By Carrie Underwood, Dixie Chicks, and Sara Evans. By Billy Montana; Chris Tompkins; Dennis Linde; Jenai; Josh Kear. Arranged by David Maddux. This edition: pdf. Country. 21 pages. David Maddux #1415250. Published by David Maddux (A0.1855705).
Three songs about women getting even, arranged in escalating order of consequence. Songwriters Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear wrote “Before He Cheats” in two hours — less time than most co-writes take for small talk. They originally intended it for Gretchen Wilson, riding the wave of “Redneck Woman” success. Carrie Underwood heard the demo once on her American Idol tour bus and immediately declared she was recording it. It became the first country song to sell over two million digital downloads, spent five weeks at No. 1, and logged 64 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 — then the eighth-longest run in the chart’s history. Sara Evans’ “Suds in the Bucket” (2004) takes the temperature down just a notch: a girl who abandons her laundry mid-wash for the boy in the white pickup. Nobody gets hurt. Daddy is bewildered. Then came Dennis Linde. The prolific Nashville songwriter — best known for writing Elvis Presley’s “Burning Love” — had a habit of populating his songs with recurring characters, and Earl was one of them. Earl had already appeared as the ne’er-do-well mechanic in Sammy Kershaw’s 1993 hit “Queen of My Double-Wide Trailer.” Linde eventually decided Earl had lived long enough. He wrote “Goodbye Earl” to kill the character off for good — dispatched by poisoned black-eyed peas and a blue tarp. The Chicks recorded it for their 1999 album Fly, and the album’s liner notes included a disclaimer: “The Dixie Chicks do not advocate premeditated murder, but do love getting even.” The video won both the ACM and CMA Video of the Year. Some radio stations responded by airing domestic violence hotlines alongside it. This TTBB arrangement features a soloist for each song before the full chorus delivers the verdict on Earl.
