Tim McGraw vs. Granger Smith – The Showdown

We're starting fresh with an all-new Showdown after Sandra Lynn's 'Afterparty' won its way into the Hall of Fame. Now, Tim McGraw and Granger Smith will go head-to-head with their latest singles.

McGraw's new track, 'Diamond Rings and Old Barstools,' is a haunting ballad that tells the story of lovers who are not destined to work out, featuring Catherine Dunn on harmony vocals. Smith's 'Bury Me in Blue Jeans' is an introspective look at the influences in life that made him who he is today. Both songs are very strong, but which one will move on to another round of the Showdown?

Listen to clips of both McGraw and Smith’s songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Friday 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 Friday.

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.
