Piece of Work to be the Next Single

After Will Kimbrough's show on Radio Margaritaville tonight, Steve announced that Piece of Work will be the next single to be released. I listened to LTC for the first time in a while on the way home from work, and I really like this song. I think it's going to do really well.

I was beginning to wonder if they would release POW as a single. The first time I heard it, I thought it would do really well on the charts. Just out of curiosity: How many singles do you guys think they will release from LTC? I would love to see Window On The World, and Coastal Confessions released as well, but that might be a little bit of over exposure.

I'd really be interested to see a video...

(I think maybe Bubba should consider cartoon
videos, since it really annoys him to make live
ones. And after all, "all the kids are doing it!"
Or maybe a video with a midget...)

Although I like the song, I hafta say I'm a more than a little disappointed to see another duet being released, especially when there is such a strong non-duet contender like "Back to the Island" on this cd.

Will Kimbrough is Great! I wish Bubba would have done the song with Will instead of TK.

I'm going to see Will friday in Dayton with Todd Snider!

Any Little Feat fans here? I got an email from Will and he said that LF is recording his song "Champion of the World" for their next cd.

I don't think you'll see Back to the Islands or Window to the World released as a single....as they don't have a country enough feel to them. (Great songs....just don't think country music program directors would embrace them). If any solo song is released as a single, I think it would be Coast of Carolina. Personally, I think the next single after this will probably be Boats to Build and it will be the most widely played to date!

I think the one he does with George Straight could be a big single!

I agree with you alaara. I really like POW, but I would have liked to seen the George song released on country radio.

Woooooooooohooooooooooooo! I think this one would do really well on the charts and possibly even "cross over" to non-country stations.

I LOVE this song!

Not a big fan of this decision. I too would have gone with Boats to Build. I could see Piece of Work doing well or totally flopping. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Not to be picky, but as much as everyone complains about Buffett being spelled with one T...George Strait

I was just telling a friend the other day about POW and how it would make a really neat video. I can imagine what Bubba and TK could do with that one. I think it would be really popular too, as TK's songs always are. I am thrilled at the exposure no matter what songs are released!

Would that make it a short video?

Well, since we've already got a Coastal Confessions
video, how about releasing that as a single?

Thank You! That bothers me too.

There's a video for that?

I'm confused about the release of POW as a single. I had heard that "Mockingbird" would be Toby Keith's next release from his album. It strikes me odd that Mockingbird, which is also a duet would be on the radio as the same time as POW.

My predictions for upcoming singles:

I could see Sea of Heartache being released because Strait doesn't have another album coming out for a few months and has nothing new to release to radio.

Boats to Build - I would be suprised to see this released. It's by far one of the best songs on the album, but in the past year, Alan Jackson and Jimmy have already appeared on two other songs together.

LTC - Probably not. The Kenny Chesney & Uncle Kracker duet are still getting heavy airplay as recurrents.

Coast of Carolina - This would be my best pick as a solo release. It has more of the feel of a song that would do well on mainstream country music radio.

Honestly, I don't really hear the rest of the album playing too well on country radio. I really like Coastal Confessions, Playin the Loser Again, Window On the World, Scarlet Begonias, and Back to the Island, but I really doubt radio would take to them.

Just my two cents
