Primetime 'Nashville': 'I've Been Down That Road Before'


Passions build as Rayna and Juliette’s Red Lips White Lies tour continues on to a stop in Chicago.
As Deacon steps in as the band leader for Juliette, it’s no secret he’s out of his element amid the racks of stage costumes and an entourage of dancers and assistants as the crew gets ready for the show. “It takes a lot of people to make a good show,” Juliette quips. “Really? Johnny Cash only needed three,” Deacon replies. Later, he tells Juliette, “I’m still getting used to all the glitter.”
After Rayna finishes performing “I’m Already Gone” in concert, Juliette steps onstage surrounded by smoke machines, wind machines and a troupe of backup dancers to perform the peppy pop/country tune “I’m A Girl” (written by Mallary Hope, Shane Stevens, and Matthew West). Her insecurity shows as she notices Deacon’s distaste for the flashy act and she starts questioning the possibility of changing her brand.
Afterward, in her dressing room, Juliette tells her manager Glenn that she wants to change her sound, a move he strongly discourages. Later, a songwriting session with Deacon produces a new song (“Consider Me,” written by Ashley Monroe and Brendan Benson) and a newfound sense of confidence in Juliette to try a stripped down sound. At another concert stop, she steps onstage in jeans and a white shirt—a far cry from her usually spangled stage wardrobe, to sing a ballad she co-wrote with Deacon. As she asks Deacon to step up to perform it with her, Rayna and her team watch from the side of the stage, clearly noticing how much the setup resembles the heyday when Rayna performed with Deacon. After the performance, Juliette’s manager has some harsh words for Deacon: “It felt like a Deacon-Rayna show out there. Whatever you’ve got going on with Rayna, Juliette is not your solution.”
At the beginning of the episode, it seems not much is going on with Rayna and Deacon, as Deacon ignores or avoids Rayna’s attempts to smooth out their friendship, which makes for a few awkward elevator encounters. That doesn’t last long, as Deacon finally gives in to his long-held feelings for Rayna, kissing her in an elevator at the hotel.
Edgehill Republic head Marshall Evans agrees to give Rayna her own label, and she talks to Watty about signing a duo she remembered him mentioning from Nashville– Deacon’s niece Scarlett and her performance partner Gunnar.
Speaking of Gunnar and Scarlett, back in Nashville they decide to become roommates after Scarlett receives a visit from her landlord demanding rent money. Scarlett admits that Avery still owes her money for the rent after he left. It’s a good deal for Gunnar, who has gotten plenty of flak from his “friends” after joining the band with Scarlett. Gunnar moves in, right about the time that Avery shows up at Scarlett’s door. Rent money in hand, Avery apologizes for his actions and asks if they can rekindle a friendship. It’s too little, too late when he realizes Scarlett has Gunnar for a new roommate, which leads to harsh words and a fist fight between the two musicians. Avery’s possessive side bleeds through and Gunnar calls him on it, prompting Avery to leave. He ultimately does some thinking about what a jerk he’s been and the situation he’s gotten into. Avery musters the courage to leave his cougar lover/manager, Marilyn.
While Deacon and Rayna’s passion rekindles on tour, back home Rayna’s husband Teddy runs into Peggy in Hillsboro Village. The polite conversation leads to an affair after Peggy suggests he needs to be with someone who respects him and believes in him.
Meanwhile, on tour, Juliette sees what she thinks is a negative outcome to her impromptu performance of “Consider Me” after a reviewer in the audience had negative things to say, as did others on Twitter. Juliette is crushed by the unpopular response, until her assistant shows her how many views the YouTube video of the performance has gotten in the few hours since the show, along the the hundreds of positive comments from fans on the video.
After their brief passionate reunion, Rayna calls Deacon to her hotel room to talk about what happened. She gets a shock when it’s not Deacon who meets her at her door, but her husband Teddy. The episode ends with a cliff-hanger as Teddy says he’s tired of trying to fix the relationship and asks Rayna for a divorce.

'MusicRow' Announces 2013 CRS CountryBreakout Award Performers

MR-CRSHeading
MusicRow Magazine is excited to announce performances by rising stars High Valley and Jaida Dreyer at its 11th annual CRS Meet & Greet and CountryBreakout Awards.

Jaida Dreyer and High Valley

Jaida Dreyer and High Valley


The invitation-only event will take place Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2-4:00 p.m. CT at Margaritaville in downtown Nashville. It serves as the unofficial kick-off to Country Radio Seminar, which attracts broadcasters from across the country for events Feb. 27-March 1.
In addition to performances by this year’s outstanding lineup, the afternoon’s events will include the presentation of MusicRow’s CountryBreakout Awards. Given annually, these honors recognize artists who earned the most airplay on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart during the preceding year. For 2013, the awards have been expanded to include new honors for Male Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Group of the Year. These recognitions join longstanding awards for Label of the Year, Breakout Artist of the Year, Independent Artist of the Year, and CountryBreakout Reporter of the Year.
“CRS is always such a fun and action-packed conference for our industry, so I am very excited to treat attendees to performances by High Valley and Jaida Dreyer at MusicRow’s CRS Meet & Greet and CountryBreakout Awards,” says MusicRow Publisher Sherod Robertson. “These two artists made such a lasting impression on our team, I look forward to showcasing their talents on Feb. 26th, while we also celebrate the artists who garnered the most airplay on the MusicRow Chart.”
An in-depth profile of the yet-to-be-announced award winners will be included in the February/March 2013 edition of MusicRow Magazine, set to debut at the awards ceremony. Copies will be available throughout the Nashville Convention Center during CRS, including at kiosks in the coffee lounge and in the second floor conference area. As with each print issue, MusicRow paid subscribers will receive copies by mail.
About the Performers:
Jaida Dreyer will celebrate the release of her debut album, I Am Jaida Dreyer, on the day of the MusicRow CountryBreakout Awards (Feb. 26). Produced by Byron Gallimore and released by his Streamsound Records, her debut follows the release of radio singles “Guys Girl,” “Confessions” and “Half Broke Horses.” During recent months, Streamsound’s flagship artist has traveled on a coast-to-coast radio tour. Growing up a gypsy while her mother chased equestrian work, Dreyer lived in seven states before turning 18. Eventually, her love of music led her to Nashville, where she wrote or co-wrote every song for her album.
High Valley is made up of brothers Brad, Bryan and Curtis Rempel, who have earned multiple Canadian Country Music Association and Juno nominations in their homeland of Canada. They’ve been recording for more than a decade and opening shows for Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Reba McEntire. Their upcoming U.S. debut album Love Is a Long Road was produced by Jeremy Spillman and Phil O’Donnell. In 2007, executive John Mays signed High Valley to Nashville’s Eaglemont Entertainment. High Valley’s current single, “Love You For A Long Time,” has made a strong debut in the U.S. since its August release. High Valley is promoted by Rodeowave Entertainment and Diane Richey Promotions.

Weekly Register: House Of Discs

HOCEpisode One
Announcer: Although the thermometer says Music City’s winter has been quite temperate, a mid-winter funk has descended upon Nashville label boardrooms. Jobs could be at stake. As measured by the Nielsen SoundScan sales charts, strong consumer headwinds and chilling indifference have hit Music City marketers.
[Background music–hauntingly plays Barbara Mandrell singing “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool…”]
[Ruggedly handsome, middle-age label head] 
[Talks directly to the audience as way of introducing his character]
Scott Espodungerton: Yeah, there is a disturbing downward trend YTD on our sales charts, but so what? Country music is also enjoying a surge in cultural popularity. Nashville has its own self-titled TV show, the format boasts numerous arena-filling songslingers and is well represented on national award shows (including the upcoming Grammys). In addition, country is reaching foreign shores with new initiatives such as the CMA’s International Marketing Summit in Paris on March 1. Don’t chase the quick money, I always say. To dominate, real power is created by accumulating top artist brands—for the long term.

Chloe Barnes: Scott Espodungerton, you and I should become news buddies. If you start leaking inside news to me then in episodes 3 or 4 we can provide some love interest to move the plot of this series along. Your insider tips will make me look smart (I already have sexy covered…)
Scott Espodungerton: Chloe, point your readers to the Weekly Grid which shows country music is off almost 6% YTD and far deeper than the all-genre deficit of -2.5%. Then note that this week’s Top 75 Current Country chart shows sparse total sales of about 265k or 13.5% less than the same time last year. Also throw in some concerns about low streaming royalties.
Chloe: [Furiously tapping the information into her phone which she somehow uses to write her stories. Subtle swoon] Oh, that’s perfect.
Scott Espodungerton: Come over here. Take off your heels… [Scene fades quickly as label head confidently wraps his arm—quid pro quo—around Chloe’s waist]
weeklygrid1-27-13Episode Two
Announcer: Country sales analysts continue to show concern over country’s upcoming album release schedule for February and March. Debuts this week from Kris Kristofferson (No. 28) and Blue Sky Riders (No. 30) each failed to crack the 2k mark. A Tim McGraw effort from the artist’s new label Big Machine hit bins earlier this week and will be reflected in next week’s numbers. However, Curb released a McGraw project which after two weeks has registered a disappointing 6k units. Fortunately, last year’s Q1 list was also devoid of “register ringers” until the Lionel Richie release (week ended 4/1/12), so although the deficit will likely increase it may not plunge over the next two months.
Chloe Barnes: [Texting Scott Espodungerton] Need something new to feed the news machine. Whatcha got?
Scott Espodungerton: [Texting back] Check digital download tracks chart and YTD Albums with TEA. CU this evening?
Announcer: This morning a new reporter seemingly out of nowhere has the front page on MusicRow magazine and a feature GAC interview with Storme Warren to discuss her startling behind-the-scenes breaking sales updates. The town is buzzing about where this bright new reporter came from and how she could possibly have gotten “inside” so fast…

Tracks Talk While Country Tops YTD TEA List
by Chloe Barnes
Announcer: [Reading out loud] “Despite naysayers pointing to the deficit in country music album sales (-5.9%) there are bright signs on the horizon,” says an unnamed, but high-placed, industry source. “One of the best measures of overall sales power is YTD TEA which aggregates albums (digital and physical plus tracks).”
Topping that chart this week is Nashville flag waver Taylor Swift with over 412k TEA units YTD. (Bruno Mars is No. 2 with about 321k units. Dualtone’s Lumineers are No. 4 with almost 300k TEA units.)
Country track downloads also continue to be a bright spot, up 7 percent YTD. Blake Shelton’s “Sure Be Cool…” leads with over 65k downloads followed by The Band Perry (No. 2; 60k), Gary Allan (No. 3; 57k), Hunter Hayes (No. 4; 49k) and FGL (No. 5; 46k).
Country and Nashville are also represented in top Grammy nominee categories—Record, Album and Best New Artist. Taylor Swift earned a nod for Record of the Year with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” and Hunter Hayes is nominated for Best New Artist. Other artists with Nashville ties in the categories include Record—The Black Keys, Kelly Clarkson; Album—The Black Keys, Jack White; and New Artist—The Lumineers. Stay tuned next week as we investigate and analyze the upcoming Tim McGraw launch and more…
[Announcer fades, enter label head at his desk]
Scott Espodungerton: [Talks directly to the audience] Power in Music City is controlled by those who spend the most money. Yes, we are facing shrinking retail shelf space and margins, plus increased marketing costs, but we’re still at the top of the Music Row food chain. But those who play the game long term realize humility beats arrogance every time. It’s important to remember one’s friends on the way up, that’s what I always say…

YouTube Debuts Country Now Channel

cnbYouTube’s first channel exclusively featuring original country music content launched today (Feb. 6) at www.youtube.com/countrynow.
Country Now is home to the original series Country Download, Hear & Now, OMC! and I Luv My Country, which are created and produced in Nashville. Former Sony Music Nashville executive Butch Waugh is among those leading efforts for Country Now.
GreenLight Media & Marketing, a West Hollywood based company headed by longtime branded entertainment executive Dominic Sandifer, produces the Country Now channel. GreenLight is an independent agency within a network of sister companies that includes Red Light Management, ATO & TBD Records, and several major music festivals. Its clients and partners have included the GRAMMYs, AOL, YouTube, Pandora, Hyundai, adidas and American Express. Prior to launching GreenLight, Sandifer led the Entertainment & Integrated Brand Marketing Group for TBA Global, working with Chase, Nestle, Nike and McDonald’s. He also headed Universal Music Group/IGA’s Strategic Marketing team where he helped develop music-driven marketing strategies for Coca-Cola and XBox, and helped create tie-ins between Sting and AOL Broadband, and Black Eyed Peas and iTunes.
As a consultant for GreenLight, Waugh is working with labels, managers, and artists to provide content for Country Now. He explains, “Dominic looked to me for the lay of the land in Nashville, to make sure we were presenting country music in the right way, and also to share Country Now’s vision with Nashville.”
GreenLight tapped Randy Brewer’s Revolution Pictures to create the series I Luv My Country and Country Download, and Stokes Nielsen is producing and hosting Hear and Now. “What really impressed me about Dominic and the folks at GreenLight is they wanted to use Nashville based companies to create the channel,” adds Waugh. “I could see his energy for it and that he wanted to create something great.
“We talked about addressing the needs of country music fans,” Waugh continues. “If you look at it, there are consumers for labels, viewers for TV and YouTube, fans who buy tickets, and listeners for radio. They’re not always the same people, but they bleed over. So we looked for ways to expose country music and country artists to all these different types of country fans. We want to help connect the dots between the music and the fans and increase the awareness process. With Country Now, fans get to hear the song, see the video with the image of the artist, and discover the lifestyle behind the artist. It is especially valuable for new artists.”
While music programming will anchor the channel, Country Now will also feature lifestyle programs about fashion, sports, cars, southern cooking and culture. Additional series are expected in the near future, including live music programming.
More about the series:
cn Hear & Now, hosted by Stokes Nielsen of The Lost Trailers, is the YouTube version of Country radio. Premiering every Tuesday, artists provide a video intro to their new songs before pressing play on the full track. Screen images include album artwork, photos, and links to purchase the song.
OMC! (Oh My Country!) showcases the best country fashion with new episodes debuting every other Wednesday. It offers red carpet coverage by the “Twang Gang,” made up of Laura Bell Bundy, Brooke Engen, Tiffany Engen and Hugh Howser. It also includes style essentials from country stars, and the “Red-Neck Carpet.”
Country Download is a weekly show highlighting country music news, reviews, and recommendations from Emmy award winning personality Shane Tallant, WSIX afternoon drive personality The AntMan, and country radio and TV personality Samantha Stephens. New episodes will launch each Friday.
I Luv My Country is an animated series that features user-submitted country music videos combined with commentary from comedic hosts Jimmy Dale and Cleave, who appear exclusively on the channel. The premiere episode will debut soon with new content released each Monday.
“We’ve never had a country music dedicated channel on YouTube,” sums Waugh, “so I was pretty excited about having a destination for country music fans. I come from the Joe Galante school of thought, so I’m all for anything you can do to get country music artists in front of fans, especially in front of YouTube’s 22 million viewers.”

DisClaimer: Baby Acts Look Promising

Jimbeau Hinson

Disc of the Day winner Jimbeau Hinson


The narrative this week belongs to the baby acts. I can’t remember any prior listening session when there were so many promising newcomers. Vying for attention this week were Chris Janson, The Henningsens, Danny Griego and Shelly Fraley. I’m giving the DisCovery Award to Texan Danny Griego, but it could just as easily have gone to any of the others.
Longtime Music Row tunesmith Jimbeau Hinson has recorded only sporadically over the years. His Strong Medicine CD and its “Distant Vision” track are ample evidence that he should do so more often. Give the man a Disc of the Day award.
DEBBIE COCHRAN/Honky Tonk Yourself Right Out of Heaven
Writer: Debbie Cochran, Producer: Kent Wells, Publisher: DMC Anniston, BMI
-It’s a fiddle and steel-soaked two-step. Country, country, country all the way.
THE HENNINGSENS/American Beautiful
Writers: Aaron Henningsen/Brian Henningsen/Clara Henningsen/Brett Beavers, Producer: Paul Worley, Publisher: none listed, BMI
-The chunky, choppy sonic bed contrasts with a smooth lead vocalist and a catchy, tuneful chorus. Solidly written and sung. I’m intrigued. Send more.
DANNY GRIEGO/I Wear My Own Kind of Hat
Writers: Merle Haggard, Producers: Danny Griego, Ed Seay, Publisher: Sony Tree, BMI
-This 1979 Haggard oldie is given a classy update with a rockin’ “outlaw” backbeat and a gritty, soulful, slightly raspy, baritone vocal performance. I dig it.
Discovery Award winner

DisCovery Award winner Danny Griego


KATIE ARMIGER/Playin’ With Fire
Writers: Katie Armiger, Ricky Davis, Micol Davis, Producer: Chad Carlson, Publishers: Purple Monkeys/Hits of Tom Lies/Go Ahead On/Dorvin and Bubba/Squeeze Me
-Armiger continues her winning ways with this bluesy attitude number that sounds as dangerous as a hissing sidewinder. The kid rocks.
CHRIS JANSON/Better I Don’t
Writers: none listed, Producer: Keith Stegall, Publishers: none listed
-It’s a snappy country rocker with a well written lyric about a reformed wild man who knows better than to tempt fate with booze or babes. Promising.
KENNY CHESNEY/Pirate Flag
Writers: Ross Copperman, David Lee Murphy, Producers: Buddy Cannon and Kenny Chesney, Publishers: EMI Blackwood/Ross Copperman/4 Tunes/Old Desperados/N2D; BMI/ASCAP
-He kicks normal living aside for “a pirate flag and an island girl.” In other words, familiar Chesney territory, and extremely well produced.
SHELLY FRALEY/Wastin’ Time
Writer: Waylon Jennings, Producer: Ian Fitchuk, Publisher: none listed
-The deep echo-chamber effect is ear catching. She sings in a drowsy, world-weary sigh. The ballad’s love-is-gone lyric and wafting melody are both terrific. Extremely inventive and well worth your spins.
JIMBEAU HINSON/Distant Vision
Writers: Jimbeau Hinson, Producer: Kim Tribble, Publisher: American Romance; ASCAP
-Veteran hit songwriter Hinson really packed ‘em in at his album-release party last week. If you want to hear what all the excitement was about, check out this free download on the Wrinkled Records website. It’s a textbook example of blue-eyed soul singing, gospel-tinged lyric writing and shoulder-shaking-rhythm production. The CD is titled Strong Medicine. You need it in your life.
TYLER & THE TRIBE/Heaven and Hell
Writers: none listed, Producer: none listed, Publisher: none listed
-The band plays okay, in a quirky kinda way, but is poorly mixed. Also, the too-wordy songwriting could use some tightening up.
B.J. THOMAS & STEVE TYRELL/Rock and Roll Lullaby
Writers: Barry Mann/Cynthia Well, Producer: Kyle Lehning, Publisher: EMI Blackwood/Summerhill, BMI
-The upcoming The Living Room Sessions CD by B.J. Thomas features many of his classic hits reworked as duets with the likes of Keb Mo, Vince Gill, Richard Marx and Lyle Lovett. The noteworthy thing about this track is that Tyrell produced Thomas’s 1972 original version. He proves to be a worthy vocalist, although nowhere near the still-thrilling pipes of the iconic star. The label, Wrinkled, is off to a splendid start with consistently excellent platters from Buffy Lawson, Etta Britt, Jimbeau Hinson and Thomas. It’s great to know there’s still a company in town that’s all about the music.
