LASAL, a label founded by producer and artist Samuel ASH, has revealed a strategic joint venture partnership with Capitol CMG. The companies hope to deliver inspiring music and messaging that combines faith-driven creativity and global reach.

The venture debuted yesterday (Jan. 30), with a unified mission to amplify artistry and champion diverse voices across all languages and cultures. Capitol will collaborate with LASAL in signing and developing artists.

“LASAL was founded to be more than just a record label; it’s a calling,” explains ASH. “In Spanish, LASAL translates to ‘The Salt,’ which adds flavor and restores balance within the body. That is our purpose: to restore balance in the music industry while allowing artists to freely express their creativity and faith without limits.

To commemorate the launch, ASH released his debut single, “DE LO MIO” on Jan. 17, with his album Entre Familia to follow at a later date. This release embodies LASAL’s transformative approach to music, bringing a sound and message that resonates worldwide.

Capitol CMG’s partnership offers decades of industry expertise and a global infrastructure to bring this music to the world stage.

DISClaimer Single Reviews: Miranda Lambert Is ‘At The Top Of Her Game’

The stars are out and they are shining brightly in this week’s roundup of country tracks.

Dan + Shay, Alison Krauss, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert and Rodney Atkins have all previously earned their spots in the country-music firmament. Any one of them deserves a Disc of the Day award. I’m going with Miranda Lambert, whose album Postcards From Texas is fine listening from start to finish. And that’s where you’ll find “Run.”

To teenager Ty Myers, we present a well-deserved DISCovery Award for this week.

TY MYERS / “Firefly”
Writer: Ty Myers; Producer: Brandon Hood; Label: RECORDS Nashville/Columbia Records
– Kinda dreamy, kinda lovestruck, kinda lovely. This young rookie sounds like he’s forging his own sound, his own style and his own artistry. Off the beaten path and simply lovely.

RODNEY ATKINS / “Marry Me Again”
Writers: Adam Craig/Jaxson Free/Jim McCormick/Rodney Atkins/Russell Sutton; Producers: Rodney Atkins, Ted Hewitt; Label: Curb Records
– Atkins returns with a soft, romantic ode to his wife. It has sincerity and heart, but could have used a little more production and oomph. If you listen carefully, that’s wife Rose Falcon, herself a formidable singer-songwriter, gently providing harmony vocals in the background.

CAMILLE PARKER / “Run Wild”
Writers: Camille Parker, Jack Schrepferman, Ried Sorel, Stephen Day; Producer: Jack Schrepferman, Sheux – Bear; Label: CP
– This “Next Women of Country” alumna bops brightly on this snappy celebration of being a free spirit. She sings with feisty power, sass and finesse while beefy percussion sets the pace.

RILEY GREEN / “Damn Good Day to Leave”
Writers: Erik Dylan/Jonathan Singleton/Nick Walsh/Riley Green; Producers: Dann Huff, Jimmy Harnen, Scott Borchetta; Label: Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment
– This snarky country-rocker has been knocking around the charts for months. It’s a witty kiss-off number—she’s gone, so now he has time to goof off as much as he wants. Green has always been a dandy country singer, and he sounds like your favorite good ol’ boy here. He is noted for his duets with Ella Langley, Luke Combs, Justin Moore, Thomas Rhett and Dustin Lynch, which gives you some idea of how well respected he is by his peers. Solo stardom is now en route.

THE CASTELLOWS & FLATLAND CALVARY / “Place They Call Home”
Writers: Cleto Cordero/Ellie Balkcom/Lily Balkcom/Powell Balkcom; Producer: Dwight A. Baker; Label: Warner Music Nashville/Warner Records
– Imaginatively written, the lyric is sung from the point of view of planet Earth as it addresses all of us. The tempo is jaunty, the mood is tender, the singing is fine. Fiddle and electric guitar solos add to the warmth.

ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION / “Looks Like the End of the Road”
Writer: Jeremy Lister; Producer: Alison Krauss & Union Station; Label: Down The Road Records
– Wistful, sad and haunting. The artfully poetic lyric almost seems like a suicide note. The mournful Jerry Douglas dobro notes underscore the mood of desolation and disillusion. Gorgeous listening.

BRYAN MARTIN / “Ain’t My Old Man”
Writers: Bryan Martin/Lee Thomas Miller/Nick Walsh; Producer: Nick Gibbens; Label: Average Joes Entertainment
– His hearty style previously came to prominence with the hit “We Ride.” Now Martin muses about his dad, insisting he’s  different than him, yet realizing he’s just like him when he looks in the mirror. Well written, well sung and perfectly produced. Play this.

MIRANDA LAMBERT / “Run”
Writer: Miranda Lambert; Producers: Jon Randall, Miranda Lambert; Label: Big Loud Records/Republic Records
– The thrilling, pumping production sets your pulse racing. The lyric of regret, deception and escape grabs your ear. Her voice, as always, rules your heart. An artist at the top of her game with a mini masterpiece.

SCOOT TEASLEY / “Gone to Dust”
Writers: John Townsend/Nicholas Sainato/Scoot Teasley; Producer: Nick Sainato; Label: Amigo Records
– His singing is warmly forceful and the percussion touches are ear catching on this depiction of the end of a relationship. The muscular production matches the potency of his performance of this midtempo rouser. I remain a fan.

DAN + SHAY / “Always Gonna Be”
Writers: Ashley Gorley/Dan Smyers/Jordan Minton/Shay Mooney; Producers: Dan Smyers, Scott Hendricks; Label: Warner Music Nashville
– Some things are forever. Rivers running, back porch swinging, radios playing country songs, beer drinking, Friday footballing, Sunday church going and being with the one you love. Sunny, sweet, heart-tugging and true, this rolls along like a soap box racer. Love this.

GEORGE BIRGE / “It Won’t Be Long”
Writers: Chase McGill/George Birge/Joe Fox/Trannie Anderson; Producer: Joe Fox; Label: RECORDS Nashville
– Believe this. Life might be crazy, unexpected, sweet, imperfect or unpredictable. Life might be a lot of things, but one thing’s for certain: It won’t be long. So love as hard as you can. Great song.

REBECCA LYNN HOWARD / “Heart Still Does”
Writers: Elisha Hoffman/Jenee Fleenor/Rebecca Lynn Howard; Producers: Elisha Hoffman, Lee Brice; Label: Pump House Nashville
– This hugely talented woman has long deserved major, major stardom. Her Appalachian twang, multi-instrumental abilities and songwriting talent are A-List attributes that have not been celebrated nearly enough. This rollicking, winking, good-time, funky, frisky ditty is an absolute delight. I am permanently in her fan club. So is Lee Brice, and Pump House is his label.

Rhett Akins, Mackenzie Carpenter & Johnny Clawson Join ‘Bob Kingsley’s Acoustic Alley’ Lineup

/by

Rhett Akins, Mackenzie Carpenter and Johnny Clawson will join previously announced performers Old Dominion and Tyler Hubbard at CRS 2025’s “Bob Kinglsey’s Acoustic Alley” on Feb. 20.

“Bob Kingsley’s Acoustic Alley,” hosted by Fitz from Country Top 40, honors the art of songwriting and showcases performances by some of the most skilled songwriters in the industry. To make the night even more special, Radio Ink will also present its “Top Country PDs” awards during the event.

Georgia native Akins launched his music career in 1994 with Decca Records, quickly gaining attention with two successful albums. His debut, A Thousand Memories (1995), included the No. 1 “That Ain’t My Truck,” followed by Somebody New (1996) and its chart-topping single “Don’t Get Me Started.” As a songwriter, Akins has achieved monumental success, writing over 36 No. 1’s for Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Dustin Lynch, Jon Pardi and more. He’s also had the honor of collaborating with his son, Thomas Rhett, co-writing several of his hits such as “It Goes Like This,” “Life Changes” and “What’s Your Country Song.” Throughout his career, Akins has earned numerous accolades, including the CMA Triple Play Award eight times, the ACM Songwriter of the Decade award and induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Hailing from Hull, Georgia, Carpenter fell in love with music as a child, writing songs with her brothers and singing in church. Now, as a singer-songwriter, she’s using her classic country voice to tell her story, backed by an ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners. Raised in a lively, supportive family full of back porch jams and juicy drama, Carpenter embraces the chaos and humor of life, finding beauty in the mess. She kicked off her career as a songwriter with Lily Rose’s 2021 hit “Villain” and has since co-written tracks like “I’m Not Pretty,” “Indifferent” and “28th of June” with Megan Moroney, all while launching her own artist career. After signing with The Valory Music Co. in 2022, she has earned a slew of accolades, including spots on MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Artists Class of 2025, Spotify’s Hot Country 2024 Artists to Watch, CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2023, and Nashville Briefing’s Artists to Watch 2023. She’s also opened for Miranda Lambert, Moroney, Jake Owen, Parker McCollum, Craig Campbell and Ryan Hurd.

Clawson, a Nashville-based songwriter and artist originally from Leesburg, Virginia, signed with SMACK Songs in 2022. He co-wrote Blake Shelton’s current single, “Texas,” along with Ella Langley’s “weren’t for the wind.” His songwriting credits also include tracks for Lauren Alaina, Chris Young, Seaforth, Jon Pardi, Michael Ray, Josh Ross and more. As an artist, his own releases, including “Time Is Money,” have gained notable attention, with the song being featured on Bobby Bones’ Top 30 Countdown.

Drake Hyde, winner of the Loot8 competition, a virtual singer-songwriter contest designed to discover up-and-coming country talent, will also take the stage.

BREAKING: Warner Chappell Nashville President & CEO, Ben Vaughn, Passes Away

/by

Ben Vaughn

Ben Vaughn, President & CEO of Warner Chappell Music Nashville, passed away this morning (Jan. 30). He was 49.

Vaughn spent over a decade at the helm of the company, overseeing all creative and commercial activities across A&R, administration, business development, finance and human resources. Vaughn also worked with staff songwriters, while actively engaging in songwriter advocacy and rights protection initiatives.

The news was sent to the Warner Music Group staff by Warner Chappell leaders Guy Moot and Carianne Marshall.

“Ben has led our Nashville team since 2012, and we know that many of you around the world got to know him over the years. Anyone who had the pleasure of working with him will be as shocked and saddened as we are,” they write. “First and foremost, Ben was an extraordinary human being. He met everyone with enthusiasm, warmth and generosity. His smile was huge, and his sense of humor was infectious.”

The full memo, obtained by MusicRow, is below.

Vaughn grew up in the small Kentucky town of Sullivan, home to just 500 people. A lifelong country music fan, he landed a job at his local radio station, WMSK, where he became obsessed with the liner notes in the CDs that arrived at the station’s office.

Determined to chase his country music dreams, he enrolled at Nashville’s Belmont University. While in school, he reconnected with his former middle school computer teacher, who had become a staff songwriter at Warner Chappell. She introduced him to Kurt Denny, who brought Vaughn on as an intern—marking the start of his publishing career.

Soon, Vaughn earned an internship at Warner Chappell’s partner company, Big Tractor Music. When the company’s leader unexpectedly left, 21-year-old Vaughn found himself in charge.

Scott Hendricks, Big Tractor’s owner at the time, was balancing his role as head of Capitol Records and producing major artists. He gave Vaughn six months to prove that he could lead the company, but warned that if he quit school, he would fire him. Vaughn not only succeeded in growing the small publishing company but also graduated from college.

After six years at Big Tractor, EMI approached Vaughn about a leadership position. He thrived at EMI, eventually running the creative department for seven years. At 34, he became the youngest executive to lead a major publisher in Nashville when he was named EVP and GM of EMI Music Publishing.

During a major acquisition of EMI companies, Vaughn was unable to stay on. After a six-month sabbatical, Warner Chappell tapped him to lead its Nashville office. Returning to the company where he had once been an intern, he reunited with colleagues who had witnessed his earliest days in publishing.

Under Vaughn’s leadership, Warner Chappell Nashville earned multiple Country Publisher of the Year honors from ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, achieving the prestigious Triple Crown in 2019 by sweeping all three PRO awards. His songwriters amassed 19 CMA, ACM, Grammy, or PRO Songwriter of the Year honors, 35 Song of the Year titles, and eight inductions into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Vaughn was a fierce advocate for songwriters in and outside of Nashville, whether they were affiliated with Warner Chappell or not. He often spoke of the plight of the craft and lended his expertise to those in the community.

Read his story in his own words here.

Vaughn is preceded in death by his wife, Carlee Ann Vaughn. He is survived by three children: Ruby, Griffin and Zeke. Services have not yet been announced.

To everyone at WMG,

It is with broken hearts that we share the unthinkable news that Ben Vaughn, President & CEO of Warner Chappell Nashville, passed away this morning. Our deepest condolences are with his family and many friends.

Ben has led our Nashville team since 2012, and we know that many of you around the world got to know him over the years. Anyone who had the pleasure of working with him will be as shocked and saddened as we are.

First and foremost, Ben was an extraordinary human being. He met everyone with enthusiasm, warmth, and generosity. His smile was huge, and his sense of humor was infectious.

He was always a passionate advocate of songwriters and a topflight music publisher. The Nashville community has lost one of its greatest champions, and he will be profoundly missed by so many across our company and the entire industry.

We are planning to visit the Nashville team very soon and thank you all for helping support them through this awful tragedy.

With love,
Guy & Carianne

Charley Crockett Unveils New Album ‘Lonesome Drifter’

/by

Grammy Award-nominee Charley Crockett has unveiled his new album Lonesome Drifter releasing March 14, his official debut for Island Records. Crockett will release the album’s title track and accompanying video tomorrow (Jan. 31).

The 12-track album was co-produced by Crockett alongside Grammy award-winning Shooter Jennings over the course of just 10 days at the legendary Sunset Sounds Studio in Los Angeles.

“Shooter and I barely talked about it,” shares Charley. “I just brought all of my guys out, and the album made itself. It was live without a lot of overdubs. There were no inhibitions. I wasn’t being judged, and I didn’t feel self-conscious. Shooter knew how to cut loose and let this thing unfold.”

His vision for the project comes to fruition in the first single and title track, “Lonesome Drifter.”

“I started writing the song back when I was still playing in subways in New York,” he recalls. “It’s how I learned to play electric guitar with an amp on my shoulder. While I was waiting for the next train, I wrote songs. A few years later, I was in California working on the ganja farms, and I came up with the ‘Lonesome Drifter’ section. When I arrived on the West Coast, I worked to stay out there as a drifter, so I could get away with playing music for a living. At night, I was doing heavy electric blues and hillbilly shit at local bars for six hours. Shooter got me back into that mindset. The burden of becoming a troubadour is you’re standing in a position that gives you a clear perspective of the struggles of humans. When all is said and done, everyone is just swinging a hammer to survive.”

For years, Crockett has quietly kept his head down and delivered music at a relentless pace, refining his “Gulf & Western” sound and evolving as both a songwriter and performer. All of that work paid off as he and Shooter prepared to record Lonesome Drifter.

In the album, Crockett pays homage to an array of his musical influences such as Waylon Jennings, Bill Withers, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. He pulls on themes from his unbelievable, true experiences and stitches them together with a slow-burning vocal delivery and rustic instrumentation to create a real, cohesive body of work.
