Abbott plowed band money into an advertising campaign in conjunction with the current album that saw it take out ads with college newspapers in select markets and buy spots on key radio stations in Texas as well as in markets out- side the region where the band was receiving airplay, such as City and .

In turn, the album generated top 20 sales in such markets as New York, San Francisco and Seattle where the band was otherwise unknown. “It’s a good time to be an independent artist,” Abbott observes. CASEY DONAHEW BAND Artists have traditionally used indie labels as a launching pad to the majors. Texas acts like Pat Green, Eli Young Band and Wade Bowen are all examples, for Eli Young Band’s Life at Best on iTunes will discover Donahew and Abbott but so are Elvis Presley, Vern Gosdin and Merle Haggard. in the “Listeners Also Bought” section, right along such mainstream acts as Donahew is skeptical of that path at this juncture in his band’s evolution. and Dierks Bentley.

The track appears on his final Curb disc, Emotional Traffic, released in January. That album was a coda for a contentious artist/label relationship that ended only after a judge declared McGraw a free agent in November 2011. McGraw had previously established his own label, StyleSonic, which released the 2006 “Flicka” soundtrack and the 2007 self-titled debut album by Halfway to Haz- ard. Thus, McGraw considered self-releasing future albums, though the Big Machine deal made more sense to him. “I just wanted to be around passion,” he said. “You can do this a lot of differ- ent ways, but I wanted to have the ability to do what I wanted to do, and have a partner who understood it and could get my music to the right places.
