We have a new champion on Danny's Daily Duel. Casey James and his latest single, 'The Good Life' defeated two-time champ Billy Currington in yesterday's competition.  Today, James will take on the latest from Phil Vassar.

So far, so good for Alan Jackson as he gets another Daily Duel win, this take beating Phil Vassar's latest song. Jackson will now go up against Jana Kramer.  If you ever watched the TV show 'One Tree Hill' she played the part of Alex Dupre.  Well, guest what, she also sings.  Take a listen to both songs after the jump.

Chalk up another Daily Duel win for Alan Jackson and his new song.  62% of you vote for his latest over the new song from the Zac Brown Band - 'No Hurry'. Today, Jackson will take on the latest from Phil Vassar.  Granted, Vassar may not have the star power of his competitor, but this song can be a life changer.
