A Nashville native, Tate had over 25 years of executive museum management experience at the Country Music Hall of Fame. She exited her role at the museum in March of 2018.
Tate fulfilled two tenures at the museum. From 1986 until 1994, she took on the role of Production and Advertising Manager, where she was responsible for copywriting, creative direction and editorial supervision. She also managed the production of books, magazines, and historical albums.
During her second term at the Museum, Tate supervised a collection of over 2 million artifacts, the exhibition program, digitization program, the Frist Archive and Library and special construction projects. She also served as project manager for the $100 million addition to the museum completed in 2014, which added state-of-the-art archives for the collection and additional exhibition and event space to the facility. Tate also supervised Hatch Show Print, the Taylor Swift Education Center, special projects, public programming and various development projects.
Tate’s career also included stints at LooneyRicksKiss, an architectural firm in Memphis, where she served as Director of Museum Services and supervised the design of the STAX Museum. She also directed the Museum Services Division at 1220 Exhibits in Nashville, where she worked on design, fabrication and installation of many public and private museum projects.
Tate is preceded by her father, Charles E. Tate; sister, Mary Gail Tate; and uncle, Terry Lee Davidson. She is survived by her mother, Norma Davidson Tate; aunt, Carolyn Davidson Oldham (James); niece, Rebakah Jean; nephew, Adam Lee; and cousin, Seth Lee.

/by Lorie HollabaughDylan Schneider. Photo: Robby Klein
Dylan Schneider has released his new five-track EP College Town, available everywhere now.
At only 22, Schneider has been in the industry since he was a teen. College Town celebrates his age, since he would be a college senior if his life had taken another path.
The BBR recording artist co-wrote all but one song on the new project, which features two fresh tracks–the reminiscent “College Town” and down-home rocker “Girls Country”–along with the previously released slow-rolling anthem “Lost in A Small Town” the wistful “21 & Over,” and a trip down memory lane on “Right Girl.”
Schneider will kick off his “2022 College Town Tour” on March 22, visiting eight colleges across the southeast. The party starts at the University of Florida in Gainesville and will hit the University of Alabama, Auburn University, Florida State University, University of Georgia and more.
“I can’t wait for the world to hear some of the music that I’ve been working on for the last couple of years,” says Schneider. “This project represents the good times, the bad times, and everything in between. I’m looking forward to hitting the road on the ‘College Town Tour,’ playing at sororities and bars across each campus and getting the true college experience.”
College Town EP Track List:
1. “College Town” (Dylan Schneider, Gabe Foust)*
2. “Girls Country” (Dylan Schneider, Gabe Foust, Jason Gantt, Dan Isbell)*^
3. “21 And Over” (Dylan Schneider, Gabe Foust, Nate Kenyon)*

Cole Swindell & Lainey Wilson Hit No. 1 On MusicRow Radio Chart
/by Alex ParryCole Swindell and Lainey Wilson are crowned No. 1 this week on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart for their single “Never Say Never.” Swindell co-wrote the single with Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill and it will appear on his album, Sterotype, coming out in April.
Swindell and Wilson recently sat down with MusicRow to discuss the song. “I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been in this situation at some point in time,” Wilson says. “I was telling Cole the other day, it’s like that piece of chocolate cake that you know you shouldn’t have but you take it anyway. We’ve all been there, so we can all relate even if you’ve never been in a relationship in your life.” She continues, “It’s hard sometimes to have a rocking song that’s also passionate, and I think this song does that. It makes you feel all the things. It makes you wanna say ‘Hell yeah!’ and it makes you want to kiss somebody.”
Wilson recently won New Female Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for “Things A Man Oughta Know” at the 57th Annual ACM Awards.
Swindell is currently on his headlining “Down To The Bar Tour” with Travis Denning and Ashley Cooke.

It’s all I’ve really wanted to convey with listeners. I want people to know we are all more related than you think. That’s through love. So now I am releasing six songs that I hope relate to you too. That through love and music you feel a little less alone. This EP is All About Love and I think we can all agree we need more of it!”

DISClaimer Single Reviews: Randy Houser Makes Powerful Return
/by Robert K OermannIt seems that we salute our music-industry veterans today.
Deborah Allen, Sammy Kershaw and The Beach Boys are here with new sounds. So is Randy Houser, whose comeback wins our Disc of the Day prize.
Texas is well represented, with Ray Wylie Hubbard, Parker McCollum (singing Strait), Charley Crockett and Miranda Lambert all checking in with worthy new projects. That is also the home state of our DISCovery Award winner, Catie Offerman.
Happy listening.
PARKER McCOLLUM / “Carrying Your Love With Me”
Writers: Steve Bogard/Jeff Stevens; Producer: Jon Randall; Label: MCA
–McCollum salutes his hero George Strait with this revival of a 1997 chart topper. The youngster’s tenor voice brings out the yearning in the lyric beautifully. The session musicians’ instrumental coda is an extra delight.
MIRANDA LAMBERT / “Strange”
Writers: Miranda Lambert/Luke Dick/Natalie Hemby; Producers: Jon Randall/Luke Dick/Miranda Lambert; Label: RCA
–We can all relate. “Times like these make me feel strange.” The unsettling verses give way to a rollin,’ rollicking chorus: “Have a smoke, buy a round/Get on a jet going anywhere bound/Pick a string, sing the blues/Dance a hole in your shoes/Do anything to keep you sane.” Amen, sister.
CHRIS JANSON / “Keys to the Country”
Writers: Chris Janson/Dallas Davidson/Ashley Gorley/Zach Crowell; Producers: Zach Crowell/Chris Janson; Label: Warner
–It’s a blazing, high-octane performance that totally rocks. This record screams, “Spring is here” and “Turn it up.” Spin it until ya get dizzy.
LOCASH / “Beach Boys”
Writers: Chris Lucas/Preston Brust/Dallas Wilson/Jared Mullins/Brian Wilson/Mike Love; Producer: Cory Crowder; Label: BBR/Wheelhouse
–The vocal guests are veteran Beach Boys Mike Love and Bruce Johnson. The song is a mash up of “I Get Around” with some LoCash redneck verses. It’s a bit of an audio mess, but they mean well.
CHARLEY CROCKETT / “I Feel For You”
Writer: Jerry Reed; Producer: Billy Horton; Label: Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers
–Moody, bluesy and utterly captivating. With spare snare drumming and acoustic strumming as the underpinning, Crockett gives the heartbreak tale a smoky vocal magic. I dig this guy’s “Gulf and Western” sound.
RANDY HOUSER / “Note to Self”
Writers: Randy Houser/Ross Copperman/Casey Beathard/Bobby Pinson; Producers: Randy Houser/Blake Chancey; Label: Empire/Magnolia
–This man remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists. His return is most welcome, especially with such a strong song of regretful hindsight. His extraordinary voice is absolutely fierce as this hair-raising pile driver reaches its climax. Houser is booked to play the Ryman on Sunday (March 20).
CATIE OFFERMAN / “Happyland Trailer Park”
Writers: Catie Offerman/Joe Clemmons/Rodney Clawson; Producer: Dann Huff; Label: MCA
–Lend this newcomer your ears. The Texas twanger takes us on a jingle-jangle, country-rock cruise on her disc debut. It’s a wind-in-your-hair pleasure trip. Tow an Airstream down the highway until you get to the title destination.
SAMMY KERSHAW / “Honky Tonk Boots”
Writers: Billy Don Bruns/Scott Blackwell; Producer: Buddy Cannon; Label: White Mustang
–Stone cold country, designed for two-stepping. Old-school, and proud of it.
MAGGIE ROSE / “Two Arms to Hold Onto”
Writers: Chris Gelbuda/Don Hart/Maggie Rose; Producers: Don Hart/Chris Gelbuda; Label: MR/Orchard
–Maggie is a dynamite talent as a blue-eyed soul singer. On this lustrous wish for love, she claims her turf as a country queen. The ear-tickling production sports strings as well as twang. She introduced the song at the Opry last Saturday, and charmed everyone in sight. I remain an immense fan.
ZAC BROWN BAND / “Out in the Middle”
Writers: Ben Simonetti/Jonathan Singleton/Luke Combs/Zac Brown; Producers: Ben Simonetti/Zac Brown; Label: Warner
–This band doesn’t know how to make a record that isn’t hooky. This song is another one of those redneck-fantasy lyrics about swimming holes, gravel roads and rural partying after a hard-working week. But they sing it with such gusto, you buy it all over again.
DEBORAH ALLEN / “Patsy Cline Crazy”
Writers: Deborah Allen/Margaret Phillips; Producer: Deborah Allen; Label: Audium/BFD
–Allen sings with oomph and passion on this clever ballad. The lyric name checks 25 country classics (I counted) and along the way manages to sound like an instant classic, itself. Very cool.
RAY WYLIE HUBBARD & BAND OF HEATHENS / “Desperate Man”
Writers: Eric Church/Ray Wylie Hubbard; Producer: none listed; Label: Big Machine
–Hubbard’s second album of collaborations drops tomorrow (March 18). It features the eclectic Texas troubadour warbling with Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, Wade Bowen, Wynonna, Randy Rogers and Hays Carll, plus such unlikely collaborators as Toto’s Steve Lukather, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, metal rocker Lizzy Hale, Ringo Starr and the Shiny Soul Sisters. The single is Hubbard’s drawling treatment of the 2018 hit he wrote with Eric Church. I’ve always loved this rumpled, honest fellow.
