Forward: Southern Rock/Hard Rock/Country Rock

[jauk]

Good afternoon-Just found out a song of mine, 3x's a Fool, was forwarded to the below listing: SOUTHERN ROCK/HARD ROCK/COUNTRY ROCK/CLASSIC ROCK SONGS with a “Contemporary feel” are needed immediately by the Music Supervisor for an Indie film set in Vegas, about a 30-something, former military, male protagonist named “Dean,” who is smart, lively and on a serious mission to get his life back together. The film also features an ensemble of male characters lead by Dean, who become a team of card counters working Downtown Vegas. The supe wants to hear songs that are musically in the vein of Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent,” “Feels Like the First Time,” and “Juke Box Hero.” They also referenced Tom Petty’s “You Got Lucky,” Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page” (lyrically, but not so dark musically), as well as Lynyrd Skyrnyrd, Loverboy, and Journey. VERY IMPORTANT: THEY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR SOUNDALIKES OR COVERS - they want songs that have the musical style of these songs referenced, but with a CURRENT FEEL. Great Southern Rock will be welcome, but be careful not to submit anything that has a straight-up Blues approach. Please make sure that your performance/recording does not sound too dated. These songs need to provide a great backdrop and play naturally for the old-school, low-brow, gritty mood and energy of downtown Vegas. Vocal and instrumental performances must be top-notch! Recordings MUST be Broadcast Quality (great sounding home recordings are fine). Please submit ORIGINAL material with MALE VOCALS only. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than 10:00am (PST) on Tuesday, August 11, 2009.

Nice work, Joe. That's a real good song...hits the mark on so many of the listed requirements. Authentic, easy, fresh & current production. Certainly sound down on yer luck in that hammy kinda way ...and nice nods to some of the referenced bands, too. I could do with a beer, now, and roll some bones
