Like George Strait and Tim McGraw, Billy Currington’s been blessed with a wonderful ear when it comes to picking songs that just sound good on the radio.  After a string of #1 hits that ran four songs deep, “Love Done Gone,” not only failed to hit #1 but it became his first single to fail to hit the Top 10 since the “Tangled Up” barely scraped the Top 40 in 2007. So with that in mind, Billy has come back with “Like My Dog.”

Written Scotty Emerick and the late, great Harley Allen, “Like My Dog” is a sweet song about a guy who wishes that the woman in his life would love him unconditionally, like his dog does. It’s a clever and undeniably country tune with a laid-back melody that suits Billy’s strong country voice. “Love Done Gone” may have been a peppy departure but this one returns Billy to the strong radio hits like “People Are Crazy,” “Pretty Good At Drinkin’ Beer” and songs like “Let Me Down Easy” and “Good Directions.” In other words, expect “Like My Dog” to be a big hit and quite possibly another #1 hit.
