The Showdown: Scotty McCreery vs. A Thousand Horses

Scotty McCreery won his second straight Taste of Country Showdown over the weekend, and once again it wasn't close. The "Southern Belle" singer's fans made sure he knew they support his new song and new sound. Easton Corbin barely had a chance.

It make take an army to top the McCreerians, and  A Thousand Horses are bringing one. The second single from the group's Southernality album is another bluesy, mid-tempo country rocker. The same presentation took "Smoke" to No. 1, and a group this big surely has a ton of fans. They'll need every vote they can muster to beat the former American Idol.

Listen to clips of both McCreery and ATH’s songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Wednesday at 8AM ET, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. The winner of this matchup will face a new challenger on Wednesday.

Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour online. If a song wins five Showdowns in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.
