Teaming two superstar acts an edgy-sounding young duo sti hungry for new experiences and a grainy veteran who has pretty much seen it a is an obvious attention-getter. But odged in the chorus are a coupe of ines that quiety speak voumes: You earn to fy/if you can t, then you just freefa. It s an embrace of risk-taking, of jumping off a ciff, and it s something that s increasingy difficut the higher you soar. Forida Georgia Line had practicay nothing to ose when it introduced its tight harmonies and hip-hop infuences with its 2012 breakthrough singe, Cruise. But in 2016, there s penty at risk. Cruise spent a record 24 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, crowning the ist when Biboard pubished a summation earier this month of the genre s a-time greatest singes. FGL became one of the poster acts as country attracted egions of young foowers, and Tyer Hubbard and Brian Keey went on to caim three straight Country Music Association trophies as duo of the year. Admiraby, Forida Georgia Line takes some notabe creative risks with its third abum, Dig Your Roots (due Aug. 26). The FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE pair s trademark hard-edged harmonies, rhythmic intensity and Hubbard s identifiabe twang sti form a basic sonic foundation. But the duo veers more frequenty from its past. The tempos are more restrained, Keey takes more ead voca turns, and the songs tend to avoid back-road parties in favor of famiia ceebrations. It s as if they took that freefa ine to heart, gambing that the audience wi foow them as they transition from rebe kids to driven aduts. B.K. and I are being reay vunerabe, suggests Hubbard, acknowedging the topica shift. That s aways risky when someone s vunerabe. You put yoursef out there, you risk your emotions, and you risk the reputation you re going to have and what peope are going to think about it. But for us it was important. We just want to be rea; we want to be transparent. We think that s what our fans deserve and especiay with this record, we re going a itte deeper. We re etting the fans in on our ife and who we are. The resuts are noticeabe. Dig Your Roots is meatier, more substantive in its subject matter and more reserved in its tempo. H.O.L.Y., the ead singe, set the pace with its rich, pianobased arrangement and spiritua-eaning yrics, and the pubic responded, vauting it to No. 1 on Hot Country Songs for 16 weeks. Where FGL s first hits, incuding Cruise and This Is How We Ro, buzzed with urgency and iving for the mo- FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE: JIM WRIGHT

2 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE AUGUST 22, 2016 PAGE 2 OF 19 ment, the materia on Dig Your Roots embraces a wider, camer view. It takes a hard ook at the oss of previous generations in the tite track and Whie He s Sti Around, and aims for a dependabe, ong-term future in such baads as Lifer and Grow Od. Being that we re both around the age of 30, you reay start to think about starting a famiy, raising kids, says Tyer. What are you going to teach your kids? How are you going to raise them? I mean, a these things you start to tak about, which ends itsef to us creating that same type of conversation in the writing room. It makes for a winning dynamic on the concert stage. Historicay, baads weighed heaviy in country s success, and penty of acts fought against sagging ive shows, stocking as many uptempo abum cuts and covers as possibe between their sower hits to keep a sembance of energy. When FGL showcased the Roots materia during an Aug. 2 concert for a few hundred Pandora isteners in Nashvie, they had no such difficuties. The newer songs fit in nicey among its estabished hits. The frenetic, high-energy stuff was sti a major component, but it aowed FGL to introduce its new, more mature tites without creating a u. It has given us a pretty diverse set, and it s creating moments and dynamics that we haven t had, says Keey. That makes it interesting not ony for us onstage but for the fans. We were kind of party-heavy or fee-good heavy, if you wi but now that we ve got Dirt and H.O.L.Y. and Confession and these new songs, I think it s we-rounded, and it s showing depth as we. You can t just abe us [as] one thing. Many of the sounds that infuenced Forida Georgia Line are apparent on Dig Your Roots as it fods other artists into the yrics and guest ist. McGraw s voca and a reference to George Strait s Check Yes or No in Lifer revea the country ineage in their persona histories. Backstreet Boys show up on God, Your Mama, and Me, underscoring their pop roots. Ziggy Marey whose father Bob got a nod in the yrics to FGL s 2015 hit Sun Daze aids the isand sensibiity on Life Is a Honeymoon. The duo s hip-hop background ikewise gets recognized with a Tupac Shakur name-check in May We A. A of those infuences are presented with a certain authority. The vocas on Dig Your Roots are approached with a reaxed confidence instead of a fiery bravado. It makes for an interesting mix. With a few exceptions, producer Joey Moi (Chris Lane, Jake Owen) ayered a ot of atmospheric sounds underneath the music. FGL s unwavering vocas hint at the same attitude that Kenny Chesney presented in Noise : Amid the commotion and distraction of the digita era, Keey and Hubbard seem intent on cutivating their own unique voices. There s tons going on around us, says Hubbard. Everything s happening at 100 mies per hour, and it s important to be abe to kind of bock that out at times and just kind of remember who you are and just stay focused. Maybe the noise that you re hearing is the chaos of the ast coupe of years. If so, the strength they appy above it may be the sound of two guys finding order in a of that madness.

4 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE AUGUST 22, 2016 PAGE 4 OF 19 ON THE CHARTS JIM ASKER jim.asker@biboard.com Dan + Shay Up To No. 1 On Country Airpay; Justin Moore Bows Atop Top Country Abums Dan + Shay s From the Ground Up (Warner Bros./Warner Atantic Reprise) rises 2-1 in its 29th week on Biboard s Country airpay chart (dated Sept. 3), increasing by 8 percent to 45.4 miion audience impressions, according to Niesen Music. The ead singe from Dan + Shay s sophomore abum, Obsessed, which debuted at its No. 2 peak on Top Country Abums (June 25), is the second consecutive Country Airpay eader for the duo of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney; Nothin Like You crowned the Country Airpay chart dated Dec. 19, The pair arrived with the No. 11-peaking 19 You + Me (2014) and foowed up with Show You Off (No. 21, 2015) before ogging its first two eaders. Co-written by Smyers and Mooney with Chris DeStefano, Ground was inspired by the duo s respective grandparents. It s specia when a song born from rea ife touches the fans DAN + SHAY enough to become No. 1, says Cumuus Media vp programming Charie Cook. This song had a strong buzz right from the beginning, and a baad paying a summer and peaking in ate August is a testament to Dan + Shay joining the top tier of performers. From the moment I heard the song, I knew it was a timeess cassic, praises Warner Music Nashvie chairman/ceo John Esposito. I immediatey gathered our entire staff with Dan + Shay to share the new music. It was a very specia moment istening together for the first time. Its emotion is undeniaby papabe. MOORE SUCCESS After a three-year wait, Justin Moore s fourth studio fuength, Kinda Don t Care (Vaory/Big Machine Labe Group), arrives at No. 1 on Top Country Abums, seing 37,000 copies in its first week (ending Aug. 18). On the a-genre mutimetric consumption Biboard 200, the set opens at No. 4 with 42,000 equivaent abums. The abum is Moore s third straight No. 1 (and No. 1 debut) LP on Top Country Abums, foowing Off the Beaten Path (2013; it aunched with 65,000 sod) and Outaws Like Me (2011; 34,000). On the Biboard 200, those sets reached Nos. 2 and 5, respectivey. Moore now boasts four top 10s on both Top Country Abums and the Biboard 200, as his eponymous 2009 debut LP bowed and peaked at Nos. 3 and 10 on the charts, respectivey. It s so humbing to wake up one day with the No. 1 [country] abum in the country, Moore tes Biboard. Thanks to the fans, I ve been abe to experience that three straight times we have put an abum out. This may be the most specia, seeing as how it s been three years since my ast one. I hope everyone knows how much it is appreciated. The ead singe from the new set, You Look Like I Need a Drink, ascends to a new high on Hot Country Songs, rising On Country Airpay, Drink becomes Moore s sixth top five hit (10-5; 32.1 miion, up 13 percent). HIGH ON THE CHART On Hot Country Songs, which combines airpay, saes and streaming data, Forida Georgia Line s H.O.L.Y (BMLG) rues for a 16th week. It aso dominates Country Digita Songs (35,000 sod) for a 16th week and Country Streaming Songs (5.8 miion U.S. streams) for a 14th frame. (It hods at No. 8 on Country Airpay after eading the Aug. 6 ist.) The track moves into a fourth-pace tie for the most weeks at No. 1 in the Hot Country Songs chart s 58-year history, matching Buck Owens Love s Gonna Live Here ( ). FGL is chasing its own record, as its Cruise hods the tite: 24 weeks at No. 1 in NO JINX FOR JINKS I m Not the Devi (Cody Jinks/Thirty Tigers), from Texas singer-songwriter Cody Jinks, enters at No. 4 on Top Country Abums with 11,000 sod. It s his first appearance on the tay. Aso on Top Country Abums, Dyan Scott s sef-tited debut fu-ength (Curb) arrives at No. 5 with 9,000 sod. On Hot Country Songs, Scott s My Gir re-enters at a new high point of No. 40. A GOOD WORD Bake Sheton s She s Got a Way With Words (Warner Bros./ WMN) enters the Country Airpay top 10 (11-10, 26.8 miion, up 4 percent), marking his 26th top 10 on the tay.

From eft: CTK Management CEO Danny Noze, Parton, SiriusXM music programmer Jeremy Tepper and Webster & Associates president/ceo Kirt Webster. KEITH, KREE SEPARATELY UNITED During Kree Harrison s 2013 run as a contestant on American Ido, judge Keith Urban predicted that Harrison woud one day be a member of the Grand Oe Opry. So it was somewhat ironic that when Harrison payed an abum-reease party at Nashvie s Basement East on Aug. 16, Urban was performing the same night on the Opry. In fact, if you tuned in to WSM-AM Nashvie after Harrison wrapped, you were apt to coide with an arena-rock guitar soo from Urban that sounded much more ike Journey than Roy Acuff. Appropriatey, both Harrison and Urban gave essons ast week on mixing country and other genres. Harrison s show attended by Brothers Osborne, makers of their own styistic stew featured neary every song on her abum, This Od Thing, which veers among Stax sou, cassic country and traditiona pop whie showcasing her emotive taents. Backed by a band that incuded both a stee guitar and a two-piece horn section, Harrison skittered and roed through the meodies during her concert with a skied restraint, invariaby enhancing the songs rather than caing attention to hersef. She was spicy when appropriate, smoky when needed and demonstrated how music that was once categorized in separate formats is now nicey compatibe. Urban foowed his Opry appearance with an invitation-ony Aug. 17 event, Inside the Songs of Ripcord, that incuded a engthy Q&A with CMT senior vp music strategy and taent Lesie Fram and some breakdowns of the tracks on his atest abum. He recaed the infuence he gathered from his father s interest in both jazz drummer Gene Krupa and smooth country singer Don Wiiams, and remembered getting fired for paying a chicken-pickin guitar soo during a show with a heavy-meta band. Urban payed aong with isoated tracks from Ripcord, showing, for exampe, how he was abe to bend a country instrument such as the ganjo with the frenzied R&B rhythm guitar of Nie Rodgers, meshing very disparate parts in an unpredictabe way. Urban s agreement with producer Dann Huff (Brantey Gibert, Rasca Fatts) is that they just can t do the same thing they have done before, Huff said during the Ripcord event, which underscores Urban s ever-changing sonics. By using new combinations of sound, Harrison and Urban got to the nexus of art. Rea artists are intent on expressing themseves uniquey and finding new frontiers. It keeps the artist and the genre fresh. MOVERS & SHAKERS The Madison Square Garden Company acquired a 12 percent stake in Townsquare Media. The radio chain owns 310 stations in 66 markets, incuding such New York-based country signas as WYRK Buffao and WGNA Abany, and a ong ist of websites, incuding tasteofcountry.com The Mid-Atantic region in iheartmedia s Northeast Division was reaigned with the Batimore and Washington, D.C., markets, now forming a Washington, D.C., region.

13 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE AUGUST 22, 2016 PAGE 13 OF 19 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Frankie Baard s Cigarette Smokes, Owes Sexy Vibe To Three Feow Artists It opens with a brash eectric guitar, carving out the offbeats with a massive echo. Frankie Baard s Cigarette has a bod, in-your-face tone made by just a handfu of musicians, and it provides a strong snapshot of the mentaity behind his third abum, E Rio. Four or five instruments, payed by human beings, can come up with something sti that sounds reay big and fresh, says Baard. We were going for some exposive sound with minima technoogy. To get the desired effect, Baard eschewed the typica Nashvie recording approach, in which session payers work during a series of three-hour bocks at oca studios, go home, then come back the next day for another series of sessions, ikey for a competey different artist. Instead, Baard assembed a sma group of top-eve payers, rented a bus and headed off on an excursion to E BALLARD Paso, Texas, where they hoed up for a week to record at Sonic Ranch, a secuded spot near the Mexico border that has served as a creative home for such eft-of-center acts as indie singer-songwriter Conor Oberst and at-rock group Band of Horses. They departed Nashvie on March 31, 2015, stopping twice for ong days of rehearsas first at the Musce Shoas Sound Studio in Sheffied, Aa., then at the Granada Theater in Daas before arriving at the Ranch, which has its own housing units, aowing an artist to stay on the property, focused on the task at hand, for the entire stay. We wanted to have these guys bonded together by the time we got to Sonic Ranch, says producer Marsha Atman (Eric Pasay, Marc Broussard). So we met at my studio on a Tuesday morning and oaded up a this gear ourseves, no cartage, no nothing. We worked a good 12 or 14 hours [each day], oaded our gear back on the traier, got on the bus and sept. By the third day, we were a tough itte army. Cigarette became the song that Baard payed first when music-industry acquaintances wanted to know what E Rio sounded ike, though the credits suggest that he never shoud have had a shot at it. Cigarette was penned by three other artists Chris Stapeton, Kip Moore and The Cadiac Three singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston in Stapeton hadn t yet broken out as an artist, and The Cadiac Three wasn t in an abum cyce. Moore inserted Cigarette in his ive set for severa years, but it didn t end up fitting his second abum in I was cose to putting it on the Wid Ones record, and I never did, says Moore. Frankie wanted to cut it, and I was ike, Go for it. Moore it the fire for Cigarette during a songwriting session at a Music Row studio where Johnston worked at the time. The three writers were focused on a different tite when Moore took a break. I have a bad habit of smoking cigarettes when I write music, he says. For some reason, it makes me think, and I stepped out to have a smoke and I saw this gir right as I was waking outside. I saw her put a cigarette in the ashtray, and it had red ipstick around the cigarette butt. When Moore waked back in the room, he had the opening ines of the chorus I want to be your cigarette/smoking on so coo and it became the day s focus. Chris immediatey jumped in on the back haf of the chorus, recas Moore. Jaren is a kier guitar payer. He took the guitar riff that I was doing and spruced it up a itte bit more, and then a of a sudden, we were a fying pretty fast on it. It was competed in roughy 90 minutes as the writers buit on each other s ideas. They got the chorus finished first, then went back to the start, kicking off the first verse with a fairy precise anaysis of a singe puff of smoke. Once the woman s action is estabished, the verse turns to the man s reaction. Stapeton goes, A I can think about/is a that I can think about/and I keep thinking about it, thinking about it, and I was ike, Oh, that s awesome, says Johnston. I don t know what that means exacty, but I oved the way that sang. The second verse introduces a big, bad barfy, and the protagonist watches whie the woman essentiay bows him off. It s not cear from the yrics whether the singer ever approaches her and/or attempts to rescue her from the ounge izard, though none of the creatives in the process see him becoming that assertive. He didn t necessariy have to get the person, says Moore. It was just a decaration of infatuation. Stapeton sang ead for the demo, and Johnston finished it up ater, adding some breathy aaahs in key paces particuary at the end of the chorus turning the figurative exhae of smoke into part of the song s rhythm. I aways try to put as many hooks in as I possiby can, says Johnston. Baard heard through the programmed eements in the demo and saw it as a song that woud hep him stamp my new sound, he says. The fina arrangement came together on Apri 1, the second day of the trip to E Paso. Guitarist Rob McNeey created a background arpeggiation, and Baard chimed in with the big, bright chords. That Granada Theater had such a great sound to it, recas Atman. The snare and the guitar reay sounded amazing, because it was just this giant cavern. The sounds became even bigger when they tacked Cigarette at the Sonic Ranch on Apri 5. The band recorded as a group in the center room, but the amps were paced in their own chambers to give them separation on the recorded tracks. Baard s guitar basted into its room through two amps, with ots of echo. That s a very cassic sort of guitar tone, but it works so great for that staccato kind of part there at the top, says Baard. It just sounds so angry. The bridge took a different attitude, with a Meotron a keyboard that creates hazy sampes of rea instruments and reverse echos forming a surrea sensibiity. We wanted to make it ike a dream sequence, says Atman. Like in the 70s on The Brady Bunch whenever there was a dream sequence, the screen woud get a wavy and you d hear a theremin in the background. That s how Frankie and I wanted it to fee. The band got it on the third take. They returned to Nashvie on Apri 8, and Baard aid down the fina voca at Atman s studio the next day. It was more than a year before E Rio was officiay reeased, on June 10. Baard aways envisioned Cigarette as a singe, and Warner Bros. sent it to radio via Pay MPE on Juy 25. It resides at No. 2 on the New & Active chart, essentiay ready to aunch on Country Airpay whie operating in its own styistic ane on country radio. I want to be the guy with the fresh new sound, says Baard. I can remember as a kid thinking about a DJ going, Ladies and gentemen, here s the new one from Frankie Baard. He s the guy with that hot new sound. That s the dream.

14 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE AUGUST 22, 2016 PAGE 14 OF 19 THE STARK REPORT PHYLLIS STARK After A Rocky Start, Kix Brooks Came Into His Own As A Radio Host Kix Brooks thought he woudn t ast a year as host of American Country Countdown. There s no way that I didn t get fired the first year, he says with a augh. I sucked so bad. Today, Brooks is ceebrating not ony his 10th anniversary as host of the nationay syndicated radio show, but aso a mutiyear renewa of his dea with syndicator Westwood One and parent company Cumuus Media. At the same time, he s happiy reinquishing his weekday overnight show, Kickin It With Kix, admitting that the program was something he never aspired to. Brooks got off to a rocky start after taking over for Bob Kingsey a decade ago at the hem of American Country Countdown then syndicated by ABC Radio Networks and owned by Citade despite the company sending him to interview schoo at the ESPN campus in Connecticut. God bess these affiiates that inherited me, and a radio network that reay stuck their neck out and hung in, he says of those eary days. It was reay a huge earning curve... I was out there in the deep water just padding for my ife. Having never done radio before, other than being on the other side of the microphone during his years as haf of the superstar country duo Brooks & Dunn, Brooks says he had to earn how to host a prerecorded show. In my own arrogant stupidity I thought I coud just be mysef and tak off the cuff a the time and that woud be fun and woud work, and it doesn t. The timing is so important. Obviousy peope want to hear music, but it s not a morning show where you re ive and you just tak and take caers. It s reay got to be tight, he continues. Writing radio is reay different than just riffing for two or three minutes at a time. It s got to be quick, concise, and BROOKS the things you re taking about have to ead into that music in a certain way that s compeing. It took a ong time to figure out how that deivery worked... I woud isten back and go I ve ost these isteners. He eventuay deveoped a successfu technique where he writes down everything he wants to say during each show, then uses those notes as a guideine rather than a hard-and-fast script. That aows him to ad ib and keep the show oose whie sti giving it the continuity it needs. Hopefuy it sounds ike it s a fun and easy, he says, but it takes a ot of prep to get to that pace. A aong, though, Brooks had a secret weapon. As the ony country star hosting a countdown show, he has a rapport with feow artists that gives him an edge in understanding their word. Obviousy Ronnie [Dunn] and I... cimbed a pretty ta mountain and got to ook at the word from the top, he says. Without bringing any kind of arrogance to that, I fee ike my perspective is unique and I do know what these artists are going through. He adds, I reay enjoy our business and visiting with peope, so it s very rewarding to me in a ot of different ways. His techniques are ceary working. Brooks has won the Country Music Association s nationa broadcast personaity of the year award three times. A recent restructuring at Cumuus finds him stepping away from his overnight show to make room for air personaity Bair Garner to create a new program in that spot, a move the singer supports enthusiasticay. When the Dickey [brothers] bought Citade, where the countdown was, and redid my dea, the overnight show came with the dea, he says of adding Kickin It With Kix to his workoad neary four years ago. It was pretty much a take it or eave it. [I was tod], If you want to keep doing the countdown, we need you to do overnights. Quite franky, it was nothing I aspired to do, he continues. I did the best I coud, and I think we put a pretty good show together. But when [Cumuus executive] Mike McVay tod me he was going to move Bair back into overnights, I was ike, That s awesome. Bair is great at overnights. That s his word. I ve certainy encouraged him and congratuated him. I said, Go get your rea estate back. So I m ooking forward to just focusing on the countdown again. Outside of radio, Brooks remains an extremey busy man. He wi once again team with Dunn and Reba McEntire for a new eg of their joint Las Vegas residency at The Coosseum at Caesars Paace beginning in November. He continues to operate Nashvie-area winery Arrington Vineyards. And he wi pubish his first cookbook, Cookin It With Kix: The Art of Ceebrating and the Fun of Outdoor Cooking, on Aug. 30 through the W Pubishing Group, an imprint of Thomas Neson. The cookbook was actuay an outgrowth of an autobiography that got written, then scrapped. Brooks sat for weeky interviews with a ghostwriter, sharing stories about his ife, upbringing and things that were important to him. And whie he iked the finished autobiography, he says in a rare moment of humiity that he questioned whether anyone woud care to read it, and utimatey put this book on the shef. Yet many of those same stories and anecdotes found their way into the cookbook, written with ongtime radio producer and friend Donna Britt. Brooks previousy hosted a one-season Cooking Channe show caed Steak Out With Kix Brooks, and whie he says that he s not a chef and never caimed to be, the program heped him reaize he actuay had quite a bit of expertise in the food area. I ve been running a gri a my ife, or a boiing pot of water or hot oi, or shucking oysters. It s just been a part of where I came from, he says. [So] I thought maybe I just combine some of these stories about my ife, some of my cooking experiences and fun recipes I ve run across and just throw them a together and have a fun cookbook, not some pretentious, big-[name] chef thing. It was a good time putting it together. I did it for mysef, for my famiy and for anybody out there who is not a chef or cook. Don t be surprised to find Brooks putting those cuinary skis to use on TV again in He s working with a New York production company to deveop a new show that he says wi go a itte more in depth with cuture and food than his previous program. The Louisiana native pans to head to his home state to fim a episode that focuses on fine Creoe cuisine, backyard Cajun cooking and the oca music that ties them together. I ve got a this free time, he jokes. I ve got to do something. BROOKS: MICAH KANDROS
