The annual Whiskey Riff Madness tournament, presented in collaboration with Rock the Country, welcomes fans to participate in voting for the ultimate patriotic country song. With 64 contenders, this year’s excitement revolved around some of the most iconic American country tunes.
As the tournament progressed, Toby Keith emerged as the formidable champion, easily sailing past competition with his hit "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue," which claimed over 87% of the votes in the semi-finals. In a different bracket, a fiercely contested battle saw Alan Jackson’s "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)" narrowly defeat Johnny Cash’s "Ragged Old Flag" with just 54% of the votes.
Now, the stage is set for the championship matchup featuring Keith’s anthem against Jackson’s emotional tribute. Voting is currently open and will close at noon Central Time on April 7. Fans can vote multiple times for their preferred song.
This year’s tournament coincides with the upcoming Rock the Country festival, featuring performances from stars such as Kid Rock, Nickelback, and Travis Tritt, starting April 4 in Livingston, Louisiana. Don’t miss the chance to celebrate America with music throughout the summer.
