DISClaimer: Americana Offers Overflow of Musical Riches

May 21, 2014/by Robert K Oermann

Rosanne Cash

Americana music is much in the news this month.
Its organization announced its 2014 award nominees two weeks ago. This week, the AMA issued a press release stating that its annual convention has a $5 million impact on Nashville’s economy. Next week, it stages a one-day festival in Franklin that shines a spotlight on some of its greatest artists (see the Parker Millsap review for more details).
And so we turn our attention to Americana platters in this edition of DisClaimer. There’s an awful lot to like. Vying for places of honor are collections by Radney Foster, Leon Russell, Paul Burch and John Oates.
Amid a field of outstanding efforts, endearingly serene Rosanne Cash wins the Disc of the Day award. There’s an embarrassment of riches in today’s list of newcomers. So much so that I’m giving DisCovery Awards to one male, Parker Millsap; one female, Hannah Aldridge and one group, the pop delight that is Johnnyswim.
BLUE MOTHER TUPELO/Only Sunshine
Writers: Micol Davis/Ricky Davis; Producer: Ricky Davis; Publisher: Go Ahead On/Squeeze Me Tight, BMI/ASCAP; Juke Tonk (track)
-The title tune of this Hendersonville based duo’s new CD is a haunting pastiche of their unusual, folk-ish harmonies, electric guitar noodling and shimmering washes of violin. I think “kookie” is the word I’m looking for.
RADNEY FOSTER/Everything I Should Have Said
Writers: Radney Foster/Darrell Brown; Producers: Justin Tocket/Radney Foster; Publishers: Alamo Lounge/Kobalt/BMG Gold/We Jam Writers Group/Black Dragonfly, ASCAP; Devil’s River
-With his awesome songwriting ability and ringing, warm singing voice, this guy should have been a country superstar. As it is, he remains one of Nashville’s finest record makers. This ballad of regret and self recrimination anchors a stunning collection that has a gem around every corner.
HANNAH ALDRIDGE/Howlin’ Bones
Writer: Hannah Aldridge; Producer: none listed; Publishers: Bar, ASCAP; Trodden Black
-Hannah is the daughter of songwriting great Walt Aldridge. Her debut CD is proof of the old adage that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. On this track from her Razor Wire collection, she demonstrates a talent for gripping song craft as well as a searing, soulful vocal style. While electric rock guitar screams, she wails a warning to an intimate. Fantastic listening. Get on board.
JOHN OATES/Stone Cold Love
Writers: John Oates/Ryan Tedder; Producers: Ryan Tedder/John Oates; Publishers: Oates Shui/Primary Wave/Write 2 Live, BMI/ASCAP; Elektra (track)
-This pop great has been coming in and out of Nashville for the past couple of years assembling the three-disc set of tunes that is titled Good Road to Follow. It leads off with this groove-soaked stomper that wouldn’t be out of place on a classic Hall & Oates record. This super catchy thump fest shows you just why he’s a new Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The collection includes contributions from such notables as Hot Chelle Rae, Bekka Bramlett, Jim Hoke, Tommy Sims, Vince Gill, Colin Linden, Dan Dugmore and lots of other Music City names you know. Recommended.
PARKER MILLSAP/Truck Stop Gospel
Writers: Parker Millsap; Producer: Wes Sharon; Publishers: Northwentz, BMI; Okrahoma (track)
-I totally dig this guy. Nominated as an Emerging Artist at this year’s upcoming Americana Music Awards, Millsap’s superb, self-titled CD includes this cool fusion of trucker ambiance and gospel revival. His raspy vocal hooks you, and the joyous, country-rock track chugs relentlessly. Millsap is on the bill of the Americana festival taking place on May 31 in Franklin at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm on Franklin Road. Headliners include John Hiatt and Patty Griffin, not to mention Brandy Clark and Ashley Monroe. Sounds good, don’t it?
JOHNNYSWIM/Heart Beats
Writers: none listed; Producer: none listed; Publishers: none listed; Big Picnic (track)
-You’ll find this as the title track of a highly promising seven-song EP. The sound here is loaded with dance-happy shouting, poly rhythms and catchy pop song craftsmanship. Johnnyswim is a strikingly attractive duo comprised of Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano. She is the daughter of the late, great Donna Summer, and he sings with just as much yearning and fire.
LEON RUSSELL/Down in Dixieland
Writers: Leon Russell; Producers: Tommy LiPuma; Publishers: Young Carney, ASCAP; Universal (track)
-The latest from this living legend is titled Life Journey. The repertoire consists of songs that influenced the Master of Space and Time such as “Georgia on My Mind,” “That Lucky Old Sun,” “Fever,” “I Got It Bad and That’s Ain’t Good” and “The Masquerade Is Over.” There are two Leon originals on the album, including this set closing New Orleans piano romp embellished with Dixieland horns. He still sings with more soul than thousands who are half his age.
NIKKI LAKE/All Or Nothin’
Writers: Nikki Lane/Dan Auerbach; Producer: Dan Auerbach; Publishers: Cannily Freeload/BMG Platinum/Iamsound/Hour Box, BMI; New West (track)
-Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys produced this gal’s album. On the title tune, she’s a languid chanteuse with a bluesy lilt fronting a neo-soul track. Kenny Vaughn’s lead guitar work is outstandingly inventive. Elsewhere, MVP’s The McCrary Sisters offer backing vocals.
PAUL BURCH/Sagrada
Writers: Paul Burch; Producers: Paul Burch/Fats Kaplan; Publishers: Borrowed and Broke, BMI; Plowboy (track)
-Paul is one of my perennial favorites. His new CD, titled Fevers, includes this charming, lo-fi, Latin-flavored, bopping ode to fleeting romance in Barcelona. As always, his jaunty tenor veers just this side of jazzy.
ROSANNE CASH/A Feather’s Not A Bird
Writers: Rosanne Cash/John Leventhal; Producer: John Leventhal; Publishers: Chlcait/Measurable Music/Lev-A-Tunes, BMI/ASCAP; Blue Note (track)
-Rosanne is one of the most nominated artists at this year’s Americana Music Awards. Her The River & the Thread is an Album of the Year contender, and this track from it is competing for Song of the Year. It is a swampy evocation of Memphis and the Mississippi River. The rhythmic undertow is as compelling as her poetic lyric. This is one reason why she is also up for Artist of the Year.

Hunter Hayes Slides Into No. 1

May 14, 2014/by Sarah Skates

Hunter Hayes scored a big debut week with his second full-length studio set Storyline selling 69K units. This places the WMN project at the top of the Country album chart, at No. 3 on the overall album chart and No. 1 on the overall digital album chart. Storyline sold 57 percent digital (39K).
The high-energy 22-year-old celebrated the release by breaking a Guinness World Record for most concerts played in multiple cities in 24 hours. He zipped through 10 shows in 10 cities in 24 hours, on a mission to end child hunger with support from ConAgra Foods.
[To show how sales have entered free-fall in the last 12 months, consider Lady A’s debut of Golden on this week last year. That release by a superstar act sold 167K.]
Country album sales experienced a 23 percent increase week-over-week, thanks to sales from Hayes and Mother’s Day shoppers.
The Music of Nashville Season 2, Volume 2 (Big Machine Records) debuted with 17K as the show was renewed for season 3.
Check back next week for debut week numbers from Rascal Flatts and Dolly Parton.

DISClaimer: Day of the Duos

May 14, 2014/by Robert K Oermann

Duos rule in DisClaimer today.
The Disc of the Day prize goes to Dan + Shay, who are headed directly for stardom, in my opinion.
As far as having perfect vocal harmonies, that prize goes to the twin sisters who comprise Ward Thomas. They nailed down the DisCovery Award with ease.
Honorable mentions this week go to Sheryl Crow, Eric Church and Sawyer Brown. Play and believe.
WARD THOMAS/The Good and the Right
Writers: Lizzy Ward Thomas/Catherine Ward Thomas; Producers: Chris Rodriguez/Bobby Blazier; Publishers: WTW/Matt Greaves/Copyright Control/Ann Bailey/Bambino, no performance rights listed; WTW (track)
-Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas are British twins who came to Music City to record their A Different Country EP. I met ‘em at the Grammy Block Party, and they gave me a copy. Its fizzy single is a sprightly, uptempo, carbonated ditty wherein their perfectly matched voices shout and soar in search of higher meaning. Bonus points for songwriting talent. Promising in the extreme.
MIKE AIKEN/Put a Sail on It
Writers: Mike Aiken/Tim Buppert; Producers: Dan Baird/Ben Strano/Mike Aiken; Publishers: Big Boat/Saddle Blanket/Buffrin Boy, SESAC; Northwind (CDX)
-The old guy at the seaside bar has this advice: “Put a sail on it/Let your troubles catch the wind.” And, “Put a sail on it/Let your troubles float away.” And, “Doncha dwell on it.” Relaxing and reggae-fied.
SAWYER BROWN/Walk Out of the Rain
Writers: Harley Allen; Producer: Mark A. Miller; Publisher: Coburn, BMI; Beach Street (CDX)
-Sweetly lulling and summer-sun kissed. This cleanly recorded, mid-tempo delight features sighing steel and a lovely lyric that invites a loved one out of her blues and into romance. Very, very nicely done.

Ward Thomas

BLACKHAWK/Brothers of the Southland
Writers: Henry Paul/Dave Robbins/Jim Peterick; Producers: Dave Oliver/Henry Paul/Dave Robbins; Publishers: Henry Paul/Dave Robbins/Jim Peterick/Penny Farthing/Bicycle, BMI/ASCAP; Loud & Proud/Tenacity (CDX)
-It’s a stately salute to the Southern-rock brotherhood, name checking The Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers, complete with twin-guitar playing.
ERIC CHURCH/Cold One
Writers: Eric Church/Jeff Hyde/Lynn Hutton; Producer: Jay Joyce; Publishers: Sony-ATV Tree/Longer and Louder/Bug/Mammaw’s Cornbread/Little Louder/House of Sea/Vestal Boy, BMI/ASCAP; EMI (track)
-Loose-limbed and funky, this cool romp concerns a southern boy left high and dry by a gal who splits, leaving him “one beer short of a 12 pack.” I could have done without the rapid-fire electric guitar solo in the middle, but otherwise it’s a groove-o-matic.
SHERYL CROW/Shotgun
Writers: Sheryl Crow/Chris DuBois/Kelley Lovelace/John Shanks; Producer: Sheryl Crow & Justin Niebank; Publishers: Old Green Barn/House of Sea Gayle/EMI April/Didn’t Have to Be/Imagine Sounds, BMI/ASCAP; Warner Bros.
-Sheryl puts pedal to the metal on this stomping, driving song of escape. My favorite line: “Drive it like it’s stolen/Park it like it’s rented.” Get up off your fanny and dance.
LIVEWIRE/Drivin’ You Outta My Mind
Writers: Andrew Eutsler/Daniel Bell/Landon Rolfe/Johnny Bulford; Producers: Paul Carabello/Justin Woods/Clif Doyal; Publishers: Real Man/Parrot Island/Warner-Tamerlance/3JB, BMI; Way Out West
-Performed with drama and passion, this has a doom-y, minor-key vibe. On the Southern-rock side of country.
JOHNNY RIVERS/By Your Side
Writers: Johnny Rivers; Producer: Johnny Rivers; Publisher: none listed; Soul City
-This pop legend continues his quest for country acceptance with this mellow dab of romance. It is smooth, lovely and lilting, but it takes forever to get to the title.
WAYLON SPEED/Until It All Ends
Writers: Waylon Speed; Producers: Mark Spencer/Waylon Speed; Publishers: Crow on Ten, ASCAP; Crow on Ten
-This Vermont-based, country-rock band evidently didn’t get the “keep it bland” memo from Nashville. They are full-speed-ahead and headed straight for the wall on this outing.
DAN+SHAY/Show You Off
Writers: Dan Smyers/Shay Mooney/Danny Orton; Producer: Dan Smyers; Publishers: WB/Beats and Banjos/Warner-Tamerlane/Shay Mooney/50 Toes, ASCAP/BMI; Warner Bros.
-This densely packed production includes “Hay-oh” shouting, perfect vocal harmony, thumping percussion and whistling (!). Not to mention a fabulously catchy melody and a charming, love-struck lyric. I really like these guys.

Cumulus, BMLG Partner For NASH Icons

May 14, 2014/by Sarah Skates

Cumulus and Big Machine Label Group have entered a strategic partnership to create NASH Icons, which includes the launch of a record label and live events business.
The venture will showcase Nashville’s most iconic talent from the last 25 years, and release future recordings by those artists.
NASH Icons will also create live events, merchandise, video and a section in NASH magazine.
NASH Icons will be based at the NASH Campus in Nashville, which includes three studios designed for a combination of TV and radio programming, indoor and outdoor event space, a print newsroom and extensive office space.
Cumulus will separately introduce NASH Icons branding on some of its owned-and-operated radio stations, as well as create and syndicate NASH Icons content to affiliate stations through its WestwoodOne subsidiary.
NASH Icons will be a complement to the more contemporary-focused NASH brand, so ideally, the same markets would be able to have both types of stations.
All 68 Cumulus-owned Country stations are “Powered by NASH” and exclusive programming from the NASH campus currently airs on more than 400 radio stations nationwide through WestwoodOne. Cumulus is also an investor in digital audio provider Rdio, which will soon feature dedicated NASH and NASH Icon programming.

William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME) has announced the addition of agent Kevin Neal, bringing several clients with him including Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Colt Ford and Parmalee.
Neal joins WME as a partner after recently exiting Buddy Lee Attractions, where he served as the company’s president since 2009. The veteran agent has over 30 years of experience.
Under his leadership at BLA, the agency received the 2014 Pollstar Award for Independent Booking Agency of the Year. Additionally, Neal was named IEBA Talent Agent of the Year in 2006, 2008 and 2010; and NATD Agent of the Year in 2007. He was also a 2013 NATD Honors Award Recipient.
Neal was raised in the music business as the son of legendary agent and manager Bob Neal. He joined the Neal Agency in 1981 and worked with his father, before joining Buddy Lee Attractions from 1983 to 1985 and returning in 1988.
The addition of Kevin Neal marks the continued growth of WME’s Nashville office. In 2010 WME acquired Joey Lee’s 360 Artist Agency, bringing over artists Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, and Lee Brice. Neal and Lee previously worked together at Buddy Lee Attractions when Joey Lee served as CEO of that agency.
Earlier this year, WME brought on former Paradigm agents Mike Snider, Kevin Huffman and Dan Rauter to launch a Christian Music Division in the Nashville office, bringing over artists including CeCe Winans, MercyMe, Red, and Tenth Avenue North.
WME’s Nashville office represents Blake Shelton, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Rascal Flatts, Reba, Easton Corbin, Justin Moore, The Band Perry, Danielle Bradbery, Charlie Worsham and many more.

Bobby Karl Works The Columbia Studio A Re-Opening

May 12, 2014/by Bobby Karl

Chapter 454
Thanks to the generosity of the Mike Curb Family Foundation, the students at Belmont University now have four vintage studios in which to learn the crafts of engineering and producing records.
The fourth of them, Columbia Studio A, was officially opened with a breakfast reception on Friday (May 9). It joins RCA Studio B, The Quonset Hut and Ocean Way, all of which have been previously restored by Curb.
“Our Curb College is now the largest stand-alone music-business program in the nation,” said Curb at the event. He recalled that when he was a kid in California, he marveled that so many hits could come from Studio B and the Quonset Hut, alone.
“What you did in this studio is beyond what any of us could dream,” he told the attendees, many of whom were veteran Nashville music figures. “While I’m alive, I want to see this happen again…..Thank you, thank you for building this and making it what it is. We’re just proud to be restoring it.”

Striking Matches’ Justin Davis and Sarah Zimmermann.

Striking Matches – Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis – met as Belmont students. The duo began the event by singing “She’s Got You,” which Patsy Cline recorded next door in The Quonset Hut.

“Striking Matches is literally on fire,” quipped Belmont president Bob Fisher. “Their presence today reflects the aura of this place – the past, the present and the future.” He recognized Harold Bradley, who created the original facility with his brother, the late Owen Bradley, in 1955. “Today we’re celebrating,” Fisher added. “Mike Curb has been the most active person in preserving Nashville’s recording history.”
Curb is leasing the studio to Belmont for the next 40 years, which Fisher said amounts to a $10 million behest. The Belmont chief introduced several denizens of Columbia Studio A who were in the crowd. In addition to Harold Bradley, they including Lou Bradley, Ron “Snake” Reynolds, Jerry Kennedy, Bill Walker, Wayne Moss, Dickie Lee, Laing Martine Jr., acoustic designer Dave Rochester, Hoot Hester, Jim Ed Norman and Word president Rod Riley.
“There’s a story for every one of you in this room,” Fisher said.
Charlie McCoy recalled playing the harmonica intro on Roy Orbison’s “Candy Man,” which kick-started his session career. He was later invited to New York to play on Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row.”
“That was [producer] Bob Johnston’s way of luring Bob Dylan to Nashville,” McCoy recollected. Dylan block-booked Columbia Studio A to record Blonde on Blonde, writing its songs during the sessions. He returned to record John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline on Music Row as well. The result: “Nashville was certified as a recording center by people who would have never come here to record,” McCoy said.

Pop luminaries who have recorded in Columbia Studio A also include Leonard Cohen, The Byrds, Boz Scaggs, Simon & Garfunkel, Elvis Costello, Dan Fogelberg, REO Speedwagon and Manhattan Transfer.
“We have heroes in this town, and one of them is Mike Curb,” added McCoy. “I’m honored to be here. And I’m still playing, by the way!”
“This is a magical building for me,” said Brenda Lee. “Owen and Harold had a vision when they bought a house and built a studio. This little patch of ground where we stand was the foundation of the sound heard ‘round the world.”
“These walls can and will talk to a new generation. And for that, we can all be grateful.”

Pictured (L-R): Justin Davis, Brenda Lee, Sarah Zimmerman and Belmont's Wes Bulla.

Striking Matches closed the reception with another performance. “We’re surrounded by music royalty,” Davis observed. “We’re honored and humbled. If you recognize any licks we play, it’s because we stole them all from you.”
It really was an A-list crowd. Schmoozing fabulons working the room included Troy Tomlinson, Buddy Miller, Mark Ford, Debbie Linn, Pat McMaken, Ronnie Shacklett, Alan Stoker, Pete Fisher, Michael Gray, Shelby Kennedy, Jeff Balding, David Wykoff and Belmont’s James Elliott, Wes Bulla, Don Cusic, Bo Thomas and studio manager Michael Janus.
Coffee, cookies and assorted breakfast items were served.
