Jon Pardi tosses a pinch of Bakersfield sound into his brand of country music. It came through more clearly on his debut single 'Missin' You Crazy,' but the follow-up, 'Up All Night,' still relies on a heavy guitar lick and Pardi's Dwight Yoakam-influenced singing style.
We have a new Showdown champion! Jon Pardi's 'Up All Night' took down two-night champion Zac Brown Band yesterday and last night on Taste of Country Nights radio. The midtempo love song got an early jump on 'Jump Right In' and phone voters solidified the win. Today, the newcomer will face another country veteran, with another love song.
Fans of the Zac Brown Band are standing up for 'Jump Right In,' the new single from 'Uncaged.' Last night the song ousted Katie Armiger's latest on the Showdown, making two wins in a row for the Georgia group. Today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, the new track will face off against the latest from Jon Pardi.
The superstar trio of Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban was too much for Billy Dean fans to overcome on Friday and Friday night on Taste of Country Nights radio. 'Highway Don't Care' displaced the legend's latest single as Showdown champion. Tonight, fans of the song from McGraw's new album will square off against fans of a country newcomer.
Score one win for Jerrod Niemann's new single 'Only God Could Love You More.' The emotional ballad bested the new cut from Montgomery Gentry yesterday and last night on Taste of Country Nights radio. Another win on Halloween would be better than a full sized candy bar in your trick or treat bucket.
As the year winds town, country artists are scrambling to get in some last-minute face-to-face time with their fans on fall tours. Next up is the Tie One on Tour starring Frankie Ballard, Jon Pardi and Miss Willie Brown.
With a name like Jon Pardi, you know you're in for a good time. And the 27-year-old from Northern California lives up to his name with his music and attitude. Pardi has already been winning country music fans over with his debut Top 40 hit, 'Missin' You Crazy,' which he co-wrote with Bart Butler and Monty Holmes. The tune is the first release from the newcomer's highly-anticipated debut album on Capitol Records Nashville.
Luke Bryan is out. The 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye' singer toppled all five competitors put in front of him, thanks to votes from fans online and via Taste of Country Nights radio. One by one, Bryan knocked down his fellow country artists, walking straight into Showdown Hall of Fame without even breaking a sweat. That means that this Friday battle will start with two fresh faces in Eli Young Band and Jon Pardi, both armed with new singles about achy minutes with, or without, that special someone.
Jon Pardi's 'Missin' You Crazy' lyrics will resonate with anybody who is missing somebody in their life. While the song was originally inspired by an ex-girlfriend, Pardi's latest single has now taken on a new meaning for the 27-year-old star on the rise, seeing how he is on the road constantly with his red-hot career.
