Crystal's First Single "Hold On" or "Farmer's Daughter"?

Early this month it was announced that the first single off Crystal Bowersox's debut album, "Farmer's Daughter", was going to be the Kara DioGuardi and Chad Kroeger penned song "Hold On", but now that may not be so true. Tonight Crystal is premiering the title track, "Farmer's Daughter" on The Mix (WTMX) in Chicago and she had tweeted earlier that she had been working on the music video for that song. A tweet from today hints that "Farmer's Daughter" may indeed be the new single from the album. There is also a remixed version of the title track on her MySpace page, and it sounds gorgeous, although I wonder how "radio friendly" it is. I assume the version they play on the radio will remove the "F-word" from the beginning like the version she sang on VH1. The VH1 version is still my favorite version of the song, since I like the added percussion, but I still think the version on MySpace has a little too much background vocals and instrumentation for my liking. Plus she seems to be singing it with more passion on the video than on the studio version. Her MySpace page shows the song has had over 2,700 plays since it was posted so hopefully it will be popular once it hits the radio as well.
