Her breakthrough came when a fellow songwriter forwarded her YouTube video to Maroon 5’s Adam Levine. Levine signed Crane as the flagship artist on his new label, 222 Records—and invited her to sing on “Come Away to the Water,” their contribution to The Hunger Games ISSUE #25soundtrack. Currently serving as an opening act on Maroon 5’s tour, MMUSICMAG.COM Crane is also performing solo gigs to promote her new self-titled debut EP. Her musical goal is simple: “I want people to feel empowered and inspired.” right, Ashley Monroe W ASHLEY ozzi Crane; Jim R MONROE chneider, chneider, S ravis HOMETOWN: Knoxville, Tenn.

Although the deal fell through, she remained undaunted, scoring cuts with Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood, collaborating with the Raconteurs, Ricky Skaggs and Trent Dabbs, and lending her voice to projects by Wanda Jackson, Will Hoge and Train—all before becoming part of the Miranda Lambert-led trio Pistol Annies. Now signed to Warner Nashville, Monroe continues her solo career with Like a Rose. Produced by Vince Gill, the album includes nine songs co-written by Monroe. “We just got the band in a circle and started playing,” she says of the recording process. “Once we felt like we had a feel for it, I did my vocal live and never went back to do a second vocal.” She credits her collaborators for the album’s old-school vibe. “There was a buzz in the room,” she says. “We all had fun. It felt like a big old family.” 15 M mag 25_cs6.indd 15 3/4/13 6:53 PM ISSUE #25 M MUSIC & MUSICIANS MAGAZINE MARCH/APRIL 2011 M MUSIC & MUSICIANS MAGAZINE.

  • 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.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • If There's a Pedigree for a Modern Country Music Star, Then Angaleena
    If there’s a pedigree for a modern country music star, then Angaleena Presley fits all of the criteria: a coal miner’s daughter; native of Beauty, Kentucky; a direct descendent of the original feuding McCoys; a one-time single mother; a graduate of both the school of hard knocks and college; a former cashier at both Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie. Perhaps best of all the member of Platinum-selling Pistol Annies (with Miranda Lambert and Ashley Monroe) says she “doesn’t know how to not tell the truth.” That truth shines through on her much-anticipated debut album, American Middle Class, which she co-produced with Jordan Powell. Yet this is not only the kind of truth that country music has always been known for—American Middle Class takes it a step further by not only being a revealing memoir of Presley’s colorful experiences but also a powerful look at contemporary rural American life. “I have lived every minute on this record. My mama ain’t none too happy about me spreading my business around but I have to do it,” Presley says. “It’s the experience of my life from birth to now.” Yet the specificity of the album’s twelve gems only makes it more universal. While zooming in on the details of her own life, Presley exposes themes to which everyone can relate. The album explores everything from a terrible economy to unexpected pregnancies to drug abuse in tightly written songs that transcend the specific and become tales of our shared experiences. “I think a good song is one where people listen to a very personal story and think ‘That’s my story, too,’” Presley says.

  • Issue 431 Decent Exposure: Too Much TV? If It Seems Like Every Time You Turn on the TV There’S Another Awards Show, You’Re Right
    January 20, 2015, Issue 431 Decent Exposure: Too Much TV? If it seems like every time you turn on the TV there’s another awards show, you’re right. A quick, unofficial count reveals nearly 20 opportunities a year for artists to get valuable screen time on either country or all-genre shows. Add to that the myriad of daytime and late night talk shows and the number jumps to nearly 40. When is enough enough ... or even too much? Country Aircheck asked Sony/Nashville Chairman/CEO Gary Overton, Warner Music Nashville’s SVP/Publicity Wes Vause, Spalding Entertainment’s Clarence Spalding (Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts) and The Green Room Owner/Publicist Mary Hilliard Harrington (Aldean, Lady Antebellum) to find out how they create “must see TV” while protecting their artists from overexposure. “Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley get asked to All Saints: Mercury’s Canaan Smith (c) celebrates a day do everything under the sun,” says Overton. well spent at the Country Cares for St. Jude seminar with “I speak with their managers at least once a (l-r) The Country Club with Dee Jay Silver’s Keith Kaufman, Gary Overton week.
