Big and Rich vs. Kix Brooks – The Showdown

Thompson Square have earned their plaque at the Showdown Hall of Fame. The duo knocked off a fifth straight challenger on Wednesday, meaning today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, two new singles will square off. It's a battle of two loud and rowdy country jams. 

Big and Rich have released the second single from their latest album. 'Party Like Cowboyz' is the type of song you buy a concert ticket to hear. It's an in-your-face  rock-country jam, one similar to so many of the duo's best songs. Kix Brooks does more than just keep up with his own story of rebellion. 'Moonshine Road' tells the story of what happens at sundown out near the swamps in deep Louisiana.

Listen to clips of both Big and Rich's and Brooks' songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour online, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. Hear the full versions of the songs tonight after 10PM on Taste of Country Nights. Help your favorite song win by placing additional votes at (888) 678-9995. Call as many times as you like!

Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour online, and as much as you want by calling (888) 678-9995. If a song wins five days in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.
