So it s ironic that Down to the Honkytonk went down in history by picking up an Academy of Country Music Award nomination for singe of the year. (The 54th annua event is schedued for Apri 7 in Las Vegas.) The timing was idea, bringing him attention as Honkytonk hits the home stretch in its chart cimb (it s at No. 10 on the Country Airpay ist dated March 30) and as his first Big Loud abum, Greetings From Jake, is reeased March 29. The ACM accoade didn t knock him off his game. Owen is super fattered, he says, to be on the baot for the first time since he won top new mae vocaist in 2009, but trophy consideration is gravy for his career, not the meat and potatoes. OWEN It s obviousy a huge honor to be nominated for something, but I just don t put much emphasis on it anymore, he says. I d rather peope remember me 10 years, 20 years down the road for having good character and being a good person than remembering me because I won a singe of the year award. That sort of practica, common-man attitude fits the tone of Greetings, an abum that returns Owen to the country core that served as his bread and butter at the starting gate on his career journey, which has yieded 10 Country Airpay top 10 tites, incuding seven No. 1s. Instead of the programmed drums and pug-in effects that are fairy standard in modern country, Owen drapes the abum in guitars biting honkytonk eectrics, ringing acoustics and Pau Frankin s tangy stee and reconnects with the twang in his Forida-bred accent and the rich basement tones that dominated his eary recordings. He s a cassic-country-song jukebox, says producer Joey Moi (Forida Georgia Line, Morgan Waen). He can sit there and pay any od, od cassic country song for hours and hours and hours, and he sings in this awesome, great baritone country voice, which is so natura to him. I reay wanted to get him [to do] more [of] that: more organic, more traditiona, more singing down in those ower keys. Greetings is graphicay presented as a vacation postcard, intended to portray the 14-song project as a message from the current ocation of Owen s career journey. But the abum itsef works as a journey, too. Starting with Down to the Honkytonk, it traves in stages through cassic-rock infuence represented by his John Meencamp-derived I Was Jack (You Were Diane) and a weed-referencing Kid Rock coaboration, Grass Is Aways Greener to Owen s famiiar beach-party brand and into more phiosophica songs about ife and ove before circing back to its traditiona country starting ine with Damn.

2 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 2 OF 19 The path incudes a visit from YouTube star Lee Pons, a Venezuean-born singer-actress with 33.8 miion Instagram foowers. Senorita is a tropicacountry effort dusted with Spangish phrases and Mexicai guitar, and it marks the biggest side trip on Greetings. I ike the fact that she s not someone that s expected on a country abum, he says. It kind of gives me a itte bit of cred outside of just the country genre. I know that might contradict [the foundation of] this country abum, but I think that it s important for any artist to kind of step outside the comfort zone sometimes and actuay do something that does throw peope for a oop. Owen has made it a point to test roads ess traveed of ate. When he signed with Big Loud, he represented the first estabished act to join the roster, which aready incuded newer taents Waen, Chris Lane and Jiian Jacqueine. Owen started work in February on his first movie, The Friend, starring Casey Affeck, Dakota Johnson and Jason Sega. And he estabished his own management firm, Good Company, with founding partners Keith Gae and Jon Andoina. Good Company created, at east temporariy, a radio promotion wing in support of RECORDS artist Matt Ste. It s a ot ike when I eft Taahassee to move to Nashvie, says Owen of the management firm. It was a big chance. It was something [where] peope are ike, Wow, I can t beieve you re doing this. But anything I ve ever done in ife where I ve just taken a chance but beieved in mysef to do it has reay fourished and worked out in a great way. Good Company aso gives Owen a bigger roe in directing his business ife in conjunction with his persona ife, and that payed into his concert pans behind Greetings. Foowing ast summer s tour, which focused on minor-eague baseba parks, this summer s schedue is grounded in festivas and fair dates, where the production costs are minimized and Owen is just one attraction in a ream of events and entertainers. It makes creative sense he be promoting an abum with greater traditiona country vibes by paying the kind of venues that have ong been associated with the genre but it aso fits his domestic needs. Girfriend Erica Hartein is carrying his second daughter and is due in ate spring. Owen indicates that his career focus has been party responsibe for damaging previous reationships; the fairs and festivas wi aow him to be more casua about work for the baby s first six months or so. It s a grind putting together a big show, paying for a ot of big production, paying your opening acts, he says. There s a ot that goes into that, and I fuy intend on doing that with this abum come 2020, but for this summertime, I just fet ike it was good for me to go out, make some money paying fairs and festivas and not have the pressure of having my own tour. Actuay, for the first time in 10 years, it give the guys in the band a itte bit of a break. In the meantime, the ACM nomination gives some vaidation to the approach Owen has used in his work, represented we in the country-grounded odyssey that is Greetings From Jake. I ve had a reay great journey, and I m so proud of who I am through a of this, he says. The music reay heps me say that for anybody who s istening.

14 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 14 OF 19 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Singer-Songwriter John King Turns Goodbye Into An Artistic Re-introduction Few things wi te you more about a person s character than how they hande hard times. Do they step up to the pate? Do they fa apart? Do they try to hang the bame on someone ese? For singer-songwriter John King, bad news meant he needed to go fu bore into the future. He was signed for a few years to both a recording contract and a pubishing dea with Back River. He scored one No. 1 singe as a songwriter on Randy Houser s We Went, but King s artist career was a itte ess fruitfu. Back River reeased two singes, and ony one of those charted: Tonight Tonight, which peaked at No. 39 on Country Airpay in When his recording dea ended, he coud have gotten mad. Instead, he got busy. I wrote some of my best songs in that period, says King. I was a itte bit ike, OK, I need to go write some of the best songs I ve ever written. I need to buid up the artiery, because it s time to go a different path. So it re-energized me as a writer in a good way. Try Saying Goodbye, reeased to radio on Feb. 19 by his management company, Narve Backstock s Starstruck Entertainment, was written right around that period either right before or right after King spit with Back River KING and it coincidentay expores the dissoution of a reationship. Back River didn t trigger the song. Neither did any rea-ife breakup. Instead, it emerged from a conversation with feow songwriters Pau DiGiovanni ( How Not To, The Ones That Didn t Make It Back Home ) and Jamie Pauin ( Backwoods, How I Aways Be ) about handing a dispute with a significant other. We ve a been in ong-term reationships, and we were taking about how you go through those strugges, ike those itte turning points where you get into arguments and it d be so easy just to give up and quit, remembers King. It s worth it if you have the right person to push through, and sometimes that incudes swaowing your pride and saying you re sorry, even when you think you re not wrong. The song s yrica hook came directy from the conversation: If you think saying I m sorry is hard, mused Pauin, try saying goodbye. That s a they needed for a tite. DiGiovanni, working in his home studio, deveoped the musica threads that woud provide a foundation. I started doing a itte finger-picky thing on the acoustic guitar that you hear at the intro, he says. I think I recorded that into the track, and we were just doing the itte drum beat kind of fee. We didn t actuay estabish what the chords were unti I put that bassine in the verse. They started right from the opening ine, setting a scene in which two peope have a significant bowup: Tears fa, the door sams, and they re not even sure what started it. The singer cuts through the tension at the start of the chorus Hey shifting into a higher pitch and a common-sense reminder: Nobody said ove was easy. It kind of grabs your attention, says King of that hey. It [changes] it from teing a story to, Hey, I m taking to you now. That chorus asts four ines before it gets to the Try Saying Goodbye tite, which originay ended rather painy. The open-vowe ending of goodbye fet a itte incompete, so King deveoped an eight-note roercoaster tag that became a de facto earworm. It s a pretty compicated itte run, meodicay, for a country boy ike me, he says with a augh. For Ariana Grande, I m sure it woudn t be a probem or whatever, but I aways ike writing songs that chaenge you vocay. Verse two puts the singer in a barroom, immersed in acoho, oneiness perhaps a itte guit and a whoe ot of uncertainty about what s ahead if neither person apoogizes. It s not too ate, he concudes, then breaks into the chorus once again. A bridge adds one more dimension as the singer s interna diaogue emerges. You think you re tough? he asks himsef before projecting a tragic finaity: watching in a coud of dust as the woman he oves drives away. Is that threat enough to save them? Wi this coupe survive its fight? I don t know, says King. Te me how it ends. I fee ike the singer comes to their senses in the end, adds DiGiovanni. I think it s over, counters Pauin. He s made his bed, and now he s gotta ie in it. Or drink in it. Things were not over for Try Saying Goodbye. The track DiGiovanni created during the writing session set the foundation for the demo, and King wrapped the day with a passionate read of the reationship mystery so effective that that voca became the centerpiece of the fina reease. John just has such an od sou, says Pauin. He can sing a ot of stuff that other peope don t necessariy do and make you beieve it. DiGiovanni continued working on the demo for a short time, inserting a tripe hand cap into the verses that subty enhances the unresoved tension. Once that demo was competed, they cosed it up, feeing ike it was too good to reease without a game pan. Over the next coupe of years, King continued writing and recording new materia, reeasing music independenty to buid his presence onine. And when it fet right, DiGiovanni brought bass payer Jimmie Lee Soas, drummer Chris McHugh and guitarist Derek Wes into Starstruck to give the existing demo of Try Saying Goodbye a human touch. Their contributions incuded a sudden, hard ending that simuates the cosing of a door. The studio date had its own minor computer-reated tension. I opened up the session because it was from two years ago or so, and I aways have my fingers crossed, says DiGiovanni. I was ike, Man, I hope I have a these pug-ins and everything is sti there and this hard drive doesn t die. But I got in, and that was a sigh of reief. Try Saying Goodbye got a start on streaming patforms, earning 1 miion on-demand streams in its first six weeks. Starstruck put it out to radio on PayMPE to gain further traction, whether that means carrying it forward in independent fashion or eventuay anding with a major abe. We ve taked about abes, but we haven t taken any meetings yet and we haven t shopped around at a, says King. We re so happy with the way it s going you know, don t fix it if it ain t broke. But obviousy my goa is to get back to country radio, and we a know that the abes have the power to make that happen. In the meantime, Try Saying Goodbye continues to connect, bringing up the od adage that pride goes before a fa and reating it in a way that isteners can appy to disputes in their own reationships, both romantic and famiia. In everything I ve ever experienced, every itte argument I ve gotten in, says King, nothing is ever worth osing that person.
