Country-leaning American Idol champ Carrie Underwood’s third album Play On comes out on Nov. 3, and the first single has been released to radio; instead of taking the uplifting route of “So Small,” the lead single from her previous album Carnival Ride, “Cowboy Casanova” is a swaggering track in the style of her megacrossover hit “Before He Cheats.” Only this time, Underwood casts herself as the sage warning women away from the “snake with blue eyes” referred to in the title. Having an opening that very explicitly recalls the creepy glam-rock star Gary Glitter’s unstoppable stadium anthem “Rock And Roll, Part 2″ certainly underscores the song’s “be careful out there” message! Embed after the jump.
