Luke Bryan is attempting to put a fourth song into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame. If 'Drunk on You' can win one more time, it will be retired alongside hits from Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Brantley Gilbert.

For the past few months, Jason Aldean has been performing hits on his My Kinda Party Tour accompanied by openers Luke Bryan and Lauren Alaina. And frequently, Aldean and Bryan have given concertgoers a treat by covering Tracy Lawrence's No. 1 hit, 'Time Marches On' together. On Thursday night (May 17) however, the country stars gave fans in Birmingham, Ala., a major surprise when Lawrence himself walked onstage to perform the song.
Luke Bryan vs. Chris Young – The Showdown
Luke Bryan is half way to enshrinement in the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame with his new song 'Drunk on You.'

As each week of competition on 'The Voice' has passed, it seems like country coach Blake Shelton and his last remaining contestant, Jermaine Paul, have grown closer. On Monday, the competition started to wind down, but Paul and Shelton weren't ready to throw in the towel just yet. The two put on a powerful rendition of 'Soul Man,' complete with backup singers and Paul's lead vocals, which put the other hopefuls to shame. The performance was so spot-on that country's biggest stars came out of the woodwork to advocate for Team Blake, despite the fact that Paul isn't even a country artist.

This week's Showdown is a rematch. Luke Bryan and Zac Brown Band went head to head in November, with Bryan's 'I Don't Want This Night to End' edging 'Keep Me in Mind' by a two-to-one margin. Will it be more of the same for Bryan this time around, or can ZBB fans rally to make 'No Hurry' the new champion?

Just because Luke Bryan is one of country music's hottest stars right now doesn't mean that avoids his fair share of reality when it comes to life at home with two young sons.
