Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern surprised them with word that they woud be part of the 2019 cass of Country Music Ha of Fame inductees. The Ha press conference, as it turned out, woud precede the Reboot reease by 18 days, heightening the duo s profie in a key marketing period not that they were thinking about the business ramifications for the abum as Trahern reveaed the honor. BROOKS & DUNN It was just a pregnant pause, remembers Dunn. His duo partner, Kix Brooks, was more openy moved, he recas, but for Dunn, it was just ike, Whoa, I need to take this home and think about it for a whie. He started mentioning a the peope that are in. I don t see me on a pane with Johnny Cash and Mere Haggard. Promotion for Reboot worked we the project debuts at No. 1 on the Top Country Abums chart dated Apri 20 bringing attention to an abum that partnered Brooks & Dunn with the ikes of Luke Combs, Brothers Osborne and Jon Pardi, younger artists who, perhaps, view the duo with the same reverence Brooks & Dunn fee for Cash and Haggard. Reboot is the highestprofie entry in a minor wave of country and country-connected duets abums. Ronnie Misap assembed a guest ist that incudes Luke Bryan, Montgomery Gentry and the ate Leon Russe for The Duets, a 13-song package that arrived Jan. 18. Shery Crow seeded a forthcoming coaborative abum with such country artists MILSAP as Vince Gi, K r i s Kristofferson and the ate Johnny Cash, in addition to non-country acts Brandi Carie, Keith Richards and James Tayor. And Rodney Crowe just announced Texas (Aug. 15), a portrait of the Lone Star State that features such guests as Lee Ann Womack, Ringo Starr and Randy Rogers on seven of its 11 tracks. BROOKS & DUNN: MILLER MOBLEY

2 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE APRIL 15, 2019 PAGE 2 OF 20 After we finished [Reboot], I read somewhere there was a Ronnie Misap coaboration out, and I immediatey caed Carence because I was under the impression this was a unique idea and concept right now at this time in the business, says Dunn. I thought, if anything, that s where the project woud have an edge. Both Brooks & Dunn and Misap endeavored to cut their projects with the guest artists in the room. That s part of the reason that Misap needed a good two years to piece The Duets together. A ot of the troube, he says, was trying to coordinate schedues with other artists. Puing together their cassic hits with a new set of creative eyes heped bring attention to the breadth of their careers. In Misap s case, that means a mix of Southern rock (ZZ Top s Biy Gibbons joins him on Southern Boys and Detroit Whees ), traditiona country (George Strait guests on Houston Soution ) and nostagic tites (Litte Big Town assists on Lost in the Fifties Tonight ). Misap s styistic easticity was, in fact, one of the reasons he signed in 1973 with RCA s country division, ed at the time by Jerry Bradey, who ironicay joins Brooks & Dunn as a new Ha of Fame inductee. He signed me to RCA, and I coudn t beieve it when it happened, notes Misap. He said, That son of a bitch can sing country. He thought I was a rock n ro singer, R&B singer, and I was. Reboot simiary demonstrates the wide-ranging impact of Brooks & Dunn. The abum knits together Midand s utra-country vibe on Boot Scootin Boogie, Kane Brown s gospe infections on Beieve and Kacey Musgraves vocoder-tinged digitization of Neon Moon. Thomas Rhett introduced modern oops and finger snaps into My Maria in a way that sti works. Brett Young makes a bue-eyed sou connection on Ain t Nothing Bout You. Neither Brooks & Dunn nor Misap used previous coaborative projects as a reference, though there have been penty through the years. Wiie Neson has severa, incuding 1985 s Haf Neson, a compiation of mosty previousy reeased duets; three ive Wiie Neson & Friends abums in the mid-2000s pued from USA Network concert specias; and 2013 s To A the Girs, featuring 18 pairings with femaes. Ray Chares banded a series of country acts together for his Nashvie-buit mid- 80s abum Friendship and ater won an abum of the year Grammy for the coaborative Genius Loves Company. Wayon Jennings, John Prine, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Evis Presey and Tammy Wynette had mutiguest duet abums, too. In more recent years, Lione Richie s Tuskegee reimagined his soo hits and Commodores songs with country partners, whie The Doobie Brothers put a Nashvie spin on their cataog with Southbound. Reba McEntire s Duets matched her with country and pop artists on mosty new materia. There s a big promotiona vaue to such projects it s part of the reason that the Academy of Country Music Awards teamed Jason Adean with Forida Georgia Line, Ashey McBryde with Eric Church, Miranda Lambert with Strait and actress Chrissy Metz with four country acts and a gospe choir on the Apri 7 CBS teecast. Sti, two artists don t aways mesh, particuary when it comes to finding the right key for a song. Dunn recas working in vain with Aison Krauss on a version of Seven Bridges Road that Don Heney had tracked that was outside of Dunn s range. He and Heney agreed that it better suited Gi in the ong run. It s good to be there when the tracks go down so you can figure that stuff out, surmises Dunn, not after the fact. The mystery that s inherent in duets is part of the reason that artists, and fans, keep returning to coaborative abums. The ones that don t work are often ocked in vauts. The ones that do sometimes bring a new dimension to famiiar music. Doy Parton did that for Misap s The Duets by rewriting Smoky Mountain Rain to sip a jited femae perspective into the mix. ( She aways refers to me as her bind date, says Misap with a augh. That s my Doy. ) Cody Johnson s Reboot version of Red Dirt Road simiary turns Brooks & Dunn s driving andmark into a refective, acoustic bues/ fok baad. The successes reinvigorate the artists feeings about songs they ve payed perhaps thousands of times. And the new versions invite isteners to ook at artists and their body of work in a different way. That s been one of my favorite things through this Reboot process is the fact that peope are taking about this music and how it stood the test of time, says Brooks. Nobody s taking about confetti and infatabes and baoons. We spent thousands of doars making these big messes [in concert] every night, and nobody s taking about it. They re taking about the music. Luke Combs (eft) took an ownership roe as songwriter Jonathan Singeton ( A Guy Waks Into a Bar ) turned his 50 Egg Music into a pubishing/artist deveopment company. They are shown with 50 Egg president Tai Canterbury. Garth Brooks chatted with guest host Jenna Bush Hager on Apri 8 for Verizon s Buid series of onine interviews at the Buid Studio in New York. Aaron Watson (right) met up with KSCS/KPLX Daas-Fort Worth PD Mac Danies at the Westwood One Backstage radio remotes in Las Vegas.

It advances with a 2% gain to 37.1 miion audience impressions in the week ending Apri 14, according to Niesen Music. The song is the ead singe from Young s sophomore major-abe abum, Ticket to L.A., which aunched as his first No. 1 on Top Country Abums in December. Here dethrones Luke Combs Beautifu Crazy (River House/Coumbia Nashvie) after seven weeks atop Country Airpay (36.3 miion, down 6%). The atter song remains tied for the second-ongest rue in the chart s history, a week from matching the two ongest-eading No. 1s, both with eight weeks in charge: Aan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett s It s Five O Cock Somewhere (2003) and Lonestar s Amazed (1999). Sti, Crazy contros the mutimetric Hot Country Songs chart for an eighth week, up 48% to 17,000 sod and 4% to 14.4 miion U.S. streams in the week ending Apri 11 after Combs performed it on the 54th Academy of Country Music Awards on Apri 7.

The a-star coaborative effort finds Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn covering their hits with the such artists as Luke Combs, Kacey Musgraves and Thomas Rhett. Eight of the set s 12 songs are updates of the tandem s 20 Hot Country Songs No. 1s, taied between 1991 and Sometimes the stars just ine up, and good things happen, says Dunn. The success of this record is a tribute to the power of coaboration, which aowed this record to sing. Adds Brooks, It is hard to beieve after a these years that this music is at the top of Biboard s Top Country Abums chart. I ove these songs, and we owe a big thanks to a the amazing artists who brought them to ife again. I don t remember ever having more fun in the studio. Everybody says that, but I reay think the proof is in the grooves! Reboot is Brooks & Dunn s seventh Top Country Abums No. 1 and first since their 2009 best-of package #1s and Then Some. On the a-genre Biboard 200, the coection arrives at No. 8, marking the pair s 10th top 10 and breaking it out of a tie with Rasca Fatts for the most among country duos/groups in the chart s 63-year history. REBA RETURNS Reba McEntire debuts at No. 4 on Top Country Abums with Stronger Than the Truth (Rockin R/Big Machine/BMLG), which opens with 21,000 equivaent abum units (20,000 sod). The set aunches as her 27th top 10, a sum that incudes 13 No. 1s. Dating to McEntire s first week in the top 10 amost 33 years ago (Apri 19, 1986), when her debut eader, Whoever s in New Engand, rose 11-8, she boasts the most top 10s among women; Doy Parton and Trisha Yearwood foow with 14 each in that span. Among a artists, McEntire trais George Strait (37) and matches Aan Jackson for the most top 10s in that stretch. IN THE TOP 10 Thomas Rhett basts back to the Hot Country Songs top 10 and a new peak (13-4) with Look What God Gave Her (Vaory). After he performed the song on the Apri 7 Academy of Country Music Awards and was named mae vocaist of the year for a second time, the song surges by 136% to 19,000 sod and 36% to 7.8 miion U.S. streams as it bounds 5-2 on Country Digita Song Saes and 18-7 on Country Streaming Songs. The track aso buets at No. 14 on Country Airpay, up 3% to 17.9 miion in radio reach.

From eft: Big Kenny Aphin, Tennessee Gov. Bi Lee, John Rich and Nashvie Mayor David Briey. EARL THOMAS CONLEY REMEMBERED Thirty years ago, months after Ear Thomas Coney s recording of What She Is (Is a Woman in Love) had hit No. 1 on Hot Country Songs, Coney sti had reservations about whether he d naied the track. He had changed some of the voca rhythm and infections, and it had become popuar enough that fans mimicked his exact nuances as they sang aong with the fina recording. And yet, Coney sti fet he owed an apoogy to songwriter Bob McDi for messing up the phrasing. He took it to another eve, McDi refected ater. No apoogies were required. Coney died Apri 10 in Nashvie, eaving behind a carefuy crafted body of work that was vasty underappreciated. From , he was a veritabe hit machine, ofting 26 singes into the top 10 with an impressive 18 reaching No. 1, and yet it s ikey that a majority of contemporary country fans were unfamiiar with his name et aone his work when the news of his passing ripped across the genre s websites. Many of those stories focused on his chart precedent Don t Make It Easy for Me was the first country abum to yied four No. 1 singes or on Hoding Her and Loving You, a ove-triange baad penned by Wat Adridge and Tommy Brasfied that earned song of the year from the Nashvie Songwriters Association Internationa in But Coney was an accompished writer in his own right, abe to eevate the wordpay that was in vogue at the time for country and to mine the compexities in reationships with a canny subtety. Particuary in his mid- and uptempo songs, he coud ay out an emotiona and mine with great care, as he did in Your Love s on the Line, but enveop it in such a rewarding musica package that the istener coud go years before bothering to unpack the yrica specifics. Working with producers Neson Larkin and Randy Scruggs, Coney spun out a string of radio-ready gems featuring an identifiaby soufu twang. The arrangements and emotions were easiy digested by casua isteners but highy rewarding for fans who dove deeper, earning Coney a reputation for making thinking-man s country. His work intersected with numerous artistic careers he penned hits for Conway Twitty and Me Street; picked up duet hits with Emmyou Harris, Gus Hardin, Anita Pointer and Keith Whitey; and even empoyed a coupe of Eton John s musicians (Dee Murray and Nige Osson) as background vocaists on some mid- 80s recordings. Coney s work ikewise intertwined so we with mainstream country in the 1980s that he paced at east one hit-bound tite on the chart in every singe year that started 198_. He was adventurous enough reguary empoying Eagestinged harmonies and embedding Somewhere Between Right and Wrong with a yricon (essentiay an eectronic sax) that he fit during the genre s popfavored Urban Cowboy years. But Coney was aso country-centric enough that he continued without a hitch even after the format fipped to New Traditionaism. Coney was an important inchpin in those eras. The ony apoogy required might be faiing to fuy recognize his contribution whie he was here.

15 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE APRIL 15, 2019 PAGE 15 OF 20 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Scotty McCreery Paints From A Fu Paette With In Between When Scotty McCreery went out for a recent dinner with his wife, Gabi, the restaurant owner, who counts himsef a fan, decided to pay McCreery s first abum, Cear As Day, in tribute to the singer. It was a sentimenta move, but it was aso jarring for McCreery, who found himsef reiving a portion of his ife when he hadn t yet figured out his identity. It wasn t tough to isten to, he says, but hoy cow, it s a ot different now. McCreery, of course, came to prominence in 2011 as a green 17-year-od American Ido contestant with a preternaturay deep voice and an affinity for ow-pitched country songs. Eight years ater, he now sees the hafway point from then to now the in-between spot in his nationa journey as a key moment in which he began edging his way from a raw, unvarnished taent to a poished, convincing storyteer. I don t know if it was forced twang or if I had just a ot of twang in my voice, he says. I fee ike now, I m just singing. I don t know if I fet ike I had to be country when I was 17, but I fee ike now I m just kind of being me. In 2015, a 21-year-od McCreery documented his ife in a persona way. Just weeks after his grandfather died, he paid tribute by writing Five McCREERY More Minutes at the Poo House, a studio owned by producer Frank Rogers (Brad Paisey, Darius Rucker). One week ater, he came back to Rogers pace for a songwriting session with Jessi Aexander ( I Drive Your Truck, Turnin Me On ) and Jonathan Singeton ( Yours If You Want It, Why Don t We Just Dance ), and they spent a substantia amount of time taking about his then-current ifestye as a coege student who shared a house with a few other 20-somethings but woud jet away periodicay for a concert or to wak an awards-show carpet. Scotty was at a big transitiona period in his ife, recas Rogers. Peope were ooking at him one way, and in his head he was heading another way, but he was kind of in between a ot of things. It just kind of came from natura conversation. That in between phrase had a ring to it, and they eyed it as the tite they were working toward. The opening images A itte bit bacap/litte bit of pear-snap button-down shirt showed the competing pieces of his personaity: casua and dressed-up, but an understated, reguar guy either way. A four writers began paying with the contrasts in their own personaities, then found a way to make their stories fit McCreery. I ove writing who I am -type songs, says Aexander. It s hard to do without the artist in the room. You don t know exacty their story. So I remember ooking to Scotty ike, Is that OK? Can we say that? You OK with that? Is that rea? Is that true for you? Every ine in that song went through that fiter. The second coupet, which baances big-city concrete and sma-town dirt, rang true for McCreery, who grew up on the outskirts of Raeigh, N.C. It aso made sense as an image for a big chunk of the country audience, which has transformed from mosty rura isteners to a popuation centered in the suburbs: in between the city and the country. Sti, they needed a reason for McCreery to buet-point the opposites in his personaity. That came in the pre-chorus, as they estabished a conversation with a woman who is trying to determine whether he might be wiing to turn his me viewpoint into a we perspective. The pre-chorus thus unintentionay mimics the song s In Between tite whie providing its subte gue. That is a very important ine of the song, and it s in between the verse and the chorus, says McCreery. That s actuay pretty coo. It was McCreery who provided the setup ine near the end of the chorus I ain t a hoy water/and I ain t a Jim Beam that keyed his own persona story into country s ong-estabished dichotomy: Saturday-night sinner and Sunday-morning saint. It put a bow on a those contradictions. It makes him more compex in some ways because a guy that is just either/ or, you re ony deaing with a coupe of coors in the paette, surmises Aexander. If you re in between, you can take a itte red, a itte bue, a itte green, a itte pink, a itte purpe. It s just everything. I think it makes you more interesting. They recorded a guitar/voca demo, and Rogers packaged it with four or five other songs, incuding Five More Minutes, for a demo session. As In Between took shape, he carved out a ight start with at east one guitar or other stringed instrument pucking at each eighth note to create separation from Five More Minutes. In Between and Five More Minutes were Scotty s favorite songs, and going in, you coud reay te he wanted those to be singes, says Rogers. I wanted to make sure that if they were back-toback singes that In Between had a itte more movement to it. They recorded the master at The Caste, a studio in suburban Frankin, Tenn., that was founded in part by gangster A Capone during the Depression and operated for a time as an underground casino. The musicians seemed to share McCreery s feeings about In Between, too. Some songs just mean a itte more than others, and this was one that foks around the room were kind of ooking around and they were smiing at each other whie they were paying it, recas McCreery. Once we came back and istened to it, it was just fist bumps and that kind of thing going around the room. It was definitey bumpy for McCreery when he recorded his fina voca. It was one of the first songs where he started exporing his upper register and saving the ower notes to maximize their impact. The syabes fa in a way that requires him to use some power in the most vunerabe range of his voice. The I m in between that ong eeeeen note it s just a different note to sing, he says. It s very brassy, an in-the-front-of-your-face kind of thing, which isn t how I normay sing. McCreery was sti signed to Mercury Nashvie at the time, but the abe s reaction varied from the musicians response and from McCreery s. The company seected Southern Bee over Five More Minutes and In Between as a singe, and when it stopped at No. 45 on Country Airpay, he parted ways with the abe. Eventuay, he was abe to purchase some of his unreeased masters, and he independenty dropped Five More Minutes in tandem with Tripe 8 Management. Tripe Tigers picked him up as its second artist and pushed that song (and foow-up This Is It, which he penned for his engagement) to No. 1. Tripe Tigers reeased In Between to country radio via PayMPE on March 18. It topped the New and Active ist. dated Apri 13 and debuts on the Country Airpay chart dated Apri 20 at No. 57. McCreery obviousy hopes it might become a third straight No. 1. I ve aways beieved in it from the minute we wrote it, he says. It s a song I fee ike tes foks who I am, and I fee ike a ot of foks wi isten to this song and think, Man, that kind of sounds ike me. You never know what s going to catch on or not. That s TBD, but I just beieve in it. I m excited that it s getting its chance. JEFF RAY
