Josh Turner's new single 'Lay Low' came from behind to top Eric Church's 'Talladega' during an early week Showdown. The song battle was close to the end, but Turner's fans stepped up overnight to make sure their song moved on to face a new challenger on Wednesday and Thursday.

Carrie Underwood will no doubt pose a bigger threat. Her new song 'Something in the Water' made big news earlier this week. It's a faith-based country tune that Turner's fans may appreciate. One finds the Oklahoma-born 'American Idol' winner delivering her strongest vocal performance.

Listen to clips of both Turner and Underwood’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.
