More about this title

About the Composer: Hillary Lindsay

Hillary Lindsey has established herself as one of Nashville's most prolific and successful songwriters, with a catalog spanning country, pop, and Americana styles. Her work with Carrie Underwood helped define the sound of modern country radio, and her songwriting contributions have earned recognition across multiple genres and award shows.

Why we love this

This folio captures songs from one of country music's biggest albums, giving pianists and vocalists genuine hits to learn and perform. The collection balances radio-friendly pop-country moments with introspective ballads, offering real variety within a single album's narrative arc.

What to expect

Honest, radio-ready country songwriting with genuine emotional weight. These tracks move from defiant anthems to tender heartbreak to reflective character studies, all delivered through accessible melodies and straightforward harmonic language that lets the storytelling shine.

Who it's for

Pianists and singers preparing covers of current country material, whether for recitals, studio work, or repertoire study. This folio serves music students exploring songwriting craft and contemporary vocal production alongside classical training.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the chord voicings and substitutions notated in the lead sheets; they reflect the studio arrangement and inform your harmonic choices at the keyboard.
  • The vocal phrasing often sits slightly behind or ahead of the beat in contemporary country production. Use the lyrics' natural emphasis to guide your timing rather than metronomic precision.
  • When accompanying, support the singer's emotional arc rather than playing every chord hit exactly. Some songs benefit from space and restraint.
  • Study the color photos included in the folio to understand the visual and sonic palette Underwood brought to these recordings.

How to use it

Feature individual songs in recitals or showcases exploring contemporary American songwriting alongside traditional standards. The album's narrative arc also works as a standalone song cycle for advanced pianists and vocalists studying how modern producers structure full-length projects.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord charts and lead sheets in contemporary country style
  • Accompanying singers in popular music contexts
  • Understanding song structure in modern country radio production
  • Interpreting melodic phrasing beyond strict metric notation
  • Voicing chords to match studio arrangements
