That Nashville Sound Friday Newsbytes - New Projects From Margo Price, Eric Palsay, Thomas Rhett, Marc Cohn & Pistol Annies

Today is National Get Gnarly day. I'm sure those in charge naming it had intentions of just encouraging Ray Wylie Hubbard to get out his slide and do some picking.  On a separate note, there's lots more news this morning with some exciting album announcements.

- Marc Cohn has announced a new album to come out in early 2018 and has gone to PledgeMusic to offer fans some unique opportunities at autographed and custom memorabilia connected to the project.

- Save your Christmas money, for in early 2018, the Pistol Annies will be having their third album released.

- The final studio album from the late rocker Gregg Allman, titled Southern Blood, will release via Rounder Records on Sept. 8. The torchbearer for Southern rock died earlier this year on May 27, at the age of 69, at his home near Savannah, Georgia.

- Margo Price had a surprise EP released yesterday. Price offers up four new tracks on her EP Weakness, released via Third Man Records.

- Michael Johnson, the voice behind the smash hit "Bluer Than Blue," passed away at age 72 while in hospice care in Minneapolis on Tuesday, July 25.

- The Voice veteran Jake Worthington released a new lyric music video for "Big Time Lonesome."

- Eric Paslay released a surprise EP as well this last week entitled The Work Tapes. Listen to him talk about the new project a bit here.

- Shania Twain released her new music video for "Life's About To Get Good."

- On September 8, Thomas Rhett will release his next album Life Changes via Valory Records. "I am and will always be a country artist,” Thomas Rhett said. "It's who I am, it's in my blood. I will always try to push boundaries because that rebellious side has been in me since I was a kid. My voice and my journey that inspired these songs is the glue that makes this album cohesive. This is where I'm at musically, and these are my stories."

The Golf & Guitars Music Festival Raises Over $100,000 In 2016 For Kid Charities

We had more than 108,000 reasons to love Golf & Guitars this year. That’s how many dollars that the Golf & Guitars Music Festival & Pro-Am raised this year in a record fundraising effort in Morton Golf Foundation’s largest fundraiser on May 16 & 17, 2016.

We brought the general public two nights of music and featured different performers on each night of our concert series. The hottest acts in country music, the up-and-coming artists you’ll soon see topping the charts and some of Nashville’s very best songwriters are all donating their time to help raise funds for children’s charities during the music festival. 

The Morton Golf Foundation is proud to call KNCI 105.1 FM our partner in hosting this special event. Golf and Guitars is a celebrity pro-am golf tournament and concert featuring nationally recognized & major label country music artists.  Each golfer in the tournament gets to play with one of the celebrities and then gets a seat next to the stage where these artists put on a tremendous concert underneath the beautiful golf course sky.

The highlights were many over the two days:

Our line-up was one of our very best ever. With our headliner, Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, Love & Theft, Jackson Michelson, Lockhart, Green River Ordinance, Lauren Alaina, Drake White, Canaan Smith, Jason Michael Carroll, LOCASH, Eric Paslay, Parmalee and Aaron Lewis, we had arguably our finest line-up ever on night two.

Our Singer-Songwriter Showcase and Pairings Party on night one was equally as special. We had Logan Brill, Hailey Whitters , Jordan Reynolds , Francesca Beghe, Chris Roberts, Ella Mae Bowen, Scott Stevens, Faren Rachels, Jennifer Paige, Ashley Campbell and Megan Conner- with Jimmy Wayne acting as our first night host. When Campbell covered her father’s touching “Wichita Lineman,” our event had its first standing ovation in its history.

For the second consecutive year, Jason Michael Carroll played a round of golf with four very special local heroes out of our Wounded Warriors golf program. PING Golf generously donated a set of clubs and personalized golf bag to each of the players that was gifted to the veterans up on stage to a rousing applause.

On night one at our Singer-Songwriter Showcase & Pairings Party, not only did the Morton Golf Foundation gift 21 different high school seniors $26,000 in scholarship money mostly donated by our incredible sponsor Air Force One Golf, but Sleep Train founder Dale Carlsen generously donated $2,500 to kick off a new and upcoming foster child golf program that was brainstormed by frequent G&G participant and country artist Jimmy Wayne, a tireless advocate and former foster kid himself.

The local California Eagles, our Special Olympics golf program held here in the Sacramento region, had many of their participants on-hand on night two running our raffle for an autographed guitar signed by all of the G&G artists, raising nearly $5,000 for their own program.

Mother Nature contributed in her own way with two gorgeous springtime days with nary a cloud in the sky. The concerts under the sky are one of the highlights of every local music fan with the music held right on the 17th tee.

Another highlight was our generous foursomes that came out and enjoyed great shots and bad shots alike across both the Alister MacKenzie and Arcade Creek GC’s at Haggin Oaks. Our gracious hosts Love and Theft did wonderful jobs with their storytelling and artist introductions in their regular hosting gig they’ve handled over the last several years. They’ve just signed a brand new recording deal with Curb Records and we can’t wait to hear what is in store for them.  

All in all, it was a highly successful two days of fundraising and a memory everyone that was in attendance will remember for a lifetime.
 
Block your calendar for Monday, May 15 & Tuesday, May 16, 2017 for Golf & Guitars X.

New Music Video From Scott Stevens - "Don't Fight Fair" [Exclusive Premiere]

That Nashville Sound is excited to have the exclusive premiere of a brand new music video of one of Tennessee's fast-rising singer-songwriter stars, Scott Stevens.
 
Hailing from Knoxville, TN, and raised in a musically gifted-family, Stevens is quickly making his presence known in Nashville. With a distinct voice, a knack for infectious songwriting, and a stage presence suited for an arena, Stevens will soon be among the main draws in country music. This summer will see Stevens making tour stops between California and Connecticut, with a heavy focus in the Southeast, as well as a performance during the genre’s biggest event; CMA Festival in Nashville. With influences ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Keith Urban, Stevens brings his own distinct flavor to the format. Following up his debut EP release last year, Stevens is releasing a video for his new song “Don’t Fight Fair”, as a teaser for his follow-up project, expected late 2016. The addictive melody and sexy lyrics on this new track are destined to be stuck in the heads of country music fans for the next few months. 

Catch Scott Stevens at one of his upcoming shows, starting with a stop-off in Dunwoody, GA, and at the Golf & Guitars charity event in Sacramento, alongside such stars as Charles Kelly, Eric Paslay, Love & Theft, Jon Pardi and others.

That Nashville Sound’s Top 100 (and something) Songs of 2014

2014 was another fabulous year of country music. Traditional country, bluegrass, modern country and Americana were all represented well and this list proves that out- we’ve cast a wide net over that definition of roots-oriented music.

Here are the rules by which this list was selected. It had to be released off an album that was released in 2014 or is an already-released single off a to-be-released album. If the album came out in 2013 or before, it couldn’t be included- even if it wasn't released as a single until 2014.

Let us hear what you think. Anything we missed? Without further ado, here is That Nashville Sound’s Top 100 (and something) Songs of 2014.

1.       Emily West- “Made for the Radio”

After being rung through the ringer by Capitol Records Nashville earlier this decade, it would make sense that Miss West would feel like giving the big music labels the finger for not allowing her to follow her muse and sing the music she felt compelled to release. So she set to music one of the most profound statement songs of the year, describing the “vacant black hole hearts” of the label heads that are “f***ing the next star.” The magic of the song isn’t that it’s just a call-out of those she felt did her wrong. It’s a statement that she’s found a new career compass and following it down her own yellow brick road (which just happens to be the name of her own label she’s releasing music on.)  If there’s one song on this Iist that I can implore you to go to i-Tunes and purchase right now, it’s this one right here. It’s passionately compelling and personal songwriting at its very best. She received Karmatically-charged justice in finishing second in America’s Got Talent in the second half of the year and earning a new record deal with Sony.
2. Chris Stapleton- “Go ‘N Down”

Unless you’re a fan of the first two Steeldrivers albums or accidently came across a little indie album from an act called the Jompson Brothers, Stapleton’s impact on your consciousness will be only from his radio release of “What Are You Listening To?” this last year that dented the charts.On “Go ‘N Down”, his magical throaty vocals deliver a fantastic western-themed story song that was on Kix Brooks’ soundtrack for Ambush at Dark Canyon, a straight to DVD/Blu-Ray movie released in January of this year. The delivery is fantastic, the lyrics are magic, describing” looking for redemption down the barrel of a gun. Go’n down where no mercy can be found and you pay for what you done with your soul.” Penned by Kix Brooks himself.
3. Don Williams- “I’ll Be Here in the Morning”

Country music’s “Gentle Giant” and one of the newest Country Music Hall of Fame members proves he’s still as powerful of a deliveryman with this cover of a 1968 Townes Van Zandt song. It’s a throwback in a modern way… which I guess is saying that it is as classic as anything he’s released over the years.
4.  Ronnie Dunn- “I Wished I Still Smoked Cigarettes”

If you haven’t heard this one, be rest-assured it is anything but a commercial for Marlboro. Dunn plaintively performs a great Lori McKenna co-penned track that longs for the days in which he could do things before consequences, before he knew better. This was released to radio as a single, further proving that “the FM machine” is overlooking quality contemplative songwriting for stuff that generically appeals to the masses. This is a great one that only adds to Dunn’s long legacy in country music.
5. Hal Ketchum- “I’m the Troubadour”

Illness and the end of a long Curb Records contract extinguished Ketchum’s spark for making music for much too long until he released this great title track off an equally excellent project. "I just kind of lost my powder for a while," said Ketchum in an interview to Billboard. "I just didn't feel like playing or writing. One day I just said, 'This is a gift that God has given me, so I better get back to it. It's an amazing gift to be able to come back this strong. I feel like it's the best record I've ever made." We agree.
6. Jason Eady- “Daylight and Dark”

Born in the Mississippi Delta, Eady has never been able to shake that soulful sound that flows through his veins like the river so famous down there. Even a short stint in Nashville where the powers that be wanted to commercialize his sound couldn’t have an effect. Now the Texas transplant has found his natural home and this deep and dark story born out of lost love just rips your heart out in the very best of ways. The title track of his outstanding album utilizes incredibly mellow production that only takes a backseat to a lyrical beatdown on the heart.
7. Eric Paslay- “Less Than Whole”

Outside of the Peach Pickers, the songwriter most in demand just might be this tall lanky redhead, Eric Paslay. This track was the standout on a strong debut album and deals with the challenges of self-esteem and the pressure of living with a feeling “of being less than whole.” It’s a great message song and Paslay showcases his great vocals on the track.
8. Eric Church- “Cold One”

On a roller-coaster album with its fair share of hits and misses, Church delivers a rousing one for the ages on “Cold One.” It’s a simple message: An analogy of his girlfriend stealing his cold beer and walking away with his heart. But it’s the production on this one that steals the show. The guitar work at the chorus is a main focus and the whole thing descends into jam chaos at the end. And yet somehow it works perfect.
10. Radney Foster- “Not In My House”

Foster used a profound conversation about a fellow student using a slur in his daughter’s 5th grade class as fodder on this powerful song that would eventually include references to racist and homophobic slurs as well. “I’m going to sing for th souls who get kicked around/ Words aren’t a weapon just to put you down.” For a southern man who witnessed what hate could produce first-hand, it’s a delivery and message that is all the more believable when Foster has earned some of that grey hair that has adorned his head for so long.
11. Drew Kennedy and Lori McKenna- “Rose of Jericho”

This song was released on both McKenna and Kennedy’s projects this year and both are equally excellent. Says McKenna about the genesis of the track, “This song started early one morning – the 2nd day of a two-day writing run with the incredible Drew Kennedy.  The first verse seemed to throw itself at me and then I hit a wall and didn’t understand what it wanted.  Drew came in – and mentioned that he wanted to write a song called “Rose Of Jericho”.  And somehow those two separate thoughts found one another and seemed to get along pretty well.”
12. Will Hoge- “Middle of America”

Hoge cowrote the song with Jessi Alexander and Tommy Lee James, and he was planning on shopping the song to other country artists before his producer Marshall Altman convinced him otherwise. “I wasn’t expecting to write a song for me,” Hoge told Rolling Stone Country. “We were just trying to write a great song, and as it went on, I started getting more and more attached to it. There’s always that moment of, ‘Do I want to keep this song for myself because I think it’s really great, or do I want to send it to Blake Shelton and make a whole bunch of money off of it? Maybe he’ll want it.’ It’s a strange place to be, but I’m pragmatic enough to know that sometimes that’s the right play.”

That Nashville Sound’s (First Half of the Year) Best Songs of 2014

If you were on the golf course, a number of 71 would be a great on a scorecard. Think of this list in the same way. This list of 71 songs are each a beautiful artistic shot, just hit by a talented story-telling singer-songwriter instead of a professional golfer. Traditional country, bluegrass, modern country and Americana are blended seamlessly across the list and are all represented well.  While later in the year, we’ll formally count them down from our favorite down to the last one we feel merits some love, this list is broken up into three different categories: Best of the Best, Better than the Rest, and Best of the Rest.

There are going to be many different songs selected from artists that will be new to you for sure and most of the tracks were never released as radio singles. They’re each hand-selected off of albums released this year or were formally released as singles to digital media (like i-Tunes) this year.
Leave us a comment. What do you agree with? Disagree with?  What do you feel like we missed?  Let me present to you That Nashville Sound’s (First Half of the Year) Best Songs of 2014…

Best of the Best:
