Here's one of Andy Griggs' biggest hits.

With a pair of hit singles, a few awards and a coveted Grammy Award nomination for "Best New Artist," to say that 2008 was a great year for Lady A is an understatement.  With the new year a few weeks old, the trio is now out to make 2009 even greater.  Will this single help them?

Alan Jackson returned to form with this single, which was recently selected as one of Roughstock's most favorite singles from 2008.

Alan Jackson has earned the right to sing whatever he likes and in 2006 he used some of that cache to release the not-so-traditional sounding "Like Red On A Rose" but like a good winter storm, AJ returned in 2008 with some great traditional country stuff, like this single here.

Keith Urban is one of country music's format stars for a reason and while his charm and good looks are a part of his total package, his ability to craft compelling country-rock/popis certainly more of a reason.  Here he is with our 20th favorite single of 2008.
