The Showdown: Jon Pardi vs. Rascal Flatts

Fans agree that Jon Pardi's "Head Over Boots" sounds pretty good on the radio, online and ... well, it sounds pretty good anywhere. The new single from the Californian's second studio album has won two straight Showdowns. It's a simple love song that rides along a swinging country beat.

Dustin Lynch was the latest challenge to fall to the Pardi faithful. "Mind Reader" took just 40 percent of the weekend Showdown vote, and will be replaced by the new song from Rascal Flatts.

"I Like the Sound of That" is the fourth single from Rewind. It's a sweet, unencumbered love song that's reminiscent of the group's earlier hits. Singer Gary LeVox hasn't sound this energetic since "Me and My Gang," and if their fans agree, we'll have a new champion 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.
