February 26, 2013 Tim McGraw's new single 'Highway Don't Care' is enjoying a two-day win streak on the Taste of Country Showdown. On Monday, the song battle with Jon Pardi's 'Up All Night' went late into Taste of Country Nights radio time, but phone votes sealed the win for the trio of superstars. Today McGraw, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban will take on newcomer Kristen Kelly.
February 25, 2013 While Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift's vocals on 'Highway Don't Care' would be enough to make the song a hit and one of the best of 2013, it's Keith Urban's guitar that makes the track one of the best collaborations of the decade -- maybe even ever. Each artist brings his or her best effort to the song from McGraw's 'Two Lanes of Freedom' album. It's a sterling example of what can happen when artists are left to be artists, without the handcuffs of music business politics.

February 22, 2013 Last night, Billy Dean fans were behind one of the biggest Showdown upsets of all time. The singer's new song 'I Can't Leave a Good Thing' took down '1994' by Jason Aldean on the strength of phone votes at Taste of Country Nights radio. Can Dean knock off another superstar -- make that three superstars -- on Friday night ?
