Pistol Annies’ CMA Entertainers In The Stadium Era: Speeds To Debut >page 4 How Big Venues Changed The Music

And a nuanced, unfamiliar story-song will hardly ever get played in that environment. “You can’t, because they can’t understand you,” says former CMA entertainer of the year Reba McEntire. “It’s not as intimate, and the sound’s not so good that you can understand every word.” Adapting instruments or delivery for a specific type of venue isn’t new. Ethel Merman-style belting was common in theaters in the early 20th century when microphones were not yet in regular use. became a country innovator by employing an to rise above the noise at rowdy honky-tonks in the 1940s and ’50s. And as a reverse example, both and have been known to sing quiet ballads a cappella without microphones at the 2,200-seat Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, just because the room’s acoustics allow it. But artists have to be strategic with ballads in large venues — particularly Chris Stapleton’s audience included WKHK Richmond, Va., PD Garret stadiums, as discovered with “Beer With Jesus.” Doll when he played Charlottesville on Nov. 3. From left: Universal Music “It is one of the coolest, most bone-chilling songs that I get to play, because Group Nashville vp promotion David Friedman, Stapleton and Doll. I’m in love with the lyrics of that song,” says Rhett. “But when you look out on the crowd, it’s like everybody’s got their phones up — now is the time they need to text their girlfriend or go refresh their beer. Not to say that it’s discouraging, but I’m trying to put together a show that when you get into that place and you get into your seat, you can’t help but to just be glued to the stage.” That doesn’t mean that ballads can’t work in a stadium or arena. But they fit best when they’re familiar enough that people can sing along — as they do with Bryan’s “Drink a Beer.” It doesn’t matter if the words are muddy and swirling around, since the audience knows the song and is participating in the moment. “All that swirling around, making it all the way to a back row of an arena, it probably accounts for why a lot of acts hit you with a big one, a big one, a big one, fast in tempo, a big one, big one, then they get everything down to one slow song,” says Bryan’s producer, Jeff Stevens. “One song that may have a Syndicated iHeartMedia personality Bobby Bones (left) and dance message and then — bam! — they’re back at it again.” partner Sharna Burgess delivered a Viennese waltz as But what happens in stadiums doesn’t stay in stadiums. When Jake Owen performed “Can’t Help Falling in Love” on ABC’s Dancing With the toured minor league baseball parks this summer, it coincided with his hit “I Stars on Nov. 5. Was Jack (You Were Diane),” a reworked tribute to the John Mellencamp rock anthem “Jack & Diane.” It demonstrates how the needs of the live venue influence decisions in the recording studio and, in turn, what ends up being marketed to the public. “Getting out there in a concert, I selfishly enjoy playing song after song after song after song that just make people feel good,” says Owen. “Those tend to be the songs that I resort to recording, which end up being the ones that are on the radio.” There’s an irony in the whole development. launched the first successful country tour of stadiums 20 years ago with a set dominated by ballads and midtempos. About two decades before that, became one of the first country artists to consistently work arenas, filling the rafters with love songs such as “” and story-songs “The Gambler” and “Lucille.” “It’s not so much of a listening fest anymore, as it’s a selfie fest sometimes,” Tenille Arts stopped in at the Academy of Country Music’s headquarters says Nashville Hall of Fame inductee Byron Hill (“Fool Hearted during a recent swing through Los Angeles. From left: ACM CEO Pete Memory,” “Nothing On but the Radio”) in comparison. “It’s more about the Fisher, Arts, ACM junior staff accountant Mary Pambukyan and Reviver girlfriend being out there on the guy’s shoulders woo-hooing. It’s the party. It’s Entertainment Group vp promotion Jim Malito. the scene more than the artist just standing there in the old way and singing stories — Kenny Rogers’ kind of approach, the great storyteller thing. You don’t see a lot of that anymore.” Indeed, the stadium experience is the antithesis of a calm crooner quietly walking the stage. “With every stadium, there are so many challenges to get through the show,” says Bryan. “Each stadium sounds different. I’m 100 yards in front of the speakers, I’m hearing things at different times. It’s like being in a washing machine for two hours and you just try to come out with all your limbs intact.” The 2018 CMA entertainer of the year candidates — including Chesney, who, ironically, is choosing to avoid stadiums next year — have all impressed voters enough in those circumstances to warrant a nomination in the stadium era. Even Stapleton, who most closely embodies Rogers’ stand-and-deliver presentation, makes music that’s sinewy enough to fire up a big crowd.

Coming two days after the release of his sophomore album, Experiment, the “Heaven”-sent attention highlighted what appears to be an extended transitional period for country, with its increasingly fluid styles and evolving options for artist development. “There are so many unique things about Kane,” said McGinn before the awards. “It’s a nonconventional country trajectory, just because radio didn’t initially break him. He had a fan base pre-radio, which is amazing, and I don’t know this for a fact, but I feel like a lot of those people don’t necessarily listen to country music. So he’s got one fan base, and then once he broke on country radio he’s got a whole new fan base. There are two different wells that he’s dipping from.” And one “Heaven” that seems to work for both.

Luke Bryan Mines His Georgia Roots And Peanut Dust For ‘What Makes You Country’

Nearly every genre — be it country, jazz, bluegrass, blues or R&B — has an helped personalize the song for both Bryan and Davidson, who still maintains internal debate, a sort of unofficial litmus test about what music and artists three rows of it in the backyard at his home in Nashville’s tony Belle Meade fit within its boundaries. neighborhood. And a reference to “a little green-eyed girl from Jackson” is Through the years, those limits have been tested in country circles by acts actually a veiled shout-out to Davidson’s Australian-born wife, Natalia. such as Tom Jones, Bon Jovi, Dan Seals and even LaToya Jackson, all of “All these songs I’ve written for Luke, I always have to put [in] blue eyes whom established pop careers before attempting at least one country single because of [Bryan’s wife, Caroline], so I had to give one for my wife on that or album. Individual singles by country performers like one,” says Davidson. “ ‘The green-eyed girl’ — the ‘G’ ’s “Stranger in My House,” ’s alliteration — sings so good, but I know in my mind I was “Danny Boy” and Luke Bryan’s “That’s My Kind of thinking, ‘My wife’s going to love this line.’ ” Night” have raised the issue as well, with all of those Gorley produced a demo with a Southern rock edge tracks becoming hits in their time. that is no longer a stretch in the genre. Bryan is sensitive about the topic, and he defended “The rocking part, that’s just modern country music to his dirt-road cred with his best available skill set when me,” says Davidson. “That’s as country as we could have he wrote “What Makes You Country.” made that song. Lyrically, it’s like ‘Country Girl (Shake “I’m tired of people categorizing how country you may It for Me).’ People said, ‘Well, that song’s not country.’ or may not be, the subcategories of what country is and It’s like, ‘Really? Have you listened to the words? It’s so how country you are as a country music artist or how country I lost a tooth.’ ” country you are as an everyday person,” says Bryan. “I Producers Jeff and Jody Stevens directed the session just thought, ‘Heck, we’ll write a little song about it,’ try when Bryan cut “What Makes You Country” at Starstruck to encourage people just to be proud of whatever version Studios on Music Row on June 20, 2017, the same day of country they may — or may not — be and own that.” they recorded “Light It Up.” But it presented problems. BRYAN Bryan took that message to heart when he penned it The chord progression felt similar to some other songs in March 2017. The son of a peanut farmer, he infused they had recorded, and it needed a unique identity. The “What Makes You Country” with a string of images culled straight from country key became the interplay between two guitarists: Kenny Greenberg playing life in Southern Georgia: step-side pickup trucks, churches surrounded by oak arena-style power chords and J.T. Corenflos grinding out a curlicue lick that trees and the ultra-specific “peanut dust,” a bit of local color that he could not Stevens says is masterfully askew. have dropped into the song if he hadn’t experienced it firsthand. “It’s not that it’s difficult to execute, because I can play it,” says Stevens. “Working on a peanut farm and then a peanut mill, come harvest season, “It’s that slinkiness, that little edge of being out of tune. The thing about that is every car in Leesburg, Ga., was coated with peanut dust,” recalls Bryan. he actually knows how much he’s pulling it out of tune. He’s pulling it with his Fortunately, he had the right setup to explore the topic. Bryan hosted the fingers to make it sound that way, and it ends up sounding like it’s 1982, you’re writing session with (“Dirt on My Boots,” “Kick the Dust Up”) in a bar somewhere, and the guitar player is having the best night of his life.” and (“Boys ’Round Here,” “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every An arena-rock drum sound anchors the whole production. Day”), who was buddies with Bryan in Georgia. In fact, Davidson had moved “Greg Morrow really took the drums to almost like The Black Crowes,” back to his hometown for about six months, hoping he could balance his time says Bryan. “It’s just four on the floor — I think he called it a ‘knuckle dragger’ between his farmland roots and Nashville vocation. He has since abandoned — in your face, hardcore, and a nice blend between rock and country with a that idea, but he was in the heart of that experiment when they wrote “What very country lyric. It changed the whole dynamic of the song.” Makes You Country.” Bryan came back at a later date to do his final vocals, and he brought along Davidson flew up to Nashville in a private plane from Leesburg, headed out his manager, KP Entertainment owner Kerri Edwards, who played an atypical to Bryan’s house, wrote two songs and was back at his Georgia dinner table by role in a closing vamp. 7 p.m. the same day. But by submerging themselves in their heritage, he was “He comes in and had mud up to his knees,” recalls Jeff Stevens. “We got able to reconnect Bryan with their shared past. to the end, and Luke always does ad-libs — whether you want them or not, “I got to really refresh Luke’s memory about the stuff we did and what he does them. On ‘What Makes You Country,’ he started singing different makes us country and how we grew up,” says Davidson. “A lot of that lyric things: ‘You do your kind of country, all doing our kind of country.’ Kerri was was us talking about that.” just jumping up and down. She’s throwing out lyrics at him, and he was trying Bryan already had a good idea about what the song should be — he previously stuff. She’s not usually in there, and she doesn’t usually do that. It was fun.” had mentioned the title and topic to his producer, Jeff Stevens — and they “What Makes You Country” became the title track to Bryan’s album, released hammered it out on acoustic guitars. They stacked the lyrics with authentic Dec. 8, 2017. It also provided a banner for his 2018 tour. But the song itself, pieces of Bryan’s past while acknowledging that the definition of country with autumnal references to high school football and hunting season, didn’t has a wide embrace. become a single until Oct. 15, when Capitol Nashville released it to country “If you’re a big-city lawyer but you have a little hunting camp outside of town radio through PlayMPE. or you go ride your horses and stuff like that, that’s being country enough, “It’s the right time,” says Bryan. and you ought to be proud of that,” says Bryan. “If you live in a double-wide “What Makes You Country” debuted at No. 54 on Billboard’s Country trailer in the middle of a pine tree orchard somewhere and you work for the Airplay chart dated Oct. 27 and vaults to No. 21 in its fourth week. As personal co-op, you need to be proud of that version of country, too.
