Forward > Swampy Blues Instrumentals/Cues

Post by DBarnett » Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:26 pm

With a lot of return critiques on previous submissions and the help of everyone here on the Forums I'm making some headway
Thanks Taxi and my Taxi friends for your honesty and knowledge
Hopefully the Library will pick it up
Happy New Year!!



A Bunch of SWAMPY BLUES INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a U.K. Music Licensing Company with GREAT Worldwide Distribution and lots of awesome placements in Film and TV.

The client is looking for several Instrumentals/Cues in All Tempos that would fall within the general stylistic ballpark of the following examples:

"Hoochie Coochie Man" by Muddy Waters

"The Gypsy Woman Told Me" by John Primer & Bob Corritore

"Come and Take It" by John Németh

"The Thrill Is Gone" by B.B. King

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals/Cues only for this pitch.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company is only interested in signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

Send them recently-recorded Instrumentals (or Cues) that capture the heart and soul of the Swampy Southern Blues genre. Your submissions should have solid rhythms, soulful melodies, and superb musicianship. It'd be a good idea to stick with typical Blues instrumentation, arrangements, and rhythms. They're looking for strictly Blues Instrumentals/Cues, so avoid submitting anything that has a Rock or Country tilt to it.

I like the change ups in lead instruments, guitar to harmonica, etc. Nice stuff, good luck!
