This is fantastic! Love that banjo line and the melody is strong. This sounds like something that would be a surefire hit if the name on it were just about any of the new male acts out there (Russell Dickerson, Jordan Davis, etc.), but I'll have to remain cautiously optimistic since she's a female and we know how that goes. Wishing for the best though, because this sounds like a smash. It's criminal but unsurprising that a song like "Make Him Wait" didn't take off since a feminist ballad doesn't work for country radio's narrow scope, but "Good Lord" is a total radio song. After my initial listen, I think I prefer "Dance Away My Broken Heart," but this is definitely good too and I can see why they'd wanna go with something fresh.

Country Forum Posting Guidelines

1) Post with Content. You don’t have to be perfect about this, and enthusiasm isn’t a crime, but we’d rather have posts driven by thoughts and ideas. If you develop a pattern of posting in the “discouraged” zone below, we’ll work with you to try to correct it, but you won’t get warned unless you’re incredibly stubborn about content-free posting. Anyway, below is the “discouraged zone”, a list of some posting examples that you should avoid:

• "I love this song!"
• "Get that smash!"
• "Heard it on the radio today!"
• "This song sucks."
• "#18 on Mediabase today!"

Such 'drive-by' comments don’t really add to the discussion. When posting, it helps if you explain yourself. What specific things (vocals, lyrics, melody, production, etc) do you like or dislike about a song? We don’t need each post to be multiple paragraphs in length, nor are we looking for a thesis or a research paper. If you can explain something in 1 or 2 sentences, that’s acceptable. Just keep in mind that this is a discussion board, not a chat room.

This isn't to single you out, but this was a good example to serve as a reminder. Feel free to have a negative opinion on the song but elaborate so we can discuss it! :)

Oh wow, I LOVE this! I wasn't the biggest fan of "Make Him Wait" (largely because it seemed lifeless) but this has that "Love Me Like You Mean It" fun vibe. Hopefully Black River can do with Abby Anderson what they did with Kelsea and turn her into the next female breakout. If not, then shame on country radio because this is a perfectly catchy song that will sound great during the summer. :)

'Dance Away My Broken Heart' is far superior but this is a jam for me. I like her voice on this one and DAMBH so I am left scratching my head why they picked such a slow and boring debut single to try and launch a new artist. She has spunk and a lot of vocal personality, introduce herself with it!

I agree with this, "Make Him Wait" was such a miss. I imagine they wanted to take the Carly Pearce route...but she had OTV. Anyway, this song is a bop and I hope radio gives this a shot. Abby is such a great personality.

Third most added song this week with 33 adds. Also 12 more adds than "Make Him Wait" got on it's add week (21).

Encouraging start so far imo.

So is this gonna do anything? :'(

No adds for a few weeks and not showing in new & active...I don’t have hopes for this one. 😢

So disappointing given that it pulled in more adds than her debut single and then just... nothing. Ugh. I don't get how Black River was able to turn Kelsea into a star so quickly and yet can't get even a small amount of traction for Abby.

I wonder if things would have gone differently for her if “Dance Away My Broken Heart” had been her first single. I still revisit that song weekly whereas her debut single was horrible.

I saw her opening for Rob Thomas the other night. Would have had absolutely no idea who she was otherwise and I really have no idea why she was his opening act. Good singer but none of these songs did anything for me. DAMBH sounds like the best chance for her to get a hit.

Didn’t a Tweet from Taylor to Kelsea, help Kelsea get popular?

I mean that certainly helped Kelsea get more attention, but radio didn't embrace her out of the gate just because Taylor Swift approved of her music. They definitely did everything right with launching her career and scored big, but they haven't gotten any traction for Abby and it seems odd to me. "Good Lord" out-performed her debut single in adds, but it hasn't even charted. The stations that added her must've just buried this in overnight spins and never upped it. I hope she catches on with something because she really seems like she has a lot of star potential, just like Kelsea did.

I’m a good fan of Abby’s music, I hope she gets more airplay. I hope her label is not thinking about why promote Abby when we have Kelsea? Cus that would stink. These girls are both talented.
