Thursday, October 6, 2016 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Marty Heddin !Sponsored By: Nightlife Entertainment Group Single: “Game Changer” Songwriters: !Casey Wood, Andi Johnson & Ken Johnson Hometown: !Garland, TX !Website: www.martyheddin.com Artist Bio: A true Texas troubadour with an old soul and a modern heart, Marty Heddin is perhaps one of the last great musical workhorses. Born and raised in Garland, Texas, Heddin started his love affair with music at a young age. He found his passion, his place and his voice, singing tenor in the local choir and immersing himself in country’s greatest records. Before long, Heddin was discovered while touring the state’s Opry circuit. His smooth, classic tone and full- throttle style caught the attention of Cowboys’ bandleader Bobby Smith and, well, the rest was history. Chances are, your favorite country singer has probably played with Marty Heddin & the Country Blues. As the house bandleader for Cowboys in Dallas, San Antonio, and Atlanta, he’s opened for everyone from Tim McGraw to Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney. He’s showing no signs of slowing down, readying his irst six-song EP produced by one of Nashville’s biggest hitmakers, Keith Stegall. Like the best of George Strait, Vince Gill and Alan Jackson, it’s an up-tempo twang with a heavy dose of Southern soul and plenty of rock ’n' roll energy !without losing even a second of its Texas swing. Marty Fun Fact: One of the irst songs I ever sang at an opry was “Here in the Real World” by Alan Jackson, produced by Keith Stegall. Twenty-ive years later, Stegall is now my producer.

    August 1 2016, Issue 510 Bud & Broadway On The Move Taking a morning show on a remarkable journey from market No. 188 to No. 22 was all part of the five- (and-a-half) year plan for WIL/St. Louis’ Bud & Broadway.

In 2010, WTVY/Dothan, AL PD Jerry Broadway brought in Bud Ford for afternoons. “After he and I met and started hanging out, we figured out pretty quick that we should be doing a morning show together,” says Broadway. “I was already on the morning show, and an opportunity came up to add a partner, and I decided Bud was going to be that guy.” Don’t Be Your Own Boss: The two tapped prodigious programming experience – Ford’s includes WKDF/Nashville – and aimed to create a show either would hire.

CA: How did you end up in the music business? MS: I worked as a CPA in New York for a big accounting firm. Back in that day with those jobs, you hoped one of your clients would hire you. I had a friend who worked on the acquisition of Island Records by Polygram, went there and basically had a job for me. I was 26 years old, got a $3,000 raise and I could wear jeans to work. I came home and said, “I think I want to do this.” I wasn’t a musician and didn’t want to be in the music business, necessarily. But I went to work for Matt Signore Island and ultimately Island/Def Jam on the business side. How did you meet Espo?

  • Gender on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, 1996-2016
    Watson. Manuscript. Gender on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, 1996-2016 Jada Watson (University of Ottawa) [email protected] In May 2015 radio consultant Keith Hill revealed that country radio programmers have strict rules on how many female artists can be included in airplay rotation. Referring to females as the “tomatoes” of the country salad, Hill’s remarks have sparked debate about gender-representation in country music. This paper examines gender-related trends on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart between 1996 and 2016, aiming to investigate how female artists have performed on the charts over this two-decade period. Analyzing long-term trends in frequency distribution, this study uses statistical results to unpack assertions made about women’s marginal status in country music. Keywords: country music; gender; Billboard charts; radio Introduction: #TomatoGate In a 26 May 2015 interview with Russ Penuell of Country AirCheck on the subject of country radio scheduling and ratings, consultant Keith Hill spoke candidly about how female artists factor into the format’s airplay rotation: If you want to make ratings in Country radio, take females out. The reason is mainstream Country radio generates more quarter hours from female listeners at a rate of 70 to 75%, and women like male artists. I’m basing that not only on music tests from over the years, but more than 300 client radio stations. The expectation is we’re principally a male format with a smaller female component. I’ve got about 40 music databases in front of me and the percentage of females in the one with the most is 19%.

  • Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol
    Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol For more than 25 years Alan Jackson’s music has provided a soundtrack for American life. Whether someone is plowing a Kansas field or toiling away in a factory in an urban metropolis, Jackson’s songs have chronicled the hopes, dreams and values of everyday people. Hits like “Remember When,” “Drive” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” have become an enduring part of America’s musical landscape, but Jackson’s restless creative spirit won’t let him sit on his considerable laurels. With Angels and Alcohol, Jackson’s first studio album of new music in three years, he continues to deliver the kind of insightful and thoroughly engaging songs that have long been the foundation of his successful career. From the pensive title track to the up-tempo first single, “Jim and Jack and Hank,” Jackson takes the listener on an emotional journey. “I’ve always got my eyes and ears open for ideas, melodies and things,” Jackson says. “I keep a running list of good hooks and titles, and if I have a melody that I come up with now, I just put it on my phone so I won’t forget. If I get inspired by something, I’ll sit down and write a whole song right away, but most of the time I just collect ideas and hooks and melodies and eventually I’ll get around to writing it.” Jackson’s observational skills have served him well throughout his 25-year career. The Newnan, Georgia native has sold nearly 60 million albums and released more than 60 singles with 50 landing in the top ten and 35 soaring all the way to No.
