Pistol Annies vs. Dustin Lynch – The Showdown

Country newcomer Dustin Lynch will be the next single male to take on all-female trio Pistol Annies during the Showdown song battle. 'Hush Hush' topped Joel Crouse's debut single 'If You Want Some' over the weekend, winning 58 percent of the vote. Lynch already has a few hits under his belt, and his third single is a fan-favorite. 

'Wild in Your Smile' is an uptempo, country roads love song that finds the singer showing off his impressive vocals over a pure country beat. With 'Hush Hush,' the Pistol Annies continue to take their sound in a new direction. A win over Lynch's single would be the second for the ladies -- five straight are needed to get to the Showdown Hall of Fame.
