I love Lindsay Ell and her music. I would kill for her to have a hit. "Trippin' On Us" was a smash that never was. I was obsessed with the song and loved the mid 2000s feel the song and her vocals had. I was not at all happy when it flopped. Not. At. All. "Shut Me Up" was the same situation for me. Anyway, back to her vocals, I adore them. She's a strong singer and her tone is gorgeous. This song sounds really fun and catchy. Interested to hear the studio. I think it sound radio friendly enough based on this acoustic performance, so... country radio needs to get behind this.

Haven't been a fan of anything this girl has put out thus far, but this one actually sounds promising. I hope they don't ruin it with the studio version, because I think there's a pretty solid, catchy song here.

I've loved everything that this girl has released and it's a shame she isn't more famous. I've found Tripping On Us to be the definition of catchy country pop ear candy. Excited to hear this.

On a side note (sorry for double post because of merged posts), this is easily her best shot at real radio success.

Seriously, can she just break out already? She has the talent... This is so good! I really want to hear a full album from her.
Also, that is truly one of the most gorgeous single covers I have ever seen.

Wow, this is so good! Love the production and if this doesn't break, she won't, this is her best effort yet.

This is a total earworm. I'm glad that this isn't overproduced like I remember thinking her last couple singles sounded (don't really remember them -- just that I disliked them). She sounds great on this though and the production, melody, and lyrics are all very catchy. I like this a lot. I'd love to see this become a hit, especially if more music in a similar vein follows.
As an aside, I think Clare Dunn does this style of country music with a rockish guitar edge better than Lindsay Ell though.

As an aside, I think Clare Dunn does this style of country music with a rockish guitar edge better than Lindsay Ell though. Based on the one Clare Dunn song I've heard, I would have to disagree on this. I've heard the full studio version several times on Bobby Bones, and I think Lindsay sounds great on this. It doesn't really showcase her guitar playing but her vocals are really nice. Does anyone know whether that's her playing the banjo? I hope maybe this will be her big break on radio. It's been a while since we had a good guitar-slinging female (remember Anita Cochran anyone?)

Really love this song and it's already really impressive that it's already in New and Active for the country music airplay. Maybe this can really be Lindsay's breakthrough

Maybe this can really be Lindsay's breakthrough That was caused by one station on Billboard's Airplay panel though (600k in total audience). One thing to keep an eye on though is the "On The Verge" selection. I'm certainly not saying this song will be rewarded the program but "By The Way" has gotten a massive amount of starters for a song that doesn't go for adds for another two weeks. 22 of the top 24 starters are iHeartMedia. That's quite the coincidence.

That's quite the coincidence. That tells me that it likely is the OTV pick. Makes sense they might wanna support another female and that Granger will get where he goes without the pickup. Well, I wouldn't be sure that the gatekeepers at iHeartMedia want to go out of their way to select back-to-back females with their selections but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it's Lindsay's. This is the kind of catchy radio-friendly, ear candy they might want to go with after "Burning House" was selected. "By The Way" has 28 total stations that have spun it at least 2 times over the past seven days, with 65% of them being 4 spins over the past seven days...that just doesn't happen to a song that is sung by someone who hasn't had a top 40 single yet and with the official add date two weeks away. iHeartMedia made the first announcement of an "On The Verge" artist (Conrad Sewell) for the first time in what seems like forever, about a week ago, so I'm guessing that we'll see a country artist selected very soon and this song looks to be it at the moment.

This is pretty solid, and I wouldn't have any qualms about this getting the OTV nod.

Although if I had a preference, I would like the On The Verge to go to Lauren Alania this song getting it wouldn't offend me. There are much worse options.

Power of Bobby Bones!! That's the 3rd song in a row that Bobby's pet favorite that has become the OTV choice? Bobby kept pushing hard to promote Lindsay Ell this past week on his show (just like Chris Janson and Cam before they were officially OTV's). I guess iHeartMedia bosses have basically decided to let Bobby be in charge of picking the country OTV songs.

I guess iHeartMedia bosses have basically decided to let Bobby be in charge of picking the country OTV songs. OR in the case of Cam and Lindsay, they were going to pick them anyway and let Bobby have the perception of 'helping' choose the next big thing artist. Let's be honest, it looks good for them having him syndicated if he does support the artist they're picking anyway.

Well, remember Lindsay has been a buddy of Bobby and his show for quite a while now. She's been on the show many times and has also played many concerts with the Raging Idiots. So it shouldn't be a big surprise that Bobby would be an early supporter of this single.

Video uploaded to YouTube:
I usually don't care too much for these "girl power" type songs but this song is so freakin' catchy. That "by the way, hey by the way -- guess who's going out tonight?" lyric has been stuck in my head for days and The Highway plays this one often. I really enjoyed "Trippin' On Us" but thought "Shut Me Up" was a total disaster. This one however is much better. If Lindsay was sitting on this song for a while, I have no clue why her label didn't release this from the start.
