Joe Nichols- “Gimmie That Girl”
From the very first line, this song is 100% Joe Nichols. As soon as he sings that first note, Joe owns this song and makes it sound believable. Joe has never been the one to dazzle you with powerful vocals, he’s just a guy who sings the lyrics well and connects with the emotion of the song. “Gimmie That Girl” may just be about wanting the girl that he sees at home more than the public one, but he makes it sound like it’s something that no one has ever thought of before.
There’s only one knock for this song and that is that Joe has begun to struggle on the charts lately. “Believers” was a good song, but it didn’t crack the Top 20. I think “Gimmie That Girl” may find the same, showing that good songs don’t always chart well. I do think that this one has enough good things about it that it may be able to slip into the Top 20 given the right circumstances (several singles removed from the Billboard charts during the same week, for example), but am more inclined to think it will fall short.
