Brantley Gilbert vs. Garth Brooks – The Showdown

Garth Brooks makes his Showdown debut this week. His new song 'Mom' takes on a four-time champion in 'One Hell of an Amen,' the new song by Brantley Gilbert. No one has been able to slow down the BG Nation thus far; perhaps it will take a legend to stand in his song's path to the Showdown Hall of Fame?

Brooks' 'Mom' is his second single from the recently released 'Man Against Machine' album. The tender ballad has been making people cry nationwide since he first performed it on 'Good Morning America' three weeks ago. He'll need to rally his supporters if he hopes to best Gilbert.
