This week's challenge features new music from a couple of Texas and Red Dirt powerhouse bands as Reckless Kelly's timely "Pennsylvania Avenue" goes up against Cody Canada and the Departed's "Worth the Fight." As always this won't be easy but your job is still the same, listen to both new songs and vote for your favorite.

First up, Reckless Kelly. The Braun brothers may be from Idaho but over the past decade their music has been woven into the fabric of Texas Music. And they're reputation of never shying away from speaking their mind is evident with their latest "Pennsylvania Avenue." Give it a listen.

And in this corner Cody Canada and the Departed. We all know the story of Cody Canada and Jeremy Plato who for over a decade made up one half of the legendary band from Oklahoma, Cross Canadian Ragweed. After parting ways with Ragweed the guys hooked up with Seth James, Steve Littleton and Dave Bowen to form The Departed. From their forth coming album "Adventus," here is "Worth the Fight."
