It's Uncle Kracker, as it has been for at least nine years.

They've waited way too long to release a follow-up single. It's been about a year since "Smile" was first released.
I happen to think "My Girlfriend" would make the best second single candidate (even though virtually the entire album is tailor-made for radio). A video for it was shot half a year ago, despite not being physically released as a single.
Namaste,
Lisping Hibiscus

I like this a lot better than "Smile", which is fine and all, but I find it a little bland. I think "Good To Be Me" could be a moderate hit this summer.

I think this will be a solid hit for him, especially with Kid Rock. The dude's got the golden touch.

I think this will be a solid hit for him, especially with Kid Rock. The dude's got the golden touch. I'll say what I said in the CHR/Pop counterpart thread. Uncle Kracker has more of an ear for melody, while Kid Rock has more of an ear for personality, I believe, and together they make quite a formidable duo. In-between, the two have collaborated in writing hit songs since they both went their separate career paths where, when you combine the aforementioned strengths of both artists, "All Summer Long" became the unmistakable hit is is (ironically, as heavily involved as Kid Rock has been in mentoring, producing and co-writing a lot of Uncle Kracker's early career catalog, Kid Rock doesn't have a co-writing credit on any of Uncle Kracker's big hits to date, while Uncle Kracker has helped pen all three of Kid Rock's hits from his breakthrough era and "All Summer Long") It definitely says something when, despite having demonstrated his chops for songwriting and melody as it is, Uncle Kracker is sharply less popular than Kid Rock as a featured artist. Ultimately, it comes right down to stage personality, I believe. Love him or hate him, Kid Rock exudes personality, and that is the main reason why he has had a sustainable career to this point, first and foremost, and is seen by many as the patron rock and roll cowboy saint. Uncle Kracker, on the other hand, is probably seen as likable, but he is like Sandy Dumbrowski to Kid Rock's Danny Zuko............a nice guy, but beyond that rather ordinary and has no notable characteristics that make him stand out on stage. Despite that, I believe it was nonetheless smart for Uncle Kracker to go solo, so he could demonstrate his songwriting ear more openly. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus |
