Hayes looked toward songwriters like Guy Clark and John Prine for insight and inspiration when entering the studio for Still Just A Man..10 Years Later. He released Just A Man, in October 2004 and these new interpretations bring his life experiences to the songs, creating a depth of emotion and world view gained in the last ten years of singing, writing and living. The lead track, Soundtrack, is the first songs Hayes ever wrote, his ode to music that moves us, inspires us and encourages us daily. The collection is Country, Folk and a little soft Rock, with skillful vocal delivery by the artist. Leave My Heart(Before You Go) is a standout Country selection. Just A Man, a soulful and haunting melody with beautiful instrumentation. Seven of the eight tunes were written by Hayes. He has included one cover song here, You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere by the legendary Bob Dylan. As a songwriter, Hayes is very gifted at painting a picture with clever lyrics. Born in Brownsville, Tennessee with a passion for music, he quickly found his way to the music scene in Memphis. Hayes and his band The Retrievers, have enjoyed growing regional success both in live shows and internet play since 2006. Bryan most recently finished recording his fourth studio album, a collection engineered and produced by Nashville-based Grammy winner, Andy Hunt. Track List Soundtrack What Is Gone Mississippi Parts Sold Separately Leave My Heart (Before You Go) You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere Just A Man Greatest Generation Bill Wence Songs That Make Me Think About You Album Bill Wence caught the music fever as a young kid in Salinas, California and enjoys it with great passion to this day. He met Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent when Wence was fifteen years old. When just a high school Junior, he began touring as Country Music legend Bobby Bare’s pianist. He got his own band together and played from LA to Alaska in the 60’s and moved to Nashville in the 70’s. He wrote charting hit songs for the next two decades, toured with Tom T Hall and others, took a spin at NPR and was one of 30 Founding Members of the Americana Music Association. Today, this tremendous talent is still touring with Bobby Bare and Wanda Jackson and found time to write some original songs which he included here on this great collection of tunes, Songs That Make Me Think About You. The lead track is so fun, a traveling lover who is a bit overzealous about contacting his lady. Entitled 555-2109, the melody is catchy and the chorus begging to be sung. Written by Mike Dekle and Bryon Hill. Wonderful harmonica on this one. Thank You Girl is the first original in the line up, uptempo and heart felt lyrics, well sung and well penned by Wence and Dan Willis. The title track shows up at number five, a nice little surprise edge and performed with just the right passion. Nathan Adam Johnson wrote Songs That Make Me Think About You in 2007. Great vocal arrangements do justice to a haunting selection, Rearview Mirror by Phil Christie. Produced by Bill Wence and Joe Funderburk, recorded at Creative Workshop in Berry Hill, Tennessee.

Country Aircheck got the consensus on last night’s (4/19) 50th ACM Awards from some folks in radio. KFDI/Wichita APD Carol Hughes: I about fell off my sofa when they opened the show with “Pledge Allegiance To The Hag.” They included songs that would never be on an awards show. Jason Aldean’s medley was fantastic. I loved the Milestone Awards. Those artists were not just brought onstage as a courtesy but they were showcased in a wonderful way and given a huge spotlight to show just why they were Milestone winners.

    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.

CA: You’ve had some time to process the show and maybe decompress. What are your Robert Deaton thoughts in hindsight? RD: A lot of credit needs to be passed around because there are so many people – starting with the artists – who make it happen, but I feel like this was our best effort. Going into the show, what I really wanted to do was not compromise at all with Pub Scouts: EMI Nashville’s Eric Church buddies up with the backstage crowd at last week’s Chief Deconstructed show at Joe’s Pub in Chicago.

    November 3, 2014, Issue 421 Old Milwaukee’s Best: WMIL There aren’t many Country radio stations that pull numbers like iHeartMedia’s WMIL/Milwaukee. The August 2014 PPM saw the 30-year heritage station post its best ratings yet when it went 11.9 Persons 6+ with a weekly cume of 510,800. September was almost as good with an 11.6. The closest competition was Journal News/Talk WTMJ-AM with an 8.7. Country Aircheck reached out to 25-year ‘MIL PD Kerry Wolfe to find out what’s in the water in America’s 38th largest radio market. Going Rates: “It’s number one in almost every demo,” says Wolfe. “You have to look real hard to find a place it’s not number one – men, women, young, old.” He’s right. WMIL led the market in September with Persons 18-34 (12.7) and 25-54 (10.6), Wolfe shares. The station’s closest competitor in the 18-34 arena was Entercom Top 40 WXSS (9.2), while Saga Musical Wares: SESAC Nashville names Jerrod Niemann’s Rock WHQG had that distinction 25-54 (7.6). “Drink To That All Night” Song of the Year at last night’s That three-point spread between ‘MIL and its (11/2) Music Awards.

Children begin their consumer journey in infancy. And they certainly deserve consideration as consumers at that time. – James U. McNeal | Pioneering Youth Marketer [TITLE SCREEN] Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood NARRATOR: Not since the end of World War II, at the height of the baby boom, have there been so many kids in our midst. There are now more than 52 million kids under 12 in all in the United States – the biggest burst in the U.S. youth population in half a century. And for American business, these kids have come to represent the ultimate prize: an unprecedented, powerful and elusive new demographic to be cut up and captured at all costs. There is no doubt that marketers have their sights on kids because of their increasing buying power – the amount of money they now spend on everything from clothes to music to electronics, totaling some 40 billion dollars every year. But perhaps the bigger reason for marketers’ interest in kids may be the amount of adult spending that American kids under 12 now directly influence – an astronomical 700 billion dollars a year, roughly the equivalent of the combined economies of the world’s 115 poorest countries. DAVID WALSH: One economic impact of children is the money that they themselves spend – the money that they get from their parents or grandparents, the money that they get as allowance; when they get older, the money that they earn themselves.

    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.
