The Showdown starts with a clean slate today, as Easton Corbin's 'Baby Be My Love Song' enters the Hall of Fame after winning its fifth straight victory. Now Gretchen Wilson is set to square off against J. Michael Harter.

Wilson's new single is a live version of 'Chariot,' from her new live album 'STILL Here for the Party,' which celebrates the tenth anniversary of her landmark debut. The track features the singer's daughter, Grace, in the middle section rap and on backing vocals.

J. Michael Harter is a newcomer as a solo act, but he's familiar to country fans from his days with the sibling act the Harters. He brings the party with his debut solo single, 'Holy Cowgirl,' which features heavy guitars and a fun, light-hearted and danceable vibe.

Listen to clips of both Wilson and Harter’s songs, and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Friday at 8AM ET, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. The winner of this matchup will face a new challenger on Friday.

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. If a song wins five Showdowns 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.
