2 August 6, 2016 biboard.com BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE APRIL 8, 2019 PAGE 2 OF 24 Severa batons were figurativey passed aong the way. Brooks & Dunn, who won new duo or group of the year in 1992, sang their breakout hit, Brand New Man, with this year s new mae victor, Luke Combs. Eric Church gave tacit badass approva to McBryde by sharing the stage with her for a swampy version of his Desperate Man abum-opener The Snake. And Strait, who won artist of the decade in 2009, bestowed the 2019 version of the award now named after ate ACM producer Dick Cark on Adean. In the process, Strait noted the changing country terrain: New artists, new sounds, new ways to isten to the songs. The new generation of artists ceary has a different mind-set, musicay and/or cuturay, than many of its predecessors. New duo or group winner LANCO bounced and thumped its way through its just-reeased anthemic singe, Riva. Openy gay Shane McAnay caimed songwriter of the year in the days eading up to the ceremony, whie confirmed esbian Brandi Carie joined Bentey on the buegrass-fecked Travein Light. McANALLY Despite the new attitudes and new styistic aterations, the ACM s overview captured penty of moments that demonstrate country s continuity. That s the reason I wear the cowboy hat right here, said Adean, pointing toward Strait s western-bred visage. Strait invoked Johnny Cash imagery in the onstage backdrop during his performance of God and Country Music, Bryan threaded a reference to The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band s Fishin in the Dark in the chorus of his Knockin Boots, and Urban s trip to the podium was accompanied by the strains of Coming Home, his pop-tinged 2018 singe buit around a reworked version of the key riff in Mere Haggard s cassic Mama Tried. Stapeton s stripped-down performance of Simpe Song deivered with foky acoustic guitar and a retro stand-up bass reshaped a cassic country theme, hoding ove and famiy up as the soution to the aiments of modern ife: a ack of time, a ack of money, bad habits and bad heath. And Reba McEntire provided the utimate continuity, hosting the awards for the 16th time. She had at east five costume changes, with a bright purpe mode adding to the night s coorfu presentation. Bryan wore god amè in his front-row seat, Jimmie Aen haied ACM Lifting Lives in a scaret suit, Lady Antebeum s Chares Keey turned heads in Pepto-Bismo pink, and Lindsay E waked the pre-show carpet in fuorescent yeow. That eve of fash owes a subte debt to the rhinestone cowboys of od, who gittered in shiny Nudie suits even as they pedged aegiance to simpe ideas. As much as the sounds, the spectace and the changing cuture in the 54th ACMs might shock those who participated in the first version, the 2019 overview showed country is sti, in its way, carrying on at east some of its famiy traditions.

19 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE APRIL 8, 2019 PAGE 19 OF 24 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Brad Paisey s My Mirace Finds Its Muse On Two Different Panes She has never had her name in the artist coumn on the Biboard country charts, but Kimbery Wiiams-Paisey has eft an imprint on a good number of singes that have appeared on the ist in the ast 15 years or so. The Brad Paisey tites Then, Perfect Storm, Waitin On a Woman and She s Everything a refect in some way on his wife of 16 years, either in the writing process, the video or his performance. With Paisey s new bues-tipped singe, My Mirace, Wiiams-Paisey is the star of the show once more, though her impact is even deeper. It s widey beieved that a person s reationship with a higher power is refected in their reationships with others on Earth, and My Mirace positions the singer s ove interest as the inspiration for his own faith. It s a circumstance that wi ring famiiar to the average Joe. There s a ong ine of guys that found themseves in the back pew [at church] because the gir goes there, says Paisey. Whie My Mirace owes its yrica inspiration to Wiiams-Paisey, the song might not exist at a were it not for more mundane circumstances. Paisey went severa years ago to the Frankin Guitar Show, an annua spring retai event at The Factory in Midde Tennessee, and ran into severa other prominent guitar freaks: Vince Gi, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band s Jeff Hanna and singer-songwriter Gary Nichoson ( One More Last Chance, The Troube With the Truth ), whose own recording career incudes work under the bues PAISLEY aias Whitey Johnson. Nichoson had spotted a vintage 1930 s Gibson L-00 acoustic guitar on dispay, and he coudn t take his mind off it as he perused the rest of the foor. This one was pretty battered and beaten up, but it was one of those that just had the stuff about it, recas Nichoson. I kind of stashed it behind some other guitars and I got it out of the way of the major traffic, you know, thinking, I m going to have to come ook at this again, cause I got the itch. Nichoson aready owned an L-00, and when he ran into Paisey, he mentioned that he had found a good one. Paisey, it turns out, didn t have one in his coection, but that woud change within minutes. He iteray strummed it one time, just one big od G chord or whatever, says Nichoson. He got his credit card out, and he bought it on the spot. Nichoson didn t mind: Since he aready had one, he et Paisey purchase it with the understanding that they woud write a song together. That happened just a few weeks ater at Paisey s house. Nichoson was aready engaged with a specific musica passage when he arrived, and Paisey discovered that it sounded particuary good on his new Gibson L-00. I was paying some changes that day that I had been fooing with, a certain kind of chord progression that Brad took to, notes Nichoson. He had the genesis of the idea about My Mirace, and we took it from there. It was a fast writing session Paisey had perhaps a 90-minute window before his next meeting and they were mosty happy with the song they knocked out. Paisey tried to record it with producer Luke Wooten (Dierks Bentey, Keie Picker) for the project he was working on at the time (it coud have been either 2014 s Moonshine in the Trunk or 2017 s Love and War both writers are uncertain what year Paisey bought the Gibson), but he had question marks about some of the yrics. I was trying to say the right thing, and I kept tweaking, says Paisey. He tried recording it a second time at a ater date and tweaked some more before giving up yet again. Aong the way, different phrases got revised. The opening ine This is the gospe according to me/a tae of whiskey turned to wine came during one of those aterations, setting up the guy as rugged and unrefined. Additionay, the origina chorus estabished the woman as 5 3, which Wiiams-Paisey scoffed at since it shorted her an inch. Paisey eventuay changed the height in the song to 5 5. She grew an inch, he says, so I was ike, We, I m not rhyming four, I m rhyming with five, and she be happy with that. Eventuay, Paisey brought Dann Huff (Kane Brown, Brett Young) in to co-produce with Wooten, and Paisey payed him an acoustic version of My Mirace. Huff found a John Mayer-ike pusing guitar tone Wooten characterizes it as a heartbeat and it became key to the fina version. The pusing part, I think, ed Ben Sesar, the drummer, to pay a different groove than what was in the other two, says Wooten. It s a itte more restrained with the John Mayer fee. Now it isn t an R&B-sounding record. It s a itte more aid-back and tender, which I think fits the voca, fits the yric. Paisey cut that fina version at the Wheehouse, a residence on his property that he converted into a studio with the back patio serving as the drum room and a coset in the upstairs master bedroom retooed as a voca booth. The ast yrica revision to My Mirace came during the fina voca session, as Paisey took out references to a physica church. I didn t want to focus too much on that, he says. The song is about how you find your faith in a higher power because of the ove you fee for her and aso the miraces she has performed in your ife, so this song shoudn t just be about, We, she ed me to church on Sunday. It s more about the fact that you are the person you re capabe of being because of her. That fina version ends up a three-way conversation among Paisey s human voice, his guitar and stee guitarist Rande Currie. Arista Nashvie reeased My Mirace to country radio via PayMPE on March 11, eaving a one-minute guitar vamp intact at the end of the singe. Paisey s aware that part is ikey to be opped off on radio, but streaming consumers wi sti get to hear it, and the buk of those guitar parts payed on a Fender Teecaster that craftsman Tadeo Gomez signed on Wiiams-Paisey s birthday, Sept. 14 occur between voca phrases throughout the main part of the song. I ve never worked with another artist who iteray sings so that he can pay guitar, says Wooten. To be abe to have the guitar meody be so prominent and ike a conversation with the voca is the target he wants to hit, for sure. It s Nichoson s first mainstream country singe in severa years, a nice setup to the June 7 reease of two new abums: The Great Divide, issued under his own name, and his Johnson project, More Days Like This. My Mirace is currenty at No. 49 on Country Airpay. Whie it s not the first time Wiiams-Paisey has infuenced a song that has made that chart, it is, suggests Paisey, the cosest he has gotten yet to defining her roe in his word. There are so many things that I ve done over the years that I m proud of that were at her kind of prodding or her beief in me, he says. I typicay istened to her, thankfuy. JEFFLIPSKY
