As you saw last week (reca[[ed in the video above), EPs Taylor Sheridan, Blake Shelton, David C. Glasser, Lee Metzger, and Keith Urban, and CBS's The Road is not down to nine musical contestants. Before the credits rolled on S01E03: "The Factory, Dallas, TX, Part 2," Cassiday Daniels got the good news that she had locked down the highest rating from the audience, with Daniels praised for her ability to connect with the audience. The same couldn't be said for Jon Wood and Forrest McCurren, who found themselves in the bottom two.
"I think you both had really good moments. As far as getting that crowd going, it was hard for you, Jon, because you were the first out of the gate, but I think you held your own. Forrest, I think you're such a good storyteller. Your original tonight, particularly, with the opening lyrics … any crowd is going to be in," Urban shared with the duo, before announcing that McCurren had made the cut and Wood would be riding off into the sunset. This week, the road leads to S01E04 "Oklahoma Ranch, OKC, Part 1" – but for one musician, it might be the end of the line before the next song is sung. Here's a look at what's ahead:
