Joe Nichols vs. Jake Owen – The Showdown

Make it two in a row for Joe! Joe Nichols' new song 'Yeah' gathered more than enough fan support to top 'Rewind' by Rascal Flatts earlier this week. Fans had two days to decide which new single was better, and the overwhelming choice was 'Yeah.' This sets up a battle with the second single from Jake Owen's new album. 

The Florida-raised singer slows it down for 'Beachin',' a song that is sure to remind fans of his biggest hit, 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night.' It's a carefree love song as relaxing as the sand and the surf at sunset. Look for it on Owen's 'Days of Gold' album, and vote for it if you think it's better than 'Yeah.'

Listen to clips of both Nichols and Owen’s songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Monday 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 Monday.

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.
