1 vs 9 LAX doesn't deserve to be this high.

Yassssss! The correct song won! "LAX" is such a clever title for a song and that steel guitar is heavenly. One of the best songs I've heard from him, period. Glad it pulled off the win here after this RD was an up and down mess for me.

Ooh an upset win! "LAX" is one of the best out of the album so even if it wasn't my #1, I'll take that one as a winner - it needed to be a single but then the label went with "Good Company" and "If He Ain't Gonna Love You" I swear Jake Owen has a knack for pleasant melody or something, that's what made me like "American Country Love Song" so much. It's not a special song at all, but it's just so damn fun to listen to! Thanks for hosting kamala 2024 truther!

All these cool album track upset victories the last couple nights!! How neat!!!! "American Country Love Song" should be a bit too bro for my taste, but tbh something about it just causes it to be such a JAM for me! I dismissed it when it was first released, and ever since then it has grown on me a little bit more every time I have heard it! "LAX" is a fantastic song too though, and I am more than happy seeing that one win One of the few truly great songs on this album. I remember folks clamoring for it to be a single, and this is just further proof that they were right.

Pleasantly surprised to see LAX win this. American Love is probably his worst album (you could argue Days Of Gold), but that was far and away the standout. Probably my second favorite album cut of Jake's. The steel is so good on it, I wish he would utilize it more often.

Wow, pleasantly surprised about LAX! I expected it to go around the middle of the pack tbh! Nothing good ever happens after midnight 3. After Midnight
I thought this song was going to be about Gremlins!

I seem to be in the minority of really liking this album but this rankdown was a hot ass mess!
Looking forward to the next one nonetheless.

I ended up having a rather busy weekend which means I missed a ton of reveals, so time to play catch up! The correct two songs left first (“VW Van” and “American Love”) albeit I had them in reverse order. These weren’t bad songs but I just found that I had no desire to revisit them at all. Not surprised to see “Good Company” be as polarizing as it was but I was caught by surprise to see it have not one but three #1 rankings! I can see why this was a single given the state of country radio, but there were much better offerings on the album than this. Speaking of better offerings, “You Ain’t Gong Nowhere” would’ve been my choice for a single and I see I wasn’t alone in liking this one. This really stood out on the first listen and I kept coming back around to this one the most. “When You Love Someone”, “Everybody Dies Young” and “After Midnight” were all standout tracks as well so I’m happy to see them perform as well as they did. And what a shock it was to see an album track win the rankdown! I think most of us were expecting “American Country Love Song” to come out on top and as much as I enjoy that song “LAX” really is the best song the album…and that steel guitar just makes me melt I can’t say I would’ve gone out of my way to listen to this album so thank you kamala 2024 truther for hosting this!

Greetings from...Jake (2019)Next up in this album series, as hinted at a few pages back, is Jake Owen's latest studio offering, Greetings from...Jake. This album, his sixth overall, was released on March 29, 2019, to a rather lackluster response: debuting at #8 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with just a measly 4,000 copies sold during debut week. By July 2019, the album had only sold 7,700 copies, and that's the only update I could find. The album has been supported by three singles: the #1 hit "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)," the #7-peaking "Down to the Honkytonk," and "Homemade," which is sitting at #4 on Country Airplay at the time of this post. (The #1 and #7 peaks are also Country Airplay data btw.)
The album cover depicts a postcard showing "everything Florida has to offer," such as palm trees, beaches, oranges, etc. Jake Owen wanted this album to be an appreciation of his home state of Florida and a "pure representation of who I am, where I've been, what I love and where I am going," and went on to call this album a "fresh hello from a point in my career where I feel so comfortable and fulfilled."
Greetings from...Jake is Owen's first album with Big Loud Records following his departure from RCA Records Nashville at the end of the American Love era (and tbh based on this era's airplay and the album we just ranked, methinks that was a smart move. )Tracklist (Runtime: 45:43):1. Down to the Honkytonk 2. Ain't Here to Talk 3. Catch a Cold One 4. I Was Jack (You Were Diane) 5. Grass Is Always Greener (ft. Kid Rock) 6. Homemade 7. Drink All Day 8. That's On Me 9. Señorita (ft. Lele Pons) 10. In It 11. River of Time 12. Made for You 13. Mexico in Our Minds 14. DamnSpotify playlist:
The deadline for this one will be set for after my finals week has passed, which by that point will be about two weeks after the Tanya Tucker rankdown is due. Please plan on having your lists in to me by Saturday, May 2!

Okay, I vote this as the perfect hair length for Jake Owen. Not too long, not too short.

I've done a horrible job with the reminder this week...we were technically 2 days away from the deadline, but finals have been going on this week and I've been buried 6 ft under by them...so I'm going to go ahead and extend this out by a week for anybody who thinks they're interested in sending in a list! The new deadline is sandwiched in between the SheDAISY and George Strait albums...please have your list in by Saturday, May 9!Ballot Update:1. kamala 2024 truther2. gardyfan3.

I'm not much of a Jake Owen fan aside from some singles (which are not on this album lol) so again my interest in doing this one is not really there tbh. But keep tagging me in future albums... I'll probably do Barefoot Blue Jean Night when we get to it.

Hey all. Finals really took a lot out of me last week and I have been spending this week recovering from them and as a result the May 9 deadline completely fell out of my mind. As a result, I'll be extending this out again to Friday, May 29. If I recall correctly I still have the 8 lists from the last ballot update. Keep sending your lists in! :)

Lucky timing because my mental health decided to say "lol" last weekend and I've been so bad at reminders for all of my open rankdowns. They're all gonna probably need to be extended now. I'll post updates tomorrow.

Hey y'all! Now that my WiFi is back, I can continue on with my rankdowns! I'll start with this one; this is the album that has been open for submissions the longest. I'm currently at 12 lists, which is a pretty decent number. I can go ahead and close submissions Sunday night if no one else is planning on sending a list in. I'd think there wouldn't need to be any extensions--y'all had nearly a month past the May 29 due date but if one is still needed, I'll give it! .indulgecountry do you plan on sending a list in?
