.codyjohnson's management explains why they're looking for country songs written before 2000
. But Johnson has a thing for traditional country, and not much of that gets pitched anymore. Thus, as the Texas-bred singer assembles material for his second Warner Music Nashville album, Durango — owned by— decided that throwing a party for some of the old guard might familiarize them with Johnson's music and inspire them to dig into their catalogs for the gems that never quite got cut.
The contrast between the NSAI awards and the Johnson song-pitch event is a real study in the evolution of country songs. Two of the titles honored by NSAI members this year in their 10 Songs I Wish I'd Written category — "Drowns the Whiskey" and "Some of It" — use the classic wordplay and simple chord structure that are hallmarks of a previous era.
The current generation of songwriters, of course, grew up with hip-hop and naturally employ what Blackman calls "jagged or staggered phrasing" instead of more straight-laced melodic rhythms. "It's our job to capture a moment," says Dawson, "and the moment in 1981 is completely different than the moment in 2019" — which is why Johnson turned to those classic writers and their publishers.
