We've had 4 singles released from Sundown Heaven Town thus far: the dreaded "Lookin' For That Girl", followed by the superb trio of "Meanwhile Back At Mama's", "Shotgun Rider", and "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools". "Diamond Rings..." is just outside the top 10 on the charts--doesn't look like a future #1 but it should peak somewhere in the top 10. And I'm pretty confident there will be at least one more single. So, what do you think the 5th single should be? The last 5 tracks in the poll are only on the deluxe version of the album, but I included them anyway.

I think "Overrated" would make the best single out of everything left on the album. I'd love to see "Portland, Maine" or "Lincoln Continentals & Cadillacs" get a shot, too. It's a really strong album with a lot of potential hits on it.

"Overrated" is my choice as well. It has a really good easy go feeling to it, kind of like "Shotgun Rider" did, and has a great message that most Country fans will really appreciate. I'm a big fan of "Sick Of Me" too, but following up the traditional leaning "Diamond Rings" with another traditional style song might not be the best idea. If there is a 6th single (not sure if the label really counts "Lookin For That Girl" since they pulled it), then I'd want it to be "Sick of Me".

How about a re-release of "Lookin' For That Girl"? :)
JUST KIDDING
I voted for City Lights as for me, it just sounds like a classic Tim song. There's a ton of great choices though.

I voted for "Portland, Maine" but "Overrated", "Sick Of Me", "City Lights", "Lincoln Continentals & Cadillacs", and "Black Jacket"are all single worthy to me. I'd also accept basically any other track except "Words Are Medicine" or "Kids Today" as singles.

I want "City Lights", but I think it'll end up being "Overrated". "Dust" and "Keep On Truckin'" are both radio-friendly options as well

I voted for "Portland, Maine", although I think "Dust" would be a great choice as well. I'm not as big on "Overrated" and "City Lights". I know "Dust" was in the running for the lead single before they ultimately went with "Lookin' For That Girl", so I wouldn't be surprised if "Dust" was next.

"Overrated" is my favorite left on the album and would make a great single, so I definitely gotta go with that. "City Lights" or "Dust" would work too because after "Diamond Rings & Old Barstools," I think they should avoid going with another slower tune, but I like "Overrated" a lot more than those two. I'd love to see them go 6-deep with this era though because they blew through the first three singles pretty quickly and there's a lot of great options on Sundown Heaven Town.

"Overrated" for sure, but I also like "Portland, Maine" and "Dust". Really just anything but the Kid Rock song though...

I wish they'd release the Kid Rock duet. Love that song.
