Ha s I Love >page 20 LANCO, Devin Dawson, Jordan Davis Among 2018 s Country Abum Debuts The first abum is a rite of passage, and five country artists incuding Jordan Davis, Morgan Evans and Ashey McBryde are expected to aunch that inaugura project on U.S. soi in the first six months of 2018, providing an extra sense of their work for fans who ve heard their initia singes but not found the deep cuts to date. It s one of t h e c r u c i a chaenges for a new act, one that both LANCO and D e v i n Dawson get to experience this week. LANCO s Haeujah Nights and Dawson s Dark Horse are both due Jan. 19, backing their first hit singes, Greatest Love Story and A On Me, respectivey, but aso providing roughy 40 minutes more music that aows consumers to get a wider fee for their artistry. That s what I m excited for, for peope come to the shows having istened to the record and experienced these songs on their own, says Dawson. There s something different when you pay a song for somebody for the first time. You can ony reay have them zone in on one or two or three things. Most peope are yric peope, some peope are groove peope, some peope are meody peope, but when you ve experienced the song aready on your own, you hear the things you want to hear and you can go back and isten again [for something ese]. The path to a first fu abum has changed o v e r t i m e. Typicay, one or two tracks m a d e t h e i r way to radio stations before an entire project was found in stores. But with the recent shift toward streaming and with the decreased attention on abums abes have increasingy opted to issue one or more EPs as a buiding bock on the way to that inaugura LP. At east four acts wi ob their first EP into the market between now and June 30: Wheehouse duo Waker McGuire, EMI singer/songwriter Brandon Lay, new Riser House/ Coumbia Nashvie signee Mitche Tenpenny and Average Joes traditionaist Devin Burris. Meanwhie, here s a ook at the five acts expected to take DAVIS DAWSON McBRYDE DAVIS: ERIC RYAN ANDERSON; DAWSON: L JIMMY FONTAINE; MCBRYDE: JOHN PEETS

2 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE that important step during the first haf of 2018 with the abum that sets the tone for their American story: Jordan Davis (MCA Nashvie) Debut Singes You Up estabished Davis commercia tendencies with its hooky chorus and tough-edged production vauting it to No. 24 on Hot Country Songs, but there s more to the Shreveport, La., native than seek surface sounds. The yrica specificity in Sow Dance in a Parking Lot and Leaving New Oreans point to his storyteing abiities, and his conversationa phrasing owes a debt to 1970s fok/ pop figure Jim Croce. With former Boys Like Girs guitarist Pau DiGiovanni handing production, Davis is abe to keep one foot in popuar music s past with the other panted firmy in Home State is due March 23. Devin Dawson (Atantic/WEA) A on Me, positioned at No. 13 on Country Airpay, put Dawson s reassuring message and voca presence in the pubic consciousness at an opportune time, countering the agitated vibes of the nationa discourse. With producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Litte Big Town) overseeing his efforts, Dawson s introductory country abum, Dark Horse, eans on the progressive side with pop-favored meodies and the occasiona artsy touch. He fronted a rock band in Caifornia on his way up, and that infuence can be heard in his phrasing on Dip and Pacebo and in the at-tinged favor of the tite track. Morgan Evans (Warner Music Nashvie) Comparisons to Keith Urban are unavoidabe, since Evans is a feow Aussie with a simiar voca range and a spouse in this case, Kesea Baerini who s aso in the pubic eye. Evans uses an Ed Sheeran-ike oop peda to good effect, backing utra-meodic songs and an amiabe personaity onstage, whie his recordings produced by Chris DeStefano (Chase Rice, Brett Edredge) defty mix a famiiar guitar foundation with exporatory sonics. Whie he has one abum out Down Under, first U.S. singe Kiss Somebody (No. 55, Country Airpay) hints at the compex emotions and the overa positivity at work in his materia. LANCO (Arista Nashvie) With the recent No. 1 singe Greatest Love Story under its bet, LANCO is poised to make waves with the Jan. 19 reease of its debut abum, Haeujah Nights. With drummer Tripp Howe eading the percussive charge, its tracks dance and puse with quasi-anthemic tendencies behind Brandon Lancaster s reatabe, every-man vocas. The band weaves payfu gang vocas into severa tites particuary the good-timin Troube Maker heping them generate audience invovement in their ive shows. For the next few weeks, those dates incude the opening sot on Chris Young s current Losing Seep Tour. Ashey McBryde (Atantic/WEA) Listeners with more than a decade of history in country wi hear a famiiarity in McBryde s A Litte Dive Bar in Dahonega : a voca huskiness and raw vunerabiity simiar to Tammy Cochran, whose Anges in Waiting was one of the most emotiona reeases of But there s an uncommon ferocity to McBryde, too a natura, A rkansas-bred Southernaity and a fair amount of sarcasm and acerbic venom, demonstrated in such YouTubed song tites as I Hate Your New Girfriend, I Ain t Crazy (But I Can Be If I Have To) and You Got Fat, I Got Famous.

This is what I came to Nashvie for many years ago: to be an artist and songwriter. Achieving this No. 1 with a song co-written by me [with Jimmy Robbins and Laura Vetz] is a fufiment of that dream. An artist s first No. 1 song is a specia moment and one to be ceebrated. We pan to do just that, says Sony Music Nashvie chairman/ceo Randy Goodman. Maren was one of the first artist signings in our abe group s new storyine, so witnessing a No. 1 song from such a taented artist and songwriter as Maren makes us proud to say we work aongside her.

15 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE JANUARY 16, 2018 PAGE 15 OF 20 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Luke Combs One Number Away Diaed In To Famiiar Emotion Luke Combs third singe might be current in River House/Coumbia Nashvie marketing schemes, but it s sighty anachronistic at its yrica core. One Number Away finds a tormented guy on his phone, fighting an interna batte over whether he shoud punch in the ast digit and ca his ex. In the age of the andine, that scenario was famiiar to anyone who had gone through a breakup. But now that peope carry their mobies in their back pockets, it s not entirey accurate. Nobody reay dias a whoe phone COMBS number anymore, concedes Combs. They ve just got them in their contact ist. There are, however, exceptions. After an emotiona spit, it s not entirey out of bounds to think that the ex has been deeted, which is pretty much how producer Sammy Mitche one of the song s four writers pictured it. I had recenty gotten out of a ong reationship, and I think we were a in the midst of something ike that, so we a kind of met on that page, says Mitche. We were in the in-between: You need to move on, but you can t. Everyone reates to that. Reeased to country radio via PayMPE on Dec. 4, 2017, One Number Away finds Combs in a much different pace than when he created it. His This One s for You earned a god abum from the RIAA on Nov. 30, 2017, whie the project s first two singes 2016 s Hurricane and 2017 s When It Rains It Pours both topped Biboard s Country Airpay chart. Somewhat remarkaby, he wasn t necessariy expecting that One Number Away woud become a song he might record when he penned it in January 2015 with Mitche, guitarist Rob Wiiford and songwriter-producer Steven Battey, who has had songs recorded by Fo Rida and Madonna as one-haf of the Jackie Boyz. Combs had ony been in Nashvie for four months, and he was simpy trying to secure some behind-the-scenes work. I was honesty trying to get into singing demos, he says. I was trying to make a itte extra money, so I ended up at Sammy s house singing some demos that he and Steven had written. Battey and Wiiford aready had a working reationship, which typicay saw Battey bringing in a meody and Wiiford finding the right arrangement for it on guitar. At the time, Wiiford had been toying with the tite One Headight Away, thinking it woud buid on a rea-ife traffic ticket to generate aughs. I had a busted headight, and I got pued over right in front of Tootsie s one night, he recas. I kind of jokingy had tossed around a One headight away from making it home without going to jai kind of thing, but Steven started taking about One number away, and I was ike, We, that s kind of coo. Some, if not a, of the chorus had aready been estabished before the forma writing session started, and they fied out the verses by focusing the entire song on one sma, decision-making moment in time. In the opening verse, the protagonist envisions his ex at home, staring at the phone, istening to John Mayer. In the second stanza, he considers that she might be in the car, smoking a cigarette and changing the radio station to escape hearing their song. For Wiiford, at east, that coud have been a Mayer song, too. There was a gir in mind when I was writing this tune, and she was a huge John Mayer fan, he says. That s why that got in there. After the initia writing session, Wiiford and Combs massaged it a bit more in a second meeting. They changed a few words, and Combs reshaped the meody a bit to suit him, even if he wasn t going to be the song s eventua singer. One of those aterations turned the three-syabe phrase I m dyin in the chorus into a more meanchoy passage, heping cement the emotion in One Number Away. Wiiford payed guitar for the demo, with Mitche producing the buk of it on his aptop during that first writing session. Combs, of course, banged out the vocas. He sang his ass off on it, and it turned out great, says Wiiford. But he had no pans to record it. In fact, Combs was reticent to perform it ive. He opened for Sundy Best on Feb. 7, 2015, at New Mountain Theatre in Ashevie, N.C., and when Wiiford suggested adding One Number Away to the set ist, Combs amented that he didn t reay the know the yrics that we. But Wiiford convinced him to read the yrics off his phone (an appropriate start for a song based on a mobie device), and that performance, viewabe on YouTube, ed to more. The reaction to it was overwheming, notes Wiiford. Everybody oved it, and so from there, we started paying it more acoustic, and it just kind of grew egs. Combs naturay recorded it for This One s for You, though his first attempt with producer Scott Moffatt missed the mark. Me and Moffatt were butting heads pretty strong, says Combs, so we went to Sammy and got some new payers and just kind of did the whoe thing at Sammy s house. Mitche buit the new version at his Back Cat home studio around Wiiford s acoustic guitar foundation from the demo, paying some of the new parts himsef and bringing in drummer Grady Saxman pus Combs stee payer, Kurt Ozan, for additiona assistance. Guitarist So Phicox-Littefied provided a soo and some fis via remote overdubs. Mitche and his wife, Grace Anne Waer, sang counter-harmony ines that he ran through an eectric guitar to create a Sade sort of undercurrent in the second verse. Combs knocked out his ead vocas in four or five passes, using gritty, at-rock intensity in some of the key chorus ines to convey the desperation in the song. I grew up istening to Creed, he says. There s nobody that s 27 years od that didn t grow up istening to Creed. I sang it that way on the demo, and then when we went to do the record, we re ike, That part s awesome. We ve got to keep that. One Number Away remained a concert highight, making it a natura choice for a singe, a much bigger resut than any of the writers had anticipated in My head expoded, says Mitche. It rises to No. 40 in its fourth week on Country Airpay. We have something that aready has so much momentum with our fan base, says Combs. I just think everybody who hasn t heard it is going to ove it, too.
