THREAD CLOSED - thanks .. we are working on a new chorus .. we'll post it soonIs the lyric good enough, is the chorus good enough, is the whole song good enough to jump over the country high-bar? Judge it tough. We'd really appreciate your 100 percent honest opinions. http://www.audio-village.com/kickapps/_ ... 29713.html Thanks,Dean and MarcThanks so much to taxi's own Stephen Lancaster for the guitar work and Devin Melanson for the banjo part.=====================================DANCIN’ WITH A PRETTY GIRL© 2008 by Marc David Blackwell and Dean Brantley TaylorLyrics by Dean Brantley Taylor (ASCAP) www.sonicbids.com/DeanBrantleyTaylor Music by Marc David Blackwellwww.MarcBlackwellMusic.com Vocals: Marc David BlackwellArrangement: Marc David BlackwellElectric & Acoustic Guitars: Stephen LancasterBanjo: Devin MelansonAll other instruments: Marc David BlackwellProduced by Marc David BlackwellEngineered, Mixed and Mastered by Marc David Blackwell=========================================== VERSEAs I walked in, the place felt rightCountry band rockin’ here tonightAll the single girls in their skintight jeans Man alive, it’s like a cowboy(‘s) dreamThe hardwood floor just callin’ on meSouthern beauty(s) far as I can seeDevilish eyes and angel smilesI might be dancin’ here awhileCHORUS Dancin’ with a pretty girl lights my worldDancin’ with a pretty girl, I dip and I twirlI Cotton Eyed Joe, Two-Step and SwingDancin’ with a pretty girl, it’s a magical thingVERSE With these girls, I’m Usher in bootsI find the moves that’ll make ‘em scootThey’re my muses.

Dean, I can't offer an opinion on the "high-bar" question but I like the song and the production sounds good. The only nit-pick I have is with the abrupt ending which doesn't sound natural IMO. However, maybe if the powers that be listen up to that point then the ending won't matter!

I played it at the mp3 link.I like it a lot. I always make sure I mention again that country is not my genre. What matters is not if it's a very good song, but if it's a great song. That's what will determine if it makes the country high bar. I think it's at least a very good song. (I'm being super-critical in anticipation of the bar.)At the rally, you got to see how Sherrill Blackman listened for killer hooks and other things that make a song stand out. The hook is simple and stays in your head. Big plus! I don't know whether more melodic lift at the chorus is needed but there is a rhythmic change-up at the chorus which does make it stand out some from the verse.All you can do now is submit it and see. It's definitely worth submitting... Good luck!! Casey

I originally had planned to write a better ending, for now i added a crash and tambo to end, probably helps a little.http://marcblackwellmusic.com/marc_mp3/ ... x2.mp3Bill, Casey and Feaker, thanks for the comments.Marc
