Dear Passengers,

If you submitted for this Country opportunity, TAXI #S200803CS, you really don't want to miss this episode of TAXI TV!

If you've ever wondered, "How good does a Country song need to be to get forwarded by TAXI to an A&R Executive working with a HUGE Grammy-winning group?" then you're going to love being in the A&R Hot Seat during this episode!

Here's the request we got from the Music Licensing Company!

TAXI #S200803CS

COUNTRY SONGS with REFLECTIVE Lyric Themes and Male Vocals are needed by a super well-connected A&R Executive for a HUGE chart-topping, Grammy Award-winning SUPER GROUP that’s working on their next album!


The A&R Executive is searching for Songs in All Tempos that could be found on the same playlist as the following references:

“How They Remember You" by Rascal Flatts

“Letter To Me” by Brad Paisley

“Time" by Dean Brody

NOTE: The bar is high for this request, so pull out your best and pay special attention to your Songcraft! Getting Songs cut by this act could be absolutely career-changing!

Please submit radio-worthy Country Songs that have solid productions and great lyrics with substance. Your submissions should have fresh, compelling Country melodies and super strong choruses that are ready for the charts! Please be sure your vocal performances are good enough to get this A&R Executive and Artist excited about cutting your Songs.

Lyric Tip: We’ve been told that they're looking for "reflective" material, with lyric themes along the lines of (but not limited to) "This is my life" or "Taking a look back at our lives."

The quality of your Songs should be competitive with material being pitched on Music Row – in other words, submissions have to be really, really strong!

Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, August 3rd, 2020. TAXI # S200803CS

Too old, out-dated, Old-school and Gospel-y to have fit these listings... but it was fun... so I posted it here:

Maybe, someday... still a George Strait fan. :)
Cheers.

Of all the great songs we heard today, the one that keeps running 'round my head is the one about the little red wagon. I know it didn't fit, didn't work for the listing, but it's the one I remember. I guess that says something though I'm not sure what.

Congrats to all who got forwarded, and to those who didn't, too. They were all good!
