Concerts from country’s most buzzed about new artists? Probably not unless you live in Longview, WA and listen to Washington Interstate’s 700W Class A KUKN (Cookin’ Country). Former Westwood One VP/ Programming and Longview native John Paul returned home as the station’s GM last year (CAW 7/21/14) and he’s using some big city radio tricks to shake things up. KUKN launched its quarterly New Faces Of Nashville concert series last December and it’s fast becoming the hottest ticket around while adding nicely to the station’s bottom line. Missing A Beat: “We just don’t get many shows,” Paul explains, citing Longview’s Blake Effect Show: Warner Bros./WMN’s Blake Shelton (c) with proximity to both Portland and Seattle. (l-r) the label’s Kevin Herring, iHeartMedia’s Maynard and “That’s where most people go. But we have Rod Phillips, WMN’s Kristen Williams, KWNR/Las Vegas’ JoJo Turnbeaugh and iHeartMedia’s Hartley Adkins and John Ivey at John Paul a beautifully restored vaudeville theater that’s been turned into a performing arts center and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. it made sense to consider renting it for some acoustic concerts.” Based on the population of KUKN’s service area (roughly 115,000; United We Band 36,000 within the city limits) and other considerations, Paul figured After the local shooting of a Navy sailor and four Marines July 16, the market could support four shows a year. iHeartMedia/Chattanooga SVP/Programming and WUSY PD Gator The venue is the 800-seat Columbia Theatre, a 90-year- Harrison had an idea to put together a small acoustic benefit show old landmark that has its own story.

A committee that included military personnel and representatives of the City of Chattanooga formed under the name Chattanooga Unite, meeting once a week to plan the date and the mission. “The families had already been through several memorials,” says Harrison. “But there wasn’t any kind of celebration of life.

  • 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.

  • Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country in Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘N’ Roll
    October 12, 2015, Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country In Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not a bad combo.” Nice, Kid Rock. But what are either without radio? Motor City call letters including WCSX, WRIF, WOMC, WKQI, WJR, WWWW and WYCD have become famous over the years with help from Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Steve Kostan and Arthur Penhallow, National Radio Hall of Famers Dick Purtan, J.P. McCarthy, Steve Dahl and Howard Stern, and Country Radio Hall of Famer Dr. Don Carpenter, to name a few. Not a bad pedigree. PPM market No. 12 is changing, though, especially with respect to Country. For starters, CBS Radio’s WYCD got its first direct challenger in four years when Cumulus Adult Hits WDRQ adopted the company’s Nash brand in late 2013 (Breaking News 12/13/13). And just a few weeks ago Carpenter ended his 10- year WYCD morning run, which led to other on-air changes at the station (CAT 8/5). Country Aircheck details some of those and checks WDRQ’s progress here. Write On: Rosanne Cash, Mark James, Even Stevens On The Market: Detroit – Rust Belt city or city on a and Craig Wiseman were inducted into the Nashville comeback? “Detroit is on a great comeback, but there was a time Songwriters Hall Fame last night (10/11) at the 45th Anniversary Hall of Fame Gala held at the Music City where people moved out of the market,” says Center.
