Country Forward

S081014COCONTEMPORARY COUNTRY SONGS FROM A MALE PERSPECTIVE for a new artist a la BRANTLEY GILBERT (you can also think Kenny Chesney, are needed by a Major Nashville Label. Great lyric stories, songs that hit with the big hook and the memorable chorus, etc. will really rise to the top. This artist is young, but lyrics with depth and heart will be a great match. Songs about having fun with the boys, falling in love, family values, etc. will also be good places to start. Undeniably, the hooks need to be solid and compelling. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received by October 14, 2008. TAXI #S081014CONice. Got a forward on "Thinkin' 'Bout The Wedding Night" (with Will Hopkins). Every so often one gets through! Claire

You turned the TV on too early...you're in the 2009 CMA's, according to my schedule And even though you don't host the show until 2012, Chits and I really liked how you presented us with the "Taxi Collab Award" that year...good job! (Do these boots match this tux?!?)
