Stevens had serious musical talents (he worked as a studio musician-background singer on recordings by Elvis Presley, Faron Young and Leroy Van Dyke), but his flair for comedy — demonstrated by “Ahab the Arab,” “Shriner’s Convention” and “The Streak” — made him a quasi- bridge between early country’s vaudevillian aspirations and contemporary country’s more subtle approach to humor. Brooks & Dunn helped move the genre’s stage presentation forward. Their incorporation of confetti machines and inflatable figures that towered 20-30 feet above them let their high-amperage brand of music touch even fans in Kane Brown (center) met up with KASE/KVET Austin PD Anthony Allen venues’ upper reaches as country concerts expanded in the 1990s from a stand- when his Live Forever Tour arrived at the HEB Center March 8.

Still, none of the innovations in the new Hall of Famers’ approaches would have succeeded if the music at the heart of their game plans wasn’t solid. “That’s been one of my favorite things through this Reboot process,” said Kix Brooks, referencing an April 5 album that revisits Brooks & Dunn’s catalog through collaborations with such newer faces as Thomas Rhett, Luke Combs and Kacey Musgraves. “People are talking about this music and how it stood the test of time. Nobody is talking about confetti and balloons and inflatables. We spent thousands of dollars making these big messes every night, and nobody’s talking about it. They’re talking about the music.” For Brooks & Dunn, that means a range of material from patriotic anthems (“Only in America”) and gospel life lessons (“Believe”) to honky-tonk dance tunes (“Boot Scootin’ Boogie”). For Stevens, that means bluegrass-tipped reinvention (“Misty”), relentless goofiness (“Gitarzan”), tongue-in-cheek Lee Brice (center) guested on NBC’s Today while in Charleston, S.C., on social commentary (“Would Jesus Wear a Rolex”) and that classic signature, March 8. He’s pictured with co-hosts Al Roker and Kathie Lee Gifford. “Everything Is Beautiful.” For Bradley, it’s a hand in the development or exposure of Parton’s “9 to 5,” Milsap’s “(There’s) No Gettin’ Over Me,” Presley’s “My Way” and Jennings’ collaboration with Willie Nelson, “Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” As was demonstrated by Stevens’ sale of his core Music Row property and the recent near-demolition of RCA Studio A (the building that formerly housed Bradley’s office), much about the conditions that surround music is up for frequent renewal. Buildings may disappear, the delivery platform is ever- changing, and the music makers themselves all eventually pass on. The Hall of Fame recognizes the work that endures. “It’s not the bricks and mortar,” said Bradley, emphasizing what’s in the heart and soul of Music Row. “It’s the people. It’s a songwriter with a hit song, it’s somebody that can sing, and it’s the world’s best musicians, and that comes Waterloo Revival played an acoustic set for WOKQ Portsmouth, N.H., out on a piece of tape or a CD or what have you, and that’s played all over listeners during a March 12 station visit.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • In Country Radio
    THEBEST PROGRAM DIRECTORS IN COUNTRY RADIO hey are some of the most important names in Nashville, and across the Country radio fruited plain. They are on a first-name basis with country music’s biggest stars and Nashville’s most important executives. Why? Because radio is still the most important outlet for music to be played and heard, and the PDs on the pages that follow carry around the keys to the radio stations country music fans love most. The relation- tship between country stars, Country PDs, Country radio stations, and the country music fans is like none in any other format. If you’ve ever attended a Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, you know exactly what we mean. The stars mingle with the programmers, great relationships are formed, and a lot of artists and PDs talk or text on a regular basis. And being one of the Best Country Program Directors is much more than mingling with the stars. A successful Country PD has to execute the format flawlessly in markets where there is typically more than one station compet- ing for country fans. A successful Country PD has to have an ear for the music, and be willing to take chances on a new song or new artist. A successful Country PD has to nurture relationships with label executives in Nashville who now have more outlets than ever to get their music to the masses. And a successful Country PD must serve the local community, which is one of the hallmarks, along with strong ratings, of a consistently successful Country radio station.

  • Top Performers
    BLAKE, MAREN, FGL, LUKE COMBS LEAD 2017 AIRPLAY an life get much better for Blake Shelton? He anchors one of TV’s top shows, headlines concert dates, has a No. 1 album, and is now the 2017 Country radio airplay leader. CShelton’s 2017 airplay totals propel him to both the top Overall Performer and Top Male spots, driven by a pair of songs – “A Guy With A Girl” and “Every Time I Hear That Song” – that spent three weeks at No. 1. A third single – “I’ll Name The Dogs” – was in the Top 5 as 2017 came to a close. Adding to Shelton’s totals were four cuts from his new album Texoma Shore that charted the week of its release, though he would have topped airplay even without the points generated by those cuts. THEYEAR Florida Georgia Line’s trio of 2017 hits extend Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley’s dominance in INMUSIC the Duo/Group Performer category to fi ve years. They’re also the only non-solo male artist to make this year’s Top 10 Overall airplay performers. The Blake Shelton meteoric rise of Maren Morris continued in 2017. Airplay from “80s Mercedes” and “I Could Use A Love Song” vaulted her to the most-heard female artist of the year. Adding to her Country radio presence this year was a featured performance on the No. 1 single “Craving You” with Thomas Rhett. (Airplay points for that song are not included in Morris’ totals.) This year’s Top New Artist title goes to Luke Combs.

  • Smoke Detectors
    Smoke Detectors Smoke detectors are devices that are mounted on the wall or ceiling and automatically sound a warning when they sense smoke or other products of combustion. When people are warned early enough about a fire, they can escape before it spreads. Facts Every year thousands of people die from fires in the home. Fire kills an estimated 4,000 American every year. Another 30,000 people are seriously injured by fire each year. Property damage from fire costs us at least $11.2 billion yearly. Most fire victims feel that fire would "never happen to them." Although we like to feel safe at home, about two-thirds of our nation's fire deaths happen in the victim's own home. The home is where we are at the greatest risk and where we must take the most precautions. Most deaths occur from inhaling smoke or poisonous gases, not from the flames. Most fatal fires occur in residential buildings between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. when occupants are more likely to be asleep. More than 90 percent of fire deaths in buildings occur in residential dwellings. Types of Smoke Detectors There are two basic types of smoke detectors: 1. Ionization Detectors The ionization detector is the most common type in use and generally less expensive to purchase at $5 to $20. They contain radioactive material that ionizes the air, making an electrical path. When smoke enters, the smoke molecules attach themselves to the ions. The change in electric current flow triggers the alarm. The radioactive material is called americium.
