Gary O tease

“O” IS FOR “OFFENSE”: When you’re #2, you try harder. Sony Music Nashville chieftain Gary Overton—Gary O for short—got his game face on when Sony’s chief rival added EMI Nashville’s formidable stable of big acts in late 2012, instantly transforming UMG Nashville into a Music City Goliath. But Overton had more than a slingshot to fight back with, considering he has Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood (the only two solo females who are a sure thing at Country radio right now), guitar shredder/ace songwriter Brad Paisley, party animals Jake Owen and Tyler Farr, Bro Country avatar Kenny Chesney and happening recent signing Chace Rice all battling right alongside him. The Man With a Plan lays it all out to HITS carpetbagger Chris Willman in the latest installment of our Spotlight on Nashville, which you can pair with your morning coffee right here. (7/8a)
