Brantley Gilbert vs. Kristy Lee Cook – The Showdown

With one more win Brantley Gilbert‘s new song ‘Kick It in the Sticks’ earns a place in the Showdown Hall of Fame. The singer’s fans were too much for fans of Katie Armiger‘s bad-girl rocker ‘Better in a Black Dress’ on Monday and Monday night Taste of Country Nights radio. Today Gilbert’s hit squares off against an emotional ballad military families will appreciate. 

Kristy Lee Cook is back with her first single in four years. ‘Airborne Ranger Infantry’ takes listeners to the front lines and back. It’s sure to hit hard with country music fans, but whether the former ‘American Idol’ contestant’s song will make a big enough impact to top Gilbert’s four-time champion remains to be seen.
