KICK it or Keep It RESULTS: Kasey Tyndall vs Jackson Michelson

The results are in, and Kasey Tyndall's foot stomping anthem 'Bar That's Open' held strong for a second straight week, barely squeaking out a win over Jackson Michelson in this week's KICK It or Keep It.

Jackson Michelson's "Rollin'" fell just shy of winning KICK It or Keep It, but like several of our recent Breakthrough Artists, he is starting to climb the charts. Should he cross into the top 40, we could hear him again. But Tyndall is our winner, and she too is climbing the charts, as is Bar That's Open's co-writer (and former Breakthrough Artist) Ashley McBryde. This, like 2017, could be a very good year for new artists in Country music. We're rooting for Tyndall, and let's see if she can go the full four weeks to make the Breakthrough Artist Hall of Fame.

And let's not forget that even though Michelson is gone this week, he could come back in a Second Chance slot later this year.

Here is your victor, Kasey Tyndall with Bar That's Open.
