The Showdown: Reba McEntire vs. Chris Stapleton

Reba McEntire has pulled off another victory with her latest single and will now face a new challenge from Chris Stapleton in another round of the Showdown.

McEntire's latest, "Going Out Like That," is the lead single from Love Somebody, her upcoming first album under a new deal with Nash Icon. The label is a partnership between Big Machine and Cumulus designed to bring classic country stars back into the marketplace, and McEntire has delivered a pretty contemporary track that can compete at country radio.

Stapleton is one of the most respected singer-songwriters currently working in Nashville. He's written songs for George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and more and scored five No. 1 hits, including Luke Bryan's "Drink a Beer." He's stepping out on his own with the release of his debut solo album, Traveller, in May, and he's released the title song as the lead single. "Traveller" is a slice of pure country goodness, based around simple chords, pedal steel and Stapleton's soulful country vocal delivery.
