Glad to have a forward for swampy instrumental listing

SWAMPY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an internationally distributed, Exclusive Music Library with lots and lots of credits in commercials, movies, and TV Shows. They're searching for Down-to-Mid Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references: "Swamp Blues (Slide/Bottleneck)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw7gRASUD4g "Mean Old Thing" by Andrew Kubiszewki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFBN14fO3S8 "Southern Comfort Slide Guitar Cover" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euFTVlrWZI4 Please submit Instrumental Cues that have a genuine backwoods vibe. Your arrangements should consist of mostly guitar, acoustic or electric, and can feature other authentic-sounding instrumentation such as Slide Dobro, Banjo, etc., etc. Anything that sounds stiff, synthetic, or MIDI driven won't work for this pitch. Your Cues should stick to a central melodic motif while adding layers of additional instrumentation as they progress. Avoid anything overly frenetic or complex, as it could distract from dialogue. Imagine the type of music you'd hear while a group of grizzled men enjoy a few beers after a long day of alligator hunting in the bayou. That's what they need! Please submit Instrumental Cues that are at least 2 minutes in length. Short intros, or no intro at all, easy edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are strongly recommended for this pitch. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced tracks in any way shape or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with any other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Composition rights. Please submit one to three Instrumentals Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2017. TAXI #Y170222SC

Congrats! I think the humidity went up in the room while I was playing this! My wife's family would love me more if I did this kind of music. :)
