Beyoncé Shares ‘Cowboy Carter’ Album, Featuring A Bevy Of Country Artists

March 29, 2024/by LB Cantrell

Beyoncé‘s highly-anticipated country album is here at last. The 27-track Cowboy Carter was released today (March 29), and it highlights the talents of multiple country artists.

Country legend Willie Nelson makes an appearance on “Smoke Hour,” and he contributes spoken word on “Smoke Hour II.” Another icon Dolly Parton is also prominently featured, including with a cover of her iconic “Jolene.” Beyoncè’s version twists the narrative—instead of begging Jolene not to take her man, she sings “I’m warnin’ you, don’t come for my man,” making for an exciting new take on the beloved track. Prior to “Jolene,” Dolly’s voice is heard on an interlude called “Dolly P,” where she says “You know that hussy ‘with the good hair’ you sing about? It reminded me of someone I knew back when.'”

The great Linda Martell, who is well regarded as the first commercially successful Black female artist in the country music, is also prominently featured on Cowboy Carter. She sings with Beyoncé alongside country-fusionist Shaboozey on the track “Spaghettii,” titled “Spaghettii” with two I’s to signify second installment of the Renaissance project. She also contributes spoke word to the interlude “The Linda Martell Show.”

On track two, the brilliant talent of four rising Black female country artists is highlighted with a cover of the Beatles‘ “Blackbird.” The new recording features Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts.

Country riser Willie Jones appears on “Just for Fun.” In addition to “Spaghettii,” Shaboozey is featured on “Sweet Honey Buckiin’,” which also includes lyrics from Patsy Cline‘s “I Fall To Pieces.”

Country-adjacent artists are also featured on Cowboy Carter, fueling the pop culture moment that has country music in the spotlight. Post Malone, who is working on his country album, sings with Beyoncé on “Levii’s Jeans.” Miley Cyrus joins her on “II Most Wanted.”

The album’s lead single “Texas Hold ‘Em” continues to rise at country radio. Its success on streaming platforms made Beyoncé both the first Black woman to top Hot Country Songs and the first Black woman to send a country song to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

March 29, 2024/by John Nix Arledge

Morgan Wallen reaches the top spot on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart again this week with “Man Made A Bar” featuring Eric Church. The tune reached the top of the MusicRow chart in early March.

“Man Made A Bar” appears on Wallen’s One Thing At A Time album and is written by Rocky Block, Jordan Dozzi, Larry Fleet and Brett Tyler.

Wallen is currently headlining his “One Night At A Time” tour supported by a rotating lineup of guests. Meanwhile, both Wallen and Church are hard at work preparing their bars on Nashville’s lower Broadway. Wallen’s six-story establishment, named after his song, “This Bar,” will open later this year, and Church is set to open his new restaurant and live music venue, Chief’s, on April 5.

“Man Made A Bar” currently sits at No. 2 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and No. 2 on the Mediabase chart.

DISClaimer Single Reviews: Zac Brown Band ‘Welcomes Us To Summer Fun’

March 28, 2024/by Robert K Oermann

Spring has sprung, and country music has a treatment for those pollen allergies.

Head for a windy seashore: That’s what our Zac Brown Band is prescribing in its “Tie Up” song. This week’s Disc of the Day is the introductory song of summer 2024.

Also bringing wafting breezes to the season are Lacy J. Dalton, The Frontmen, Sam Hunt and the duet by Jordyn Shellhart & Donovan Woods. The last-named was actually my favorite record today, but I fear that it might be way too creative for intelligence-insulting terrestrial country radio.

And speaking of creative, lend your ears to Wardel, whose zephyr of sound wins a DISCovery Award.

JORDYN SHELLHART & DONOVAN WOODS / “Search My Name”
Writers: Ava Suppelsa/Donovan Woods/Jordyn Shellhart/Robyn Dell’Unto; Producer: Cameron Jaymes; Label: Warner Music Nashville
– Utterly enchanting. Their voices harmonize and intertwine amid a sonic swirl of electronic flavors. Their singing, the fever-dream song and the production are all wonderfully innovative. Essential listening.

SAM HUNT / “Locked Up”
Writers: Jerry Flowers/Josh Osborne/Sam Hunt/Shane McAnally/Zach Crowell; Producers: Zach Crowell/Chris LaCorte/Jerry Flowers/Sam Hunt; Label: MCA Nashville
– He made some bad decisions and wound up in the slammer. But she stood by him, and that’s when he knew that she was The One. Hunt scores again with this mid-tempo tune that name-checks Tammy Wynette in its lyric.

DON LOUIS / “Long Time Comin’”
Writers: Demetric Jennings/Kaleb Jones; Producer: Serg Sanchez; Label: Money Myers Entertainment LLC/EMPIRE
– Don Louis is a hunk who was a defensive end football standout during his school days. The Texan’s vocal style is straight-up country with a tiny hint of rasp. His debut single is an ode about a struggling musician who perseveres despite the difficulties. An oomphy production underscores his earnest delivery. Recommended.

ZAC BROWN BAND / “Tie Up”
Writers: Jonathan Singleton/Ben Simonetti/Chris Gelbuda/Josh Hoge/Zac Brown; Producers: Zac Brown/Ben Simonetti; Label: Home Grown Music/Warner Music Nashville
– This loping, easy-going groove welcomes us to summer fun. Get on the water, pop a top when you dock the boat and relax in the sunshine. I can feel the warm weather already.

LACY J. DALTON / “Bonny Doon”
Writer: Lacy J. Dalton; Producer: Dino Nikolas; Label: Time-Life Music
– Dalton’s new Listen to the Wind collection contains new interpretations of her greatest hits alongside this folkie new ballad. While guitars gently strum, she sings of rejection, resignation and restoration. Soothing and peaceful.

RILEY GREEN / “Way Out Here”
Writers: Casey Beathard/David Lee Murphy/Josh Thompson; Producers: Dann Huff/Scott Borchetta/Jimmy Harnen; Label: BMLG Records
– We smoke, chew and fry everything. We like being rednecks with guns. Our trucks are dirty. We are backwoods and proud of it. There you have it.

MEGAN MORONEY / “28th Of June”
Writers: Ben Williams/Mackenzie Carpenter/Megan Moroney/Micah Carpenter; Producer: Kristian Bush; Label: Columbia Nashville/Columbia Records
– She’s enduringly creative. In this outing, a too-soon wedding falls apart and she’s heartbroken. The ache in her delivery is exquisite, and her lyric is plain-spoken, homespun poetry.

HUNEYFIRE / “Feeling Gray”
Writers: Caitlin Evanson/Cheaza Figueroa/Denny Mishler/Marriana Nevarez/Michael Vittima/Stephen West; Producers: Cheaza Figueroa/Jason Pennock; Label: Double Decades Entertainment
– The Afro-Latina, mother-daughter duo returns with a slow, bluesy jam. It’s a lost-love lament that gradually builds, stacks and mixes their vocal tracks. Highly listenable.

THE FRONTMEN / “Beatles And Eagles”
Writers: Ben Daniel/Larry McCoy/Riley Thomas; Producer: Mickey Jack Cones; Label: Broken Bow Records
– The Frontmen are Richie McDonald (Lonestar), Tim Rushlow (Little Texas) and Larry Stewart (Restless Heart). The new single from their new album shows that these voices of the ‘90s still have charisma. The lyric imaginatively quotes song titles immortalized by the two iconic bands of the title. Break out the vinyl!

THE WAR AND TREATY / “Stealing A Kiss”
Writers: Michael Trotter Jr./Tanya Trotter; Producer: Michael Trotter Jr; Label: UMG Nashville
– Sultry and swampy, this gives off heat as a soul ballad of passion. Searing organ notes, funk guitar, piano accents and gospel-y background vocals support their customary sensational singing.

ASHLEY MONROE / “I Like Trains”
Writer: Fred Eaglesmith; Producers: Gena Johnson/Ashley Monroe; Label: AM
– Her languid reading of the fine lyric is sleepy and sensuous. The under-produced track features simple, dull, acoustic-guitar strumming.

WARDEL / “Sleepless in Seattle”
Writer: Noah Gunderson; Producer: Idrise Ward-EL Jr; Label: Epochal Artists Records
– Idrise Ward-El Jr. is the offspring of a Mr. USA body-building champion. Both father and son are military veterans, and Ward-El Sr. is a Desert Storm veteran. Junior competed on The Voice as R&B stylist “Idrise” and is now transitioning into country music under his new “Wardel” billing. This single is a gentle, whispered lament for a fading city and a lonely guy. Wardel’s vocal has a sensitive, plaintive, folk quality that is quite attractive.

Industry Celebrates Parmalee’s Fourth No. 1 Hit

Industry members and artists came together for a special No. 1 party earlier this week when Broken Bow Records’ Parmalee celebrated their fourth career chart-topper, “Girl In Mine.”

The afternoon’s rain clouds parted and sun filled the foyer of BMI as friends, family and colleagues eagerly awaited BMI’s Mason Hunter to take to the podium. Gathered on stage were the song’s co-writers Ashley Gorley, Casey Brown, Travis Wood and Parmalee’s Matt Thomas along with fellow band members Scott Thomas, Barry Knox, Joshua McSwain and producer David Fanning.

Hunter began the event by warmly introducing the songwriters and band members, highlighting their remarkable achievements. He then turned the spotlight to Canada native Wood, acknowledging his impressive track record of nine No. 1 Canadian singles and now, his first No. 1 hit in the United States. “When you score your first No. 1 in Canada, do they give you a hockey puck?” teased Hunter. “Here in Nashville, we present you with a Taylor guitar. Here’s to many more No. 1s on that guitar!”

ASCAP’s Emilia James took the stage next, followed by SESAC’s ET Brown, who honored Brown with a guitar of his own. “One of the things I admire most about Casey, besides his obviously powerful and strong surname, is his unwavering dedication to his craft, which is matched only by his commitment to his family,” remarked Brown.

On deck to congratulate their writers were Reservoir Music Publishing’s Greg Gallo, Creative Nation’s Beth Laird, Tape Room Music’s Caroline Hodson, Sony Music Publishing’s Rusty Gaston, Studio Bank’s Ron Cox, Pinnacle Bank’s David DeVaul and Stoney Creek Record’s Adrian Michaels.

Gaston took to the mic in a whirl of enthusiasm to congratulate both Gorley and Thomas, “This is a remarkably special week for Gorley. As of this week, he has the No. 1 song in the U.S. and it is his 75th No. 1 song. What I want everyone to realize is that there is no songwriter ever before, in any genre or country, that has ever had as many hits as Ashley Gorley.”

Gaston continued on to congratulate Thomas by sharing a few of Gorley’s own quotes praising the band, or in his words, quotes from “the most successful songwriter in the history of music.” Finally, he closed in fashion befitting only “the reverend” himself, “Parmalee is our band, my band, your band and they are country music’s band. They are nominated for two CMT Awards coming up. Pull out your phones and vote for Parmalee! God bless everyone and God bless country music.”

After the whistles and applause died down, it was time to hear from the songwriters. Wood kicked things off saying, “This is the community I was really anxious to be a part of when I moved here, so to be here with you guys today is really special. I am thankful to be a Nashville songwriter and to be celebrating a No. 1 with you guys.”

Producer, songwriter and the band’s manager, Fanning, added, “While I am not as enthusiastic as Rusty, you guys go vote. Thank you for supporting [Parmalee] as we continue to elevate their career.”

Brown took the chance to thank his team and congratulate Wood on his first U.S. No. 1. He said, “Travis, I am so honored to be a part of your first. If I could put you up on DraftKings and bet a large sum of money that you would have about a million more of these, I would do it in a heartbeat.”

“I am just thankful to be a part of this,” said Gorley. “Thank you to my family for believing in me at home and also my family with Domain, Sony Music and Tape Room.”

Thomas closed, gesturing to his own family, “Speaking of family, I want to say thanks to my family for being here. My niece Charlotte actually wrote a song the other day sitting in my kitchen, and I said, ‘You can do this!'”

Parmalee’s frontman closed with, “We love our job, we love what we do and we love being in Nashville, so thank y’all.”

Country hitmaker Ashley Gorley has garnered his 75th No. 1 career hit with Hardy‘s “Truck Bed,” which he co-wrote with Hardy, Ben Johnson and Hunter Phelps.

Gorley’s record-breaking hit spree started in 2006 with Carrie Underwood’s “Don’t Forget to Remember Me.” Since then, Gorley has had over 400 songs released by artists such as Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Nate Smith, Thomas Rhett, Dan + Shay, Kelsea Ballerini, Cole Swindell, Bon Jovi, Weezer and more.

“This milestone is not only a testament to Ashley’s unstoppable work ethic, but his genius as a songwriter. The impact he has made and continues to make on country music cannot be overstated. We are thrilled to celebrate Ashley on his 75th number one and counting!” shares Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston, one of Gorley’s publishers alongside Domain Capital Group.

Gorley recently made history with the two longest-running No. 1 hits atop the Billboard Country Airplay chart with Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” and Smith’s “World On Fire,” which are tied for ten weeks at No. 1 on the chart. He also notched the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit by a solo artist in 2023 with Wallen’s smash hit “Last Night,” which spent 16 weeks at the top spot.

Gorley is a 10-time ASCAP Songwriter of the Year winner, a six-time Billboard Top Country Songwriter, six-time NSAI Songwriter of the Year and NSAI Songwriter of the Decade for 2010-2019. He was recently named Variety’s 2023 Songwriter of the Year at its prestigious Hitmakers event in Los Angeles. Gorley has secured multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM nominations and wins, including 2023 ACM Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year honors for Swindell’s “She Had Me At Heads Carolina,” and a 2024 Grammy nomination for Country Song of the Year for “Last Night.”

In addition to songwriting, Gorley also oversees a roster of 13 songwriters at his publishing company, Tape Room Music, which has celebrated over 45 No. 1s.

Of Gorley’s achievement, the company’s Blain Rhodes and Caroline Hodson share, “It’s an honor to work alongside this guy. He hustles every day and through it all, he continues to keep his family, friends and Tape Room writers as his priority. Congrats Ashley on this massive achievement!”

‘Deeper Well’ Gives Kacey Musgraves Her Biggest Career Sales Debut

March 25, 2024/by Madison Hahnen

Grammy award-winner Kacey Musgraves is seeing the biggest sales debut of her career so far with the release of her newest album Deeper Well. The project, released on March 15, is the biggest country album debut of 2024, and was the biggest selling album of the week during its release week.

Deeper Well is the Interscope/MCA Nashville recording artist’s fifth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The album also debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with over 97,000 equivalent album units, marking Musgrave’s fifth top 5 debut on the chart.

Musgraves also sold over 37,ooo vinyl copies of the record, making it the biggest vinyl sales week of 2024 and the biggest vinyl sales week of her career. Since Luminate tracking began in 1991, this also marks Deeper Well as the fourth largest week for a country album on vinyl.

Across the pond, Deeper Well received five UK Specialist No. 1 awards, and debuted at No. 3 on the official albums chart.

To kick off the release of the record, Musgraves performed on the Today Show live from New York City, and then traveled to Nashville for an album release show at the Ryman Auditorium. She also interviewed on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Howard Stern Show ahead of the release. Earlier in March, Musgraves made her third appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Musgraves will kickoff “The Deeper Well World Tour” on April 28 in Dublin, Ireland.

Opry Entertainment Group has promoted Dan Rogers to Senior Vice President & Executive Producer of the Grand Ole Opry from his current position as Vice President & Executive Producer.

Rogers will add new executive producer roles on additional upcoming domestic and international broadcasts, many related to the Opry’s 100th milestone next year. He will continue to oversee all programming aspects of the iconic Opry’s more than 200 performances annually and executive producer responsibilities for the Opry’s weekly Opry Live broadcast and live stream.

“We are thrilled to recognize Dan’s incredible impact on the Grand Ole Opry,” says Patrick Moore, CEO of Opry Entertainment Group. “Under his leadership, the Opry had a record-breaking number of artist debuts, with more diverse representation than ever before. Dan’s distinct vision for the Opry and the relationships he has built with Opry members and across the industry will be important as we approach the Opry’s 100th celebration in 2025.”

A native of Xenia, Illinois, Rogers received a B.S. in communication from the University of Evansville and an M.S.Ed. in educational psychology from Eastern Illinois University. He began his work with the Grand Ole Opry as an intern in 1998.

After being named Vice President & Executive Producer in 2019, Rogers led the Opry through COVID-19. He was the Executive Producer of the Opry’s album Opry Unbroken: Empty Room, Full Circle containing tracks recorded during the pandemic when the Opry played on to a worldwide livestream and radio audience despite not having a live audience in the Opry House.

Rogers also executive produced the NBC television special Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years Of Country Music and Dolly Parton’s 50th Opry anniversary special, also on NBC, and consulted on 2023’s inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards and Christmas at the Opry network broadcasts. He created, wrote, produced and co-hosted the radio series That Summer as well as additional specialty programs for WSM Radio and was a writer/production assistant on the syndicated radio show America’s Opry Weekend. He co-authored the Opry’s book Backstage At The Grand Ole Opry and authored an Opry-centric country music trivia book. Prior to his current Opry role, he worked in Opry areas including marketing, communication and strategic partnerships.

“My entire journey at the Opry has been in partnership with fellow staff members, treasured Opry members and guest artists, the country music industry and other partners who revere the Opry’s past and are passionately excited about paving a road toward its future together,” Rogers says. “I’m thrilled to continue our work in this new role, especially on the eve of the Opry’s 100th year when country music is making such a sustained and marked impact globally. Let’s roll.”
