June 13, 2007 — Jake Owen's "Startin' With Me" marks the first Top 10 single of his career. The song, which was co-written by Jake, Kendall Marvel and Jimmy Ritchey, tells the story of a man who has made countless mistakes and wants to start his life over by changing the one thing he can — himself.

"I am so overwhelmed," Jake said. "It wasn't that long ago that I was playing in a college bar, and now to see my name on the top of the country charts with my heroes like Alan Jackson and George Strait — it is the most unbelievable feeling."

Jake enjoyed a Top 15 hit with "Yee Haw" from his debut album, Startin' With Me last year. He is currently opening the 2007 Alan Jackson/Brooks & Dunn Tour.
