Duets are the rage right now, as I think we are playing about 10 of them on our current playlist on WQMX.  Duets have a long history with country.  We are not the only format that does them, but we do more of them than most.  (Read My - Country Duets Part 1).  I love this one.  With summer coming, this is right on time!

Jimmy Allen has the stuff to contend long term, and he picked a great partner to record this really slick song in Brad Paisley.  This is a terrific driving tune, and it also one of those songs that gets you excited to listen to it from the very second it begins.  I love when hit songs do that. They get right to it. (Blake's - Minimum Wage is another great example of how effective that can be).  Far too many songs sort of drag their feet before shifting into a higher gear, or even drive. Quick starters also sound really great on the radio, and I have always thought that can be essential to a songs appeal by getting your attention on the air in a few seconds.

This is a fantastic melding of a new artist and a veteran one.  Also in styles, as they absolutely play to each other's strengths here.  There are times that is not the case with duets, as there are instances it seems it's being done, just to be done.  But not here, this is focused and well thought out.  And the song is tidy, moves along and doesn't wear out its welcome. This is just a flat out good song in its written form and in its produced form. 

What A GREAT New Song!

It won't be long before this is the best song stations are playing and is a real favorite with fans. Just flat out great.

Grab a coffee and enjoy this song - a few times, because as I found out, once is not near enough.
