As country writers have increasingly created songs by using chord progres- sions that repeat through loops they store on laptops, the foundation of those songs has become more stagnant. And that’s part of what might be at work in the surge of nonstandard chords. A few writers are returning to and discovering that when they’re not locked into a loop, they have freedom to inject a fresh sound when it fits. “The tracks are still obviously very prevalent and should be because they’re fantastic,” says (“7 Summers,” “Never Be Sorry”). “I love writing with track guys, but I think you’re also getting more guys, when they have a day to not write with a track, they’re maybe getting a little more adventurous musically.” At the same time, those “out-of-town chords,” as Dawson has called them, can allow some songs to grow beyond country. And as streaming has made Tim McGraw (right) shows off a cup he decorated for wife Faith Hill the consumer more conscious of songs that fit a particular attitude rather during a Sept. 23 appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! than a particular genre, it has made country writers willing to think beyond the three chords that have historically supported their truth. “All the country sessions I’ve been doing lately, there’s very little policing — like, ‘No, I can’t do that’ — right now,” says Los Angeles-based songwriter Sean Douglas (“I Should Probably Go To Bed,” “Die a Happy Man”). “In fact, I think people are kind of excited to try and discuss [new things] lyrically, soni- cally, chordally, all that stuff.” Dan + Shay’s Dan Smyers confirms that expansive attitude when he consid- ers the second chord in the repeating undercurrent of “I Should Probably Go To Bed.” “That major three allows you to kind of get funky on the thing,” he says. “It gives it that classic Beatles, Beach Boys kind of feel. It feels quirky, unsettled, maybe a little bit introspective.” But injecting those atypical sounds can put a country song on an outbound Indie act Texas Hill performed a handful of songs during a Sept. 22 trajectory, as Dan + Shay found with “Speechless,” which took an uncommon virtual office visit with Billboard Nashville personnel.
