I'm pretty sure it's Hard To Love. Lee said himself last week, that HTL was the next single, and Curb Records posted a picture of them filming the Hard To Love music video. I could be wrong though, we'll just have to wait and see.
This song is a hit and it's Totally Lee and a perfect follow-up theme-wise to "A Woman Like You." Just got the record from the label today and this was undeniable. I can see why it's the title track.
That makes sense, and jhomes mentioned that as well. The article specifies 'radio' though. So, idk.
Yeah, radio can spin it as an album track, but it didn't say "single"...
The article on Lee's site was cut and pasted and is a reference to an article on The Boot. The Boot has since edited that line out of their article. So Look for this to be the single.

If I cant get traditional, then I love the next best option with a more heartland/classic rock country sound such Eric Church's and EYB's current singles...this is right on up there with it.great song and Lee Brice's new record will be one of the best of the year!
I really like this song and definitely see why they chose it as a single. I've never bought a Lee Brice album, but I'm thinking I'll get this one--it sounds like it's gonna be a great one from the previews I've heard.
Lee co-wrote 8 of 13 songs on it, so I do find it a little odd that neither "A Woman Like You" or the title track were co-written by him, yet they are the first 2 singles. Another likely single, "I Drive Your Truck", also wasn't written by Lee. But I'm sure Lee feels like all the songs are great and probably just wants to give some outside writers a chance as well.

Same thing here... it really sounds like a solid album.
I can see this becoming a huge breakout album for Lee Brice -similar to Jake Owen and Barefoot Blue Jean Night.

He didn't write "Love Like Crazy" either. Here's the thing, he is from the Garth Brooks school of artistry: he could have an ego about recording only stuff he wrote or he can cut outside stuff that fits him. IF you didn't know he didn't write this song, then you'd have thought he did because it totally is LEE. I said that (above) before I got the track-by-track listing and posted it yesterday.
I thought bringing this up towards the front was a good idea with the song now breaking into the top 50. It's played all the time on XM59 and is a probable hit. I was actually surprised to see it not already racing up the chart given how much it's being played on the previously mentioned station.
The song itself is rather good and really catchy. I could definitely see this hitting the top.

Well, it only went for adds 10 days ago, so I'd say it is moving up quite quick. It should hit the top 40 on the 6/9 chart, and it's already gotten 51 adds, nearly 20 more than Lady A's new single has gotten. Plus, "A Woman Like You" is going to be getting strong recurrent airplay for a while yet.
But I agree that this one could have a shot at #1.
Wow - Lee Brice sounds like a country version of The Fray with this type of song. Hard To Love is an instant download on iTunes for me!
I'm loving where country radio is heading towards with this new style of country/soft-rock fusion (not sure if there's a more correct term for this, but this song and "Springsteen" are excellent examples).
This song is doing quite well. I think he's gonna get another #1 with this. It's doing better this week than the new ones by Lady A and Rascal Flatts, and it has been consistently making strong gains, too. Plus, the digital sales for this track have been astonishing, and I look for that to continue and to help this song on its way toward the top.

^yes. I have see him once during the time of his first CD release. He was very good. You will like him. I would love to see him perform the songs from the new CD live at some point. Enjoy!
I'm digging this album more and more by the day. After Hard To Love, I'd love to see I Drive Your Truck released. That's When You Know It's Over should be a single as well

Just listening to the album for the first time, and please tell me that "Parking Lot Party" has no chance of being a single? It's probably one of the most annoying songs I've heard in a long time. Lee has written and recorded some amazing songs, but that one is a dud. Loving everything else so far, and I'm happy that "Hard To Love" was chosen as the 3nd single, doesn't really seem like it'd be an obvious choice but it sounds great on the radio. I'm hoping for "Don't Believe Everything You Think" will follow after IDYT
