The Showdown: Steven Tyler vs. Billy Currington

All country fans need is "Red, White & You." At least, that's the consensus of Showdown voters, who gave Steven Tyler's second solo country single a big win over Dierks Bentley in the Showdown. Tyler now moves on to face a challenge from Billy Currington.

"Red, White & You" is a big change of pace from the Aerosmith singer's county debut, "Love Is Your Name." While that track was premised in acoustic Americana influences, "Red, White & You" is an up-tempo slice of pure commercial radio country, and fans have responded to the easy-to-like track with overwhelming support so far.

Currington's newest single from Summer Forever is "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To," which marries a typically strong Currington vocal performance with a big melodic hook for a very contemporary take on a country breakup song. Both songs grab the listener instantly, but only one of them can move on to another Showdown round.
