I'm really liking this song.

I think "8 Second Ride" would've been a great summer song though. Could've hit Save a Horse level IMO.

[zaclord]

he played this at the CMA festival and it was REALLY good! i can't wait for this!

[sbp17]

The song itself seems good. The chorus is too choppy though and it just doesn't feel like he's singing the verses with much conviction. I think I'd really like it if it was performed by someone like James Otto.

[countryqueen]

ohhh something about a woman is done? what did that finish at?

[zaclord]

"Something About A Woman" has been done for months. like since March. i think it peaked at #14?

[countryqueen]

^oh thanks. I'm a bit slow, I don't really listen to the radio very much these days since i got a car-ipod player. i thought it might at least hit top 10 though, it reminds me so much of summer. was there a video for that song?

[zaclord]

i dont recall a video. but there might have been one.

i can't wait for this to be released! i love it a lot. i am hoping for his biggest single yet!

[rowdawg21]

This just got sent out to radio.

[zaclord]

ooh i can't wait to hear the studio version of this! he debuted it at the CMA Music Festival and I immediately LOVED it!!! i really hope he hits it big with this one. i can't wait to buy this!!!

Wow. I heard this at the CMA Fest and must not have paid much attention to it because I was not impressed.

But the studio version is great. I think this is going to be a big hit. Will probably do for him what "Must Be Doin' Something Right" did for Billy Currington.

[crazylove]

the guitar rox in this song :)
WYCD is playing since last week, it's the champ on country smackdown... beat Krisy and Phil's Vassar song.
i like it very much

thanks for posting S4C.

I've liked everything Jake's put out thus far, and this is no different. Loved it when he sang it in concert last November, and the studio version is just as good. Hope he can finally top the charts with this one.

[Uncle Lumpy]

Wow, I'm really impressed with his vocals on this. Although I liked his first record, he didn't grab me as a particular great vocalist. I may have to rethink my opinion after hearing this. I'm still not sure if I like the actual song though.

[kw9461]

This is off to pretty good start, up 10 spots in week #2. For me this song falls somewhere between Startin' With Me (which I really liked) and Something Bout a Woman (which was ok). I kind of expect in to do the same on the charts, peak somewhere around #10.

BTW, did anyone else notice that Randy and Jake Owen occupied consecutive spots on the charts this week. I bet there haven't been too many occurrences like that before.

[rowdawg21]

I'm really liking this, and it's finally in the top 40 in its sixth week.

AMG review

3 out of 5 stars

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Everything about Jake Owen is a testament to Nashville's image of an everyday all-American. He has an ordinary name, he's hunky but not threatening, he has facial hair as sculpted as his biceps, he has a warm, friendly voice that is as suited for sentiment as it is for hoisting a frosty bottle of American beer. There's not a thing that's surprising about Jake Owen, either on his 2006 debut or this, his 2009 follow-up, that replicates the formula of his first to the letter, going so far as to offer a new version of "Eight Second Ride," presumably following the assumption that if it produced a modest success the first time around, things will get better the next time. Musically, that's pretty much true: Easy Does It gets the balance of sports bar anthems, radio ballads, and Sunday sentiment right, hitting every cliché perhaps a bit too on the nose but effectively nonetheless. Complaining that this is a bit too familiar is beside the point because this is music meant to be familiar, to fit into pre-carved niches for Friday nights and Monday mornings, and it works not because the songs are great — at their best they're sturdy, at their worst they're workaday — but because the production is clean and uncluttered, focused directly on Jake Owen's warm, welcoming voice. Owen doesn't really look like a guy next door — he's too hunky by far — but he does sound like the homecoming king from a small town, a guy comfortable with posing in the spotlight without looking like he's posing, and it's this easy charm that turns Easy Does It into an effective piece of country-pop product.

Billboard

Easy Does It

"I don't want to be a guy with a song on the radio that no one knows," Jake Owen recently told Billboard. With the release of his sophomore set, he is well on his way to achieving his goal. The album is a refreshing mix of thoughtfulness ("Nothin' Grows in Shadows") and testosterone ("Eight Second Ride" and "Who Said Whiskey [Was Meant to Drink a Woman Away]"). The first single, "Don't Think I Can't Love You," is a soulful story of loving when love is all you have. On songs like "Easy Does It," Owen gives a nod to hero Conway Twitty, who told women what they wanted to hear and then gave it to them. The most interesting offering is "Green Bananas," a tale about never knowing when one's life may end ("I don't buy green bananas, 'cause I don't plan that far ahead"). —Ken Tucker

[kw9461]

I haven't heard the whole album yet, but Green Bananas is a terrific song. It's a well-traveled subject, but it's message is different enough to be fresh, and easy-going enough to be original.

HDD first-week sales prediction:

RCA Nashville Grammy-nominated country-rocker Jake Owen's sophomore album, Easy Does It, is the follow-up to his debut, 2006's Startin' With Me. First-week sales estimates are between 25-28k, and how's that for fine-tuning?

[Deleted]

Wow. Still climbing in its 30th week. I really like this song.

[bamafan2102]

This is a great song. I didn't like it at first but it has really grown on me. This album is also excellent and will be one of my favorites of the year. There are quite a few potential singles that jumped right out at me on first listen.

[licensetochill50]

I love this song. It's very Like Red on a Rose-esque

[zaclord]

this has a chance at going #1. i hope it does! its such a great song!

"Tell Me"
"Cherry On Top"
"Anything For You"
"Every Reason I Go Back"

are all amazing. those must be the songs to choose from for the next singles

I'm actually really surprised that this is doing good still, would've never guessed it had a shot at the top back when it came out. It may not be the best song in the world but I hope it goes #1 just because it's been a while since somebody new hit the top.

[Ten Pound Hammer]

I don't think this has a chance at #1. He's got Rodney and Tim hot on his tail, and songs over 25-27 weeks old don't usually have the momentum to get any higher than #3 execpt in extenuating circumstances ("Find Out Who Your Friends Are"). It's not entirely out of the question, but I don't think it's very likely.
