With High Noon Jerrod Niemann was at a crossroads of sorts with Country Music radio. He had scored two massively successful hits with "Lover Lover" and "What Do You Want" (both Top 5, "Lover Lover" #1) But he experienced a sophomore slump of sorts with the innovative but not particularly radio-ready Free The Music.
