Letter from Publisher & Editor The Country Radio Seminar has once again came and gone, but CRB is already making plansto make next year’s even bigger and better. I would like to take a moment to single out AristoMedia for all the hard work and dedication they put in every year so that media, artists, and radio personnel have a joyful experience during CRS .

Our sincere condolences go out to AL BROCK with Spin Doctors Music Group who lost his lovely wife earlier this month. Al recalls 36 beautiful years with his wife, lover, partner, and his best friend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family through this difficult time. We hope that you enjoy this issue as much as we do. Looking forward to many more to come.

Story By Rachel Smith Photos By Chloe Hall Nashville Native, Chloe Hall returned to Nashville after college like so many graduates with goals, hopes and dreams for her future. Little did she know that the experiences and challenges that she would face would lead her to the creation of a clothing startup that promotes social and political change.
made me really upset that I couldn’t hide in peace, but then I realized that it wasn’t okay. There’s a time and place for that, but now wasn’t that time and place. I needed to get involved and do my part. I started talking about a T-shirt line about a year ago. Most of it happened while I was drinking, out with friends and was initially a joke. My friends would say something, and I’d be like, ‘oh, that would be cool on a T-shirt’ and then realized it really would be cool on a T-shirt. ‘Maybe I should actually do this.’ And TrashyFem was born. I took my interests and my ideas for the
fighting for the same thing, were making each other feel bad about how they’re fighting for those things. I decided that was the big push TrashyFem: social media accountability and faceto-face interactions. Each shirt has a topic on it that is meant to create dialogues and ignite passions on subject’s people want/ need to talk about. My goal was to create more opportunity for face-to-face conversations by allowing the shirts to generate accountability for people’s statements and allow them to see how these words can ignite real emotions. If you are going to say something like that, at least you’re saying it to their face. Even though TrashyFem is very much focused on face-to-face interaction, I am in no way discouraging social media interaction. It’s a fantastic way to reach large groups of people who you would not normally reach, and to discuss ideas you normally couldn’t. I am encouraging people to have accountability. Take these face-toface conversations, and share these conversations online.

Home grown in West Tennessee and migrating further south to Marietta, GA, blonde beauty Layne Smith is a quantitative songwriter and memorable vocalist as exhibited in her latest album release, Set Me On A Rock, which she describes as three-fourths country gospel and one-forth country. Layne defies categorization and acknowledges her song derivatives are a result of her love of country, gospel and bluegrass music. She is influenced by Patsy Cline, Lynn Anderson, Donna Fargo, Joan Baez, and Elvis Presley. She professes, “Going through difficult and life-changing experiences led to many prayers. My prayers became songs.” Inspirational song choices are made from her love of God. As a published poet, Smith evolves as a dexterous songwriter. It is demonstrated by her 2013 album, Stand Strong, for which she received, “Recording Artist of The Year,” by the Atlanta Society of Entertainers. Tennessee welcomes home one of our own as Layne now appears as a regular guest on Music City Hayride on Saturday afternoons at the World Famous Texas Troubadour Theatre. She expresses heart felt and honest emotion with her energetic performances and, whether it is a cover song or self-written original, it will be a memorable experience.

Above Album Reviews by Scott Hugger.
Meet Lane Roberson Wow, what can I say. This young man is wise so far beyond his young 15 years and he knows right where his heart and head are and what he hopes his future to be, deeply rooted and invested in the art of classic country music. He was inspired by greats such as Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and today Sturgill Simpson. Lane also say’s he strives to give music lovers something personal, something real and not something manufactured from a machine. He loves music and he enjoys listening to Cash, Haggard and Hank Williams but he’s still young and being a member of the Airforce Jr. ROTC (AFJROTC), school and friends are still a big part of where his heart is. With that said he puts academics first while striving to learn all he can about the music industry. Growing up he said he was never really musically inclined but he actually got his first guitar when he was just 3 years old and sang his first song in public at a family reunion at the same age. He focused himself on school and things most kids would do growing up and then at the age of 12 he picked up the guitar with serious intent, taught himself to play and something just clicked. He said it felt right and even though it was still just a hobby it became a dream he wanted to make come true. Randy Rich with Nashville Music Guide and Big Star Productions is co-managing and setting up Nashville contacts and writ-
ings sessions with this young man. Rich says, “I feel like this young man is a little George Jones country all the way.” With his new found mentor and supporter Lane is well on his way to introducing himself to the industry by working on a new song he co-wrote with Bernie Nelson called “Old Haggard Songs”. Lane has played many local venues in the Edmond OK area and continues to build a steady following. He has in the past hosted open mic night at Kendell’s Bar, that was open to the public where local artists would come in to share their talents. Other accolades include performing at the Centennial Rodeo Opry in Oklahoma City and at a benefit for Emmy award winning artist Joe Burris. “Country music was founded on the greats like Hank and Merle but in today’s world the ability to relate to country music has declined, the message is lost and things are too commercialized. I feel that the country music I make should be authentic, personal and not created by pushing a lot of buttons on a console. I deeply appreciate Mr. Rich and all his support. Without him I wouldn’t be where I am now on this great learning experience.” ~ Lane Roberson ~ Boot scoot boogie right on over to https://www.facebook.com/ lanerobersonmusic and check out Lane Roberson for upcoming news and events. Story by Sherryl Craig
“I love the music but right now school is really important and college is something I strive for. But I can’t say that if I were offered a contract that I wouldn’t take it. Let’s just say...”I’m in”... ~ Lane Roberson ~

Mark Chestnutt out and it is really refreshing, I loved every song on the album. Here is how the interview went:
We arrived at Kirt Webster’s office in Nashville and we were ready for the interview with Mark Chestnutt. We waited in a beautiful conference room with a painting signed by Dolly Parton. Moments later, Mark made his way in and we were told, “Mark is on a very tight schedule so you have to keep this interview short, only 15 minutes. Little did she know that Mark and my father, Merle Kilgore were very good friends and I had met Mark once before and seen his concert here in Nashville a few years back. What a Showman Mark is, he knows how to entertain an audience. The interview went almost an hour and folks passing by the conference room could hear laughing and knee slapping as they walked by. I have always been a fan of Marks Music, especially because he is pure and true Country. Mark has had a wonderful career and a long string of hits over the years with four Platinum Albums, five Gold Albums and fourteen Number One hits, what artist wouldn’t want to have that resume under their belt. Mark’s latest album, Tradition Lives, is NashvilleMusicGuide.com 12
Hey Mark, Congratulations on your new album, I heard it is great. Chestnutt: “What you haven’t heard it yet? Well Hell, what are we going to talk about?” I said,” Mark I know your album will be a big hit, your fans I know wanted me to ask you about you.” Tell me about the Tradition Lives. What make it special? Chestnutt: “Well the fact is, I myself like others aren’t happy with this new style of Country Music. I personally picked out all 13 songs on this album. I wrote one of them and the other 12 songs I went looking for, true Country music. One song we cut, was just me playing the guitar, no other instruments. This CD is one I am very proud of.” Mark, let me ask you a question how you came about recording,” Bubba Shot the Jukebox.” Chestnutt: “Well it’s funny how that song came about. Back in the day, the record label had me go to a song pitching ordeal. I went into a room and there were maybe ten guys in there sitting at a table all with songs that they thought might be a good fit for me. I can tell you, I really don’t enjoy hearing all those songs pluggers trying to pitch me a song, believe me it’s work. Just before we got started, one of the guys said, ‘Hey Mark, this isn’t a song we want to pitch to you but it is so crazy we thought you might get a kick out of hearing it.’ That song was “Bubba Shot the Jukebox.”After the
song was over I stood up and said, ‘I love that song, well the song plugging is over for today boys, I have found my hit.’ That song has become one of my signature songs and no concert is complete without singing it. The fans just love it.” Mark, you have been on the road for years, does that much traveling get old? Chestnutt: “I love preforming and I love meeting my fans in person. We still do over 200 shows a year, our merchandise is at an all time high and after the show we sign autographs and take pictures with the fans. I love it.” On a personal side when you’re off the road what do you like to do? Chestnutt: “I love to hunt and fish, I am a real outdoors guy and a lot folks don’t realize how patriotic I am, I love our Country. My son is in the Service and I am very proud of him for serving our Country.” I have interviewed a lot of famous people in my time but when I was interviewing Mark Chestnutt it was like we had been friends all of our lives, he has that way with people, and that’s what makes him a Star. Look for Mark’s new CD Tradition Live and for more information visit: www.markchestnutt.com
In 1967 an unbelievably timeless organization was created, with just 42 songwriters the Nashville Songwriters Association was born. A place where wondrous words create timeless magic. It is “the” largest not for profit member held organization in the world for songwriters.

Created in 1993 Tin Pan South Nashville Music Guide spoke with Erika Nichols the General Manager at the infamous Blue Bird Cafe. Tin Pan South manifests the pure essence of the collective vision and station in the songwriting family. Yes, it is a family. Erika Nichols, General Manager at the famous Blue Bird Cafe expressed how the atmosphere is always that of a family. A community of individuals who cam together and created something unique and exciting. It is a special celebration of not only the people who write the songs but the songs and the meaning behind them. It’s about the story. People from around the world will be here to share in the experience. Nichols says that what makes it work so well is the connection between the writers.
