Well he's 2/2 as far as titles are concerned. Can't wait to hear this.

"Buy Me A Boat" took a long time to grow on me, but I'm 100% behind this guy now. The title is intriguing so I'm hoping this is good! :)

The title is intriguing so I'm hoping this is good! :) I was behind Chris Janson ever since "'Til A Woman Comes Along." I loved his Bigger Picture singles (especially "Cut Me Some Slack") and "Buy Me A Boat." He hasn't had a single yet I didn't care for. The title sounds like Chris Janson song. |

Me too, or possibly before. I saw him opening a couple of shows in Nashville and another location, one of the handful of unknown-ish openers I've ever seen who was really effective.

Wasn't this also the title of a Mickey Gilley song? I knew I recognized the title somewhere
Anyway, I am really glad he included "When I'm Holding Her" on the album (shortened to just "Holdin Her"). I hope this is a single at some point. He had said back when his EP came out in 2013 that the song was the favorite he has ever written, and it says alot that it made the album
Wish there were more than 11 tracks....

Excited to hear this based on how much I like "Buy Me a Boat" and the title sounds very promising!  |

I'm not a fan of his voice, but I did grow to love "Buy Me A Boat" over time. If I like the song, I'll listen to him.

For me this one is much better than the first one (which was OK, but not a standout from my point of view). This guys is the new Canadian country star for sure. He would have the potential to break out in the US, but I don't think it's in their plans for now. |

^ Not to derail the thread but Brett Kissel's Canadian hit, "3,2,1" was a Highway Find on Sirius/XM this past spring and he spends a ton of time in Nashville. I'm almost expecting him to take a stab at the US in the future.

Not bad, but not blown away yet. I think it's a safe second single, but its not nearly as instant as "Buy Me A Boat" was. I like that it sounds pretty country though, lord knows the genre needs more songs like that right now. I could definitely see this one growing on me.

I said earlier in this thread that Chris hasn't had a single that I didn't care for yet...that streak continues...I love this. It's nothing ground-breaking but I really enjoy the melody and the vocals from Janson. It's still not as good as "Cut Me Some Slack" or "Buy Me A Boat", but this one's another winner for me.

I LOVE the melody to this. I'm sure this will hit the top spot for him.

"Holdin' Her" is now available for stream on iTunes, and man it is a great song. 100% country with steel guitar and amazing vocals from Chris. I wish it was the second single to be honest.

This song has been stuck in my head for the past week or so. Its quickly becoming one of my favorite on the chart right now. I'm just so glad Chris got another record deal and is flourishing. In fact, this past year has been pretty good for comebacks from some lesser known artists, whether it'd be great success (Chris Janson) or coming back from the dead all-together (Blaine Larsen, Halfway to Hazard, Tyler Dickerson). |

Someone sent me the link where Chris Janson's album is streaming at CMT. Holdin Her may have been my least favorite song lol - lots of room for varying tastes, I guess.

I was somewhat lukewarm to Buy Me a Boat, but this album is pretty darned stout. Power of Positive Drinkin is going to be a big radio hit along with Right In the Middle in my opinion. I think you are going to see Chris Janson "right in the middle" of the New Artist of the Year discussion in 2016.

I hope so too but I would like to see him release "Under the Sun" as a single after "Power of Positive Drinkin'".

I love this!! Always crank it up when it comes on the radio. Great melody- it has some edge to it- but still sounds country. It didn't take long for me to start loving "Buy Me A Boat" as well, and his voice is becoming more and more appealing to me.

I don't know if this will always be a thing with Chris and I, but once again his stuff is really growing on me. This song isn't anything special lyrically, but I'll damned if it isn't just something fun to listen to. I've come around to it.

Is this song struggling? I hope Buy Me A Boat's recurrent Airplay didn't screw this one over. Maybe this can redeem itself in the coming weeks.

Is this song struggling? I hope Buy Me A Boat's recurrent Airplay didn't screw this one over. Maybe this can redeem itself in the coming weeks. It all depends what your definition of struggling is. "Power Of Positive Drinkin'" went for adds 11 weeks ago and Chris' song is finally starting to see some signs of encouragement. Its not doing horribly but at the same time, it hasn't really done that good either. Its up 81 spins and 200k in audience over the past seven days, however. That coming on the heels of this song only gaining 100 spins and 400k in audience the previous five weeks. Janson is definitely getting affected by the recurrent play of "Buy Me A Boat" but that song's recurrent play has been gradually going down since December and now "Power Of Positive Drinkin'" is starting to gain a little traction. The song is not selling well right now but like many songs in the 40's and 50's, many haven't even heard it yet...including me; I have only heard this one on my personal playlist so far. The Highway hasn't played it and neither has WYRK. If I was the average fan, I would have no idea this song was a single right now...therefore, I don't buy it. It's still early enough for this to become a top 20-30 single at radio but time is of the essence since I don't think things will get easier as the weeks go on. Let's hope this one continues to keep the small but steady gains going. |
