Craig Morgan vs. Rodney Atkins – The Showdown
Craig Morgan's new ballad 'Wake Up Lovin' You' has won two Showdowns in a row, the second by a wide margin. The singer's fans took over 88 percent of the voting total earlier this week, making quick work of newcomers Dan + Shay. Rodney Atkins is a more well-known star, and his new song promises to be tougher competition.
'Doin' It Right' is a song Atkins is very proud of. The inspiring lyric reminds country listeners that there's no wrong path to get through life as long as you're remaining true to what's in your heart. Expect a new album from the singer in 2014.
Listen to clips of both Morgan and Atkins' songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Monday 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 Monday.

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.
