CHART-WORTHY COUNTRY Forward!

I originally joined Taxi to be a "songwriter" songwriter. But found the knack like many here of getting forwards and more with instrumental cues.

Thrilled to get this one forwarded. Written with my co-writer and new Taxi member Mary Lyn Bates (not able to go to Rally this year). We met thru online Jeffrey Steele Songwriting Bootcamp. Ps. Available for co-writes! :D




CHART-WORTHY COUNTRY SONGS with Male Vocals are needed by a great Music Row Publisher for an Award-Winning Country Star.

Please submit great Songs in All Tempos that could fit in the general stylistic ballpark of these references:

“My Town” by Montgomery Gentry

“Hell Right” by Blake Shelton ft. Trace Adkins

“Brand New Man” by Brooks & Dunn, Luke Combs

Please submit Songs with fresh and unique ideas, coupled with original Country melodies and super strong choruses that are ready for the charts! Your submissions should have lyrics full of visual imagery and should be able to compete with Nashville’s best writers! For this request, Songs should have a more organic, traditional sound and feel, especially the vocals!

NOTE: This artist hasn’t put out records in a while, so they are going to be looking for "HITS that can bring the artist back to the top of the charts." In other words – the bar for this request will be high, and only the best of the best will be forwarded.

Stripped-Down demos and full productions are both okay to submit as long as the Songs are great and your recordings are clean, clear, and well-balanced!

NOTEWORTHY: If time permits, someone from the Publisher's staff (who has been trained as a TAXI screener) will review the submissions for this request. That means that people directly involved in this request could be the "ears" reviewing your submissions!

The specific deal points will be negotiated on a song-by-song basis directly with the Publisher. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD, and PLEASE include lyrics! All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, October 20th, 2019. TAXI #Y191020CN

Thanks Jay! I remember I think it was Ron Harris, maybe Rob Chiarelli? too, at the Rally say something about how certain songs just have a good feel about them. I did think of this one as I sat there in the audience.

AWESOME!!! GREAT SONG!!!

As you know, that type of listing as a bar about as high as a bar can be. Be proud! :mrgreen: :D 8-)

Love the song. BTW, you could probably pitch that song for Film/TV as well.

Best of luck!
:D Casey
