What a great finish for this album! They’ve done a great job of selecting the right singles for this era which is something that Jake’s previous label always fell short of. It’s unfortunate that “Down to the Honkytonk” couldn’t make the top 5 on the country charts because its initial run started out quite promising (it’s still a jam, though!). “Made For You” was a great selection for what will likely be the final single from this era and while I’m expecting a long climb up the charts I do hope it’ll be another top 10 at least. All that said, “Homemade” is not just my favorite song from this album but has likely become one of my all-time favorite songs from Jake. This is one of those songs that will always take me back to a certain time in life and one that I’ll want to still put on ten years from now. Thanks again to our host, kamala 2024 truther , for another great rankdown and I continue to be surprised by how much I’m enjoying Jake’s albums!

I agree. I hadn't heard this album (outside of the singles) before the rankdown, and was pleasantly surprised. I only have two of his albums (American Love and Barefoot Blue Jean Night), but I like what I've heard of the albums so far.

Barefoot Blue Jean Night (2011)Next up in our journey through Jake Owen's discography is Barefoot Blue Jean Night, his third studio album. This one was released on August 30, 2011 via RCA Records Nashville to a #1 debut on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. The era offered four singles to country radio: the title track, "Alone with You," "The One That Got Away," and "Anywhere with You," all of which went to #1 on the Country Airplay chart. Fun fact: the title track is not only the fastest-rising single of Jake Owen's career, but it's also his first #1! Tracklist (runtime: 38:20):1. Anywhere with You 2. Keepin' It Country 3. Wide Awake 4. Barefoot Blue Jean Night 5. Heaven 6. Apple Pie Moonshine 7. The Journey of Your Life 8. Alone with You 9. Settin' the World on Fire 10. Nobody Feelin' No Pain 11. The One That Got Away Spotify playlist: Due: Friday, July 24This is a relatively short album, so I think July 24 is a good due date. If there will need to be any extensions, let me know and I will work with it!

I'm excited to do this album. One of my favorite songs from him that was not a single is on this album! It really is a good group of songs!

Howdy y'all! We're currently 2 weeks away from the deadline for this album. I'm more than willing to offer extensions tho, so please let me know if July 24 won't work for you. I'm only at 3 lists so far, so I'm definitely hoping for more! Ballot Update:1. gardyfan 2. kamala 2024 truther 3. George

Howdy y'all! We were initially going to be just one week away from the July 24 deadline for this album, but taking a look at the queue of open rankdowns in the country rankdown thread, I see that there are three other albums due on the same day. To alleviate that for y'all, and in an effort to get at least to the same number of 15 lists that Jake Owen's last two albums received (I currently have 7 lists), I will be extending the deadline for this to Monday, August 10. That's sandwiched right in between the Carrie Underwood Rankdown 2.0 and sabre14's 2004-06 Hidden Gems rankdown. I would definitely prioritize those two lists as they are larger (particularly the Hidden Gems rankdown--it's 120+ songs if I'm not mistaken!), but if you want something easier afterwards, come rank this album! Lists Received:1. gardyfan2. kamala 2024 truther3. George4. someguy5. tim6. LBTrocks7. fearlessarrowDue: Monday, August 10

Howdy! I've been really bad at the reminders for this, and have only received one list since extending the deadline. So with that, I'm going to be extending the deadline once again, this time to Tuesday, August 25. That's three weeks away from today, and also the day before the New Country Releases of July 2020 are due. Hopefully this will be the last time I need to extend the deadline, in order to get to at least 15 lists! Lists Received:1. gardyfan2. kamala 2024 truther3. George4. someguy5. tim6. LBTrocks7. fearlessarrow8. Kanenrá:keDue: Tuesday, August 25

Howdy! It's time for me to bump this thread with another reminder that this rankdown is a thing! We're now roughly 1 1/2 weeks away from the deadline and I'm at a total of 9 lists so far. Can we make it to the same 15 from the first two albums we've done? I sure hope so! Lists Received:1. gardyfan2. kamala 2024 truther3. George4. someguy5. tim6. LBTrocks7. bboat118. fearlessarrow9.

1. What will be #1? The title track
2. What will be #11? "Apple Pie Moonshine" or "Nobody Feelin' No Pain"
3. What will comprise the Top 5? Knowing single bias, it'll be all the hits + maybe "Heaven" as the lone album cut.
4. What will be the one song that's right in the middle, not making Top OR bottom 5? "Setting the World on Fire"
5. Which of the singles will place highest and where? Lowest and where? (title track, "Alone With You," "The One That Got Away," "Anywhere With You") The title track @ #1. Lowest, I'll guess "Alone with You" @ #4.
6. Which album track would you like to see do best? "Heaven"
7. Any other thoughts/predictions? There's at least like 3 album cuts I'd love to see top 5 here but I expect the singles to sadly dominate.

Leaving us first is the atrocious (and far too long) song "Nobody Feelin' No Pain." What a mess this song is. The lyrics are the height of bro-country and some of these lyrics are...hoo doggies, it's just godawful. And you know that's the truth when not even Flops can bring himself to put it in his Top 5! This was basically our #11 right from the start. It spent one list at the very beginning at #9 and once it was sent to #11, its fate was sealed. Six of us put it there correctly, with no Top 5 ranks from anybody.

I don't remember how any of these songs go aside from the hits, but I'll take that perfect ranking!!!

Up next is the track "Apple Pie Moonshine." This one isn't much better imo, and I have no plans on ever revisiting it. It's quite forgettable to me to be quite honest.
This one spent a list at #3 in the beginning only to be immediately tanked to the bottom of the list, for the most part solidifying itself in the #10 position.
