Frankie Ballard has chopped his hair, lost a few pounds (seemingly) and refined his sound to produce 'Helluva Life,' a new single from an upcoming album. Natural grit makes a wandering lyric a more emotional experience. It's a song that attempts to throw its arms around everyone -- that's always a dangerous endeavor.

On today's KICKS 105 Country Clash, Little Big Town will go for their 2nd straight victory with their latest single 'The Reason Why'. The challenge will come from newcomer Frankie Ballard's 'A Buncha Girls'.  Frankie hails from Michigan and got his start by singing Elvis songs as an 8-year-old. Take a listen to both songs after the bump.
