18 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE OCTOBER 23, 2017 PAGE 18 OF 23 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Jon Pardi Goes Strait From Od-Schoo Paybook With She Ain t In It It s happening, right? Jon Pardi is practicay giddy about She Ain t in It. Two years ago, before his abum Caifornia Sunrise was reeased, he was cautiousy hopefu that the countriest song in the set might get a shot as a singe. The genre was, at the time, sti engrossed in the bro-country trend, and it was uncear if or when it might find its way back to a more traditiona sound. But things have changed in the format. Wiiam Michae Morgan peaked at No. 2 on Country Airpay with I Met a Gir, Midand tracked at No. 3 with Drinkin Probem, and Pardi took two trad-infuenced country songs Head Over Boots and Dirt on My Boots to No. 1, whie aunching Heartache on the Dance Foor to No. 3. She Ain t in It, reeased by Capito Nashvie to radio via PayMPE on Oct. 9, pushes the od-schoo sound even more. The descending guitar intro harkens back to George Strait s The Cowboy Rides Away, and its yrica presentation as a one-sided conversation mimics the approach to the Strait hit The Chair. She Ain t in It might be a itte jarring to country s newer isteners, but those other recent utra-country songs have perhaps set the tabe for it. Peope just want to hear a traditiona song these days, suggests Pardi. That s what this is. This is the one that s going to, hopefuy, speak to them. Appropriatey for a trad-country song, She Ain t in It is the direct resut of a broken heart. Songwriter Cint Danies ( Brokenheartsvie, Ro With Me ) went to a birthday party at a time when he was in the midst of what he cas PARDI a difficut but amicabe divorce. One of the women at the party soured his mood She was reay rude, he remembers and he spit, aong with one of the empoyees from the Sea Gaye Music pubishing company. We jump in the car, and we head to midtown, and we re standing in front of [oca bars] Losers and Winners, says Danies. He goes, Which one of these paces do you want to go into? And I said, Man, I don t care, as ong as she ain t in it. Danies recognized that phrase as a potentia tite, and he brought it up to co-writer Wynn Varbe ( Waitin On a Woman, A Litte More Country Than That ) the next day at a writing appointment in the same Sea Gaye office where Steve Eare and Chris Stapeton had done some of their best writing in previous years. Varbe came up with the opening ines Appreciate your ca, means a ot and a/yeah, I got a minute and they were on their way with a phone-chat song that was shaped over the ensuing two or three hours. In the first verse, the singer reveas he s up for a conversation as ong as she ain t in it and in each successive verse, he gives up a itte more incrementa information: first, he admits he s open to going out, then he has figured out the right spot to have a drink as ong as she ain t in it. The trick of the whoe thing is etting the audience in on him a itte bit at a time, says Varbe. By the end, he spis his whoe guts: My ife won t be the same/as ong as she ain t in it. The chorus turns up the fire a notch, but it never actuay mentions the tite. Instead, it simmers back down and ets the next verse reinforce the She Ain t in It banner. We just fet ike we d said the hook of the song penty, and maybe it was cooer not to say it in the chorus, notes Varbe. It ain t ike nobody is going to hear it and say, Now, I wonder what the name of that is. Danies, who charted three songs with Arista and Epic from , sang ead when he recorded a demo weeks ater with a fu band, and the musicians interest in the song confirmed his beief in it, even if its traditiona bent wasn t mainstream at the time. They pay on stuff a day ong every day, says Danies. If it gets their attention, and you see them smiing and you can te they re into it, you know that you re cose. Strait was recording what woud become the Cod Beer Conversation abum, and Danies anded one cut, Wish You We, on the project. Strait put If She Ain t in It on hod, too, but it didn t make it. When Strait et it go, Universa Music Group Nashvie vp A&R Brian Wright took it to Pardi and his co-producer, Bart Buter. It was an easy se. It just had that movin -on thing that every country singer wants to sing about, says Pardi. It s a movin -on song, but I just ove how at the end of it, he s sti not moved on. Pardi tacked it aong with 11 other songs during two days of sessions in September 2015 at Nashvie s Backbird Studios, owned by John and Martina McBride. They went after She Ain t in It the first day, but drummer Mies McPherson dipomaticay voiced some doubts when Buter pushed the tempo up a hair. Mies said, We, I ike the demo tempo, recas Pardi. A good drummer is going to know his tempos, but as a guy working for the producer, he s a team payer. Pardi decided that night that it was indeed too fast, and he convinced Buter the next morning that they shoud take another crack at it. Of course, Mies is ike, I tod you! says Pardi with a augh. Stee guitarist Mike Johnson and fidder Jenee Feenor payed some unison ines unusua in contemporary arrangements and Buter and Pardi encouraged Feenor to stack tripe fiddes at the end of the song, mirroring some cassic Ray Price records and Lee Ann Womack s 2005 Country Music Association singe of the year I May Hate Mysef in the Morning. That was an od-schoo paybook, says Buter. I mean, if you go isten to some George Strait or Keith Whitey, that s what country used to be. The fidde and the stee woud interact and pay with each other. Russe Terre singe-handedy handed a the background vocas, mimicking the sound of Curtis Young and Liana Manis on Strait s 80s and 90s hits. And Pardi whom Buter considers the second coming of Strait naied his ead voca in two takes. He s the guy that s aways worn the cowboy hat, has aways been cean-cut on stage and aways puts on a good show and is trying to keep country music traditiona, says Buter. With the go-ahead from Capito Nashvie as the fourth singe from Caifornia Sunrise, She Ain t in It debuts this week at No. 54. The sound is guaranteed to stand out from the current hit pack, so if broadcasters give it the kind of exposure they provided the three previous singes, Pardi is convinced it wi soidify his brand. Caifornia Sunrise went god, he says, but I sti see on Instagram, Man, I just found this abum, ove it, you know. It s going to be amazing to see what She Ain t in It does on the radio. It s happening, right?
