he deserves. He's got a great sound, similar to Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton, and much like those artists, Addington has tracks that range from a fun loving party attitude, to a melancholy love story. He certainly does not lack the talent that a country star needs, as he's even performed with the likes of arguably country's hottest band: Florida Georgia Line. Addington just released a single back in mid August "Better On a Boat", and we definitely suggest that you check out that track as well all of Brinley Addington's music. Look for this guy to be a name in mainstream country music in the near future.</div>

One Night Rodeo has been around for years, but gained most of their notoriety when they won the 2008 Great American Country Star Competition. The duo can rock, and remind us of Montgomery Gentry with their style, lyrics, and attitude. If you haven't gotten the chance to listen to these guys before, we highly suggest you check them out. They may not have reached country stardom yet, but who knows what the future holds. We believe it looks good for One Night Rodeo.</div>

Jake McVey is no new comer to country music, but he is new to us. His debut album was released way back in 2006, titled "Unknown Highway". We are always interested in discovering talent that's slipped through cracks, much like McVey. He has a rich sound much like Alan Jackson or Garth Brooks, which you can hear in the song "Anything Is Possible" that is posted above. If you've missed out on McVey but enjoy a rich country sound much like we do, be sure to check him out.<br />

<div>
<b>1. That's My Kinda Night - Luke Bryan</b></div>
<div>
Luke Bryan's country pop crossover tune That's My Kinda Night is atop the iTunes single chart again this week and it likely will stay there for a while. Luke Bryan's popularity amongst both country fans and pop aficionados is matched only by Taylor Swift. But right now Luke Bryan is all the rage with his latest album Crash My Party controlling the country pop scene.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. It Goes Like This - Thomas Rhett</b></div>
<div>
It Goes Like this is Thomas Rhett's first real smash single after his last single Something To Do With My Hands propelled him into the limelight. As an opening act for Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert and Jake Owen this past summer, Rhett has gotten looks from tons of country music fans and this song's popularity is proof that they liked what they heard.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>3. Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran</b></div>
<div>
Taylor Swift's country pop crossover success is undeniable and it has made her one of of music's most recognizable faces. For this tune Taylor teamed up with her RED tour companion Ed Sheeran and it has been incredibly popular in both pop and country circles.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>4. Mine Would Be You - Blake Shelton</b></div>
<div>
Fresh off of the success of his catchy tune Boys Round Here, Blake Shelton released this sweet tune about Blake's perfect girl (wife Miranda Lambert). This tune has climbed the country charts for months now and for good reason, its an undeniably well polished song.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>5. Night Train - Jason Aldean</b></div>
<div>
This mid tempo Aldean hit single is the title track to his latest album and stadium tour all of which have had tremendous success. This song along with Aldean's talent and experience have some people buzzing as to whether his tour will be the biggest country tour of 2014 in Kenny Chesney's leave of absence from stadium performances.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>6. Wasting All These Tears - Cassadee Pope</b></div>
<div>
Cassadee Pope, winner of NBC's The Voice, has ridden her success in the show to crack the top 10 iTunes singles. Her new album, Frame by Frame is due out tomorrow and if this single's popularity is any indication, her freshman album will be an overwhelming success.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>7. Whatever She's Got - David Nail</b></div>
<div>
David Nail has been popular in country music ever since his 2007 single I'm About to Come Alive hit it big. His biggest hit "Let it Rain" reached number one on the US Country charts and his latest single looks like it might rival that success.</div>

<b>8. Drunk Last Night - Eli Young Band</b><br />
While touring with Kenny Chesney and Eric Church this summer, Eli Young Band released this song that has spread around country music like wildfire. Drunk Last Night may not rival the success of Even If It Breaks Your Heart yet, but we certainly think it has the potential to reach that level of notoriety.</div>

<div>
<b>9. We Were Us - Keith Urban & Miranda Lambert</b></div>
<div>
This tune off of Keith Urban's album Fuse is a powerful duet by two of country music's biggest names. We Were Us was the second single released off of Keith Urban's latest album and it has yet to reach the peek of its popularity so expect to hear this one on country radio for a while to come.</div>

<div>
<b>10. Hey Girl - Billy Currington</b><br />
Billy Currington's latest album We Are Tonight has had a lot of success over the past few weeks thanks in large part to the success of the first single Hey Girl. It has been up on the iTunes top ten charts for a while now but it looks like its about to lose its spot to some of the more recent releases.</div>

You may have never heard of this band before, and for that, you're missing out. Ashton Lane is a country band from Scotland - yes we know, that's a little different and may turn you away. However, country music is not limited to one city, one state, one country, it's clear that it's expanded everywhere, and don't count these guys out because of their origins. The band has a very similar sound to Lady Antebellum or The Band Perry, and that is no joke. Earlier this year, back in March, they released the country single "Like A Whisper", and I'm regretful that it took us this long to discover it, because it's a great song. The band teamed up with aspiring lyricist Jacqueline Tessier Platt. Ashton Lane actually has a very unique and interesting concept - "Bespoken Songs". They allow anyone who has lyrics or even an idea for a song to reach out to them and try to work in unison to produce a track, which is how Jacqueline reached them. Together, Ashton Lane and Jacqueline co-wrote the single, as well as another one titled "I Can Breathe You In". Jacqueline is an amazing lyricist who's an acclaimed and awarded poet, but has a true passion for music. She's trying to break into the country music scene, which we believe won't be hard for her after the great work she did with Ashton Lane. The song has a soft melody, and touching, soft lyrics that could be traced back to Jacqueline's background in poetry. Ashton Lane has a great acoustic sound, and you can hear there pop background in their music, which works extremely well for them. They have a great sound, and a truly amazing single in "Like A Whisper" that you need to check out.

What Country Fans Are Drinking</h3>
<div>
Nothing goes with good country music like cold cans, just ask Dierks Bentley. Alcohol has been a part of country, but not in a destructive way. Country is all about living the lifestyle and enjoying every second of it, and a cold beer or shot of whiskey can help.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Beer</h3>
<div>
Obviously country fans are drinking beer, nearly every artist has a song where they mention such.</div>

Cheap, all American glory. Fills you up like a thanksgiving dinner, beats you up like champion boxer. If it's good enough for Clint Eastwood, it's good enough for me. Grab a 6 pack for America. Also Zac Brown likes to kick back in the Georgia mud with a PBR in his hand.</div>

If you're just out of work on a friday night, this is the first song you should be playing on the ride home. When it comes times to start tipping a few back, Toby Keith is the guy you want coming through your speakers. Be it American anthems or just songs about getting tanked, Toby Keith always knows how to kick it into party mode. In this party jam Keith sings about getting high in the morning and his need to hit the bar to get a few drinks in him. Be sure to throw this on your party playlist for this weekend and you'll thank us when it comes on after you've drowned your workweek sorrow with a few cold ones.</div>

Young country crossover singer Rachel Farley recently released her single "Midnight Road" and it sounds like a pleasant mix of Kelly Clarkson's voice and Miranda Lambert's attitude. Farley sings about "burning down a black top" and " flying through a red stop" and the whole song's experience is reminiscent of Miranda Lambert's early work. Farley's incredible vocals over some screaming guitars makes for some serious radio potential for this young artist's second single under Red Bow Records. Farley's first single, "Ain't Easy", could easily be mistaken for a Miranda Lambert tune and if Lambert's success is any indication, Farley is in for a long lucrative career as country's next bad girl.</div>

<div>
Most of us first heard of Tyler Farr when his debut single "Redneck Crazy" made a huge splash on country radio. The gruff sounding country newcomer rode the success of his hit single with an album under the same name. Redneck Crazy is a fun album with a solid amount of variety that will likely provide Farr with three or more singles. If you're into rugged country voices and upbeat modern country, you'll undoubtedly fall in love with this album. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Song By Song Breakdown</h4>
<div>
<b>Dirty</b></div>
<div>
The kickoff song to Farr's album, Dirty is rich with country imagery and fun lyrics that will have you singing along before you know it. The chorus is a fun take on a country girl loving a country boy and its sure to see success if it is released as a single.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Makes You Wanna Drink</b></div>
<div>
This song is a southern country summer party in lyrical form with mentions of warm weather, girls in daisy dukes, flip flops, and a case of America's favorite cheap bear: Busch Light. If Farr releases this one as a single next spring, expect to hear it every time you turn on country radio because it has hit summer single written all over it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Redneck Crazy</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're reading this blog, you've no doubt heard this seemingly omnipresent country tune about a cheating girl breaking the wrong heart. Country radio has fallen in love with Redneck Crazy since its release in February which has been a huge component of the overwhelming success of the album. The music video certainly doesn't lack star power as it features famed country artists Lee Brice and Colt Ford and Duck Dynasty frontman Willie Robertson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Whiskey In My Water</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This mid-tempo jam has some serious radio potential with one of the smoothest chorus's on the album. With mentions of Whiskey, moonshine and beautiful girls, this tune is destined for mainstream success in country music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Hot Mess</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another in a line of songs that seems perfect for radio release, Hot Mess tells the story of a girl with a bit of wild side that has Farr's "Heart beating out of [his] chest". Am upbeat tale about pretty girls rarely flops in country music and Hot Mess will most certainly not be the exception to that rule.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Hello Goodbye</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello Goodbye is the first real pace change of the album and its focus on Farr's vocals make it a great addition to the album. In this one we don't get the normal rugged quality of Farr's voice, instead we get a soothing high register vocal performance that is reminiscent of country megastar Vince Gill. Pretty good company if you ask us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Ain't Even Drinkin'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The downtempo feel of Hello Goodbye is fleeting as Farr follows it up with Ain't Even Drinkin' which gives us an upbeat country pop feel. Ain't Even Drinkin' is another catchy tune by Farr that makes for another possible entry into country music radio that could climb the charts as quickly as Redneck Crazy</div>

<b>Wish I Had A Boat</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tyler Farr's whimsical tune Wish I Had A Boat is a summer tune that'll be heard in many a parking lot party in 2014. This tailgate tune about dreams of floating on a lake has everything that makes a good drunk singalong before a concert. If things go the way we see them going, people will be listening to this tune as they party before seeing Farr as the opening act for a big name star.</div>

<b>Chicks, Trucks and Beer (featuring Colt Ford) </b><i>- 13 Bars Pick of the Album</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Following up one country party tune with another, Farr's Chicks Trucks and Beer features country rap legend Colt Ford. This song is a surefire staple on the party playlist of young country fans and you can expect to hear it turned up to 11 during summer 2014 tailgates and BBQ's. Simply put, Chicks Trucks and Beer is summer fun in lyrical form.</div>

<b>Cowgirl</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With Cowgirl, Farr gets back to more traditional country and shows that he's a versatile artists capable of upbeat country pop and traditional true country music. We like what we hear out of Cowgirl and if Farr is looking for a release that will give him a stronger traditional country base, expect to hear this tune.</div>

<b>Living With The Blues</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keeping with the traditional country theme, Living With The Blues is a slow acoustic number that reminds us of Jamey Johnson's sound. This is no small compliment given that Johnson is one of country music's most respected artists because of his simple artistry and intoxicatingly emotional lyrics. While we don't expect this one to be a single release, Living With The Blues is perhaps the most lyrically stirring tunes on the album</div>

Country Music Sees Rise in Reefer References</h3>
<div>
<br />
In modern country music beer and tobacco are ever-present but increasingly we're hearing country stars mention marijuana in their songs. Years ago, mention of marijuana would likely have been unpopular (Unless its coming from Willie Nelson) in country music but nowadays we're seeing country singers identify with a younger generation of fans by singing about weed. Here are a few jams that sing about marijuana in all of its emerald glory.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This live version of the Eric Church ode to marijuana talks about having grass be a remedy for a broken heart. Church is no stranger to singing about weed as his songs "These Boots" and "Smoke A Little Smoke" both make mention of stashing marijuana and of course, smoking it.</div>

This comedic tune from Toby Keith warns the listener not to smoke weed with country great Willie Nelson because he'll leave you dazed and confused. Let this song be a warning, although it may sound like smoking with Willie Nelson would be a good time, if Toby Keith can't handle it, you can't either.

In keeping with our Canadian theme today, we're reviewing Warner Music Canada's Brett Kissel on his new single "Started With A Song". If you follow Kissel on Twitter you know he's a hard worker when it comes to promoting his music, and this song shows that he also puts a tremendous amount of care into his tunes. "Started With A Song" sounds like it's product of a modern Nashville native with a fiddle, banjo and electric guitar providing the instrumental and Kissel's vocal giving this song some serious radio potential. We look forward to seeing where Kissel goes from here because we see a serious future for him in American country music.</div>
