Luke Bryan vs. Lee Brice – The Showdown

Luke Bryan is attempting to put a fourth song into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame. If ‘Drunk on You’ can win one more time, it will be retired alongside hits from Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Brantley Gilbert. Last week the song narrowly beat Chris Young‘s ‘Neon’ to move on to face this week’s challenger.

It’s a battle of men with the same initials this week, as Bryan takes on Lee Brice and his new hit ‘Hard to Love.’ The second single from Brice’s ‘Hard 2 Love’ album is semi-autobiographical. It’s a thank you note of sorts to his fiancee Sara. The mid-tempo groove is quickly becoming an iTunes hit, despite only being released to radio two weeks ago.

‘Drunk on You’ comes from Bryan’s ‘Tailgates and Tanlines’ album. The singer continues to establish himself as a man capable of the rowdy, back-country jams like ‘Country Girl (Shake It for Me)’ in addition to tender love songs like this single and his previous No. 1 hit, ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End.’

Listen to both Brice’s and Bryan’s songs and decide which you prefer. While you can only vote once, feel free to share this poll with your friends so that they can vote too. This week’s Showdown ends on May 27 at 11:59PM ET.
