Definitely ready for some new Pardi! This will be an important single in his career, so I hope it's radio friendly without compromising his style and sound.

For the love of God please be country! He's one of the few good ones left. I will be so disappointed if he sold out.
Anyone know of a link that has audio?

I like the title! I'm not a huge fan of his vocals, but I have liked a few of his songs. "Up All Night," "Missin' You Crazy" and "What I Can't Put Down" are all very good. I am interested to hear this. The title itself sounds so country. I'm hoping to enjoy this.

This is awesome, he doesn't have the best voice, but he definitely knows how make good sounding country music.. That steel guitar is lovely. Too bad it's not 1990 otherwise this would be a big hit. I've enjoyed everything Pardi has put out thus far, his B-Sides album was really good, particularly "Drinkin With Me".

Fiddle and steel! Amen!
Neo-trad releases from Jon Pardi, Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, and Craig Morgan within a couple weeks of each other? Color me excited.

I'm loving this. I didn't listen to Jon's debut album in full until all the singles were released, but it's a fantastic listen. I'm really glad he decided to stick to his guns and not go trend-chasing.
I agree that he doesn't have the best voice, but he has a distinct voice, which is something that country radio lacks a lot of today.

Very solid. Nothing groundbreaking, but the chorus is pretty catchy and it's authentically country. Hopefully this can become his first top 10, it's pretty radio friendly.

This sounds really good. Its traditional but then again sounds like a growth over his debut album. I think Chris Janson will take same approach as Pardi with his debut album. Twangy and traditional, yet still sound fresh and very country. Jon's quickly becoming one of my favorite current artists. I will be patiently awaiting his next album. I still listen to his debut every week. Such a balanced album and one of 2014's best

This song is fantastic. The melody has been stuck in my head for days. The country beat coupled with that fiddle and steel guitar is infectious and while Jon isn't a great vocalist, he makes up for it in almost every other way imaginable. He's a perfect case of an artist coming along about 10 years late. Jon tried to break country radio at a pretty awful time (2012-2013) and luckily, "Up All Night" was able to huff and puff its way to a #11 peak, allowing us to enjoy his debut album.
It's going to a very interesting add day, come tomorrow evening when the official adds get tallied because there's some heavy hitters going for adds (Brad, Rascal Flatts, Michael Ray, Jon, Dallas Smith), with next week being incredible stacked as well. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see this song get north of 40 adds. Country radio has shown pretty solid support for Jon as time as gone on with "What I Can't Put Down" getting 50 adds on impact day and "When I've Been Drinkin'" getting 34.

Such a fantastic, stand-out single. This is Jon Pardi at his best. Hope his next album is as good as this.

This is what I was hoping it would sound like based on the title. I love this. Right when the music started and the verse kicked in, the catchiness and traditional sound pulled me right in. When I first heard the studio in full though, the chorus lost me for some reason... I'm listening to it again for the second time now and am no longer having that issue, so I don't know what I was smoking during that first listen. This is an excellent song and perfectly country.

That's an insanely good number of adds. Wow. Really hope this can be a hit, as it's probably my favourite Pardi single outside of "Missin' You Crazy".

Really hope this can be a hit, as it's probably my favourite Pardi single outside of "Missin' You Crazy". 51 adds ad #2 most-added is quite a good start for him. We'll see what that means for longterm success but it's far more than other similar singles and shows radio's good will towards Pardi (if they get the right kind of song). This blends contemporary and traditional elements nicely.

It actually won't mean anything in terms of this song's end success since "What I Can't Put Down" had the same amount of adds but only peaked at #31 on MB. But it's a great start and country radio has shown that they will support Jon and at least get his singles off the ground.

Finally listened to this. The melody in the chorus reminds me so much of Rainey Qualley's "Turn Me On Like The Radio". Which I would say is a good thing :)

This is pretty good. I find his voice tolerable on this one which I couldn't say of his last three singles. I liked his debut single a lot though and this is definitely his best release since that one.

I saw Pardi in concert about a year ago and thought his material was superb. This one is at the same high standards of his debut, with a great Bakersfield flavor to it. Also, it sounds like his voice is less nasal than on the previous singles, which I know was a turn-off for some.

It was the first thing he commented on.
