My song "Your Kiss Don't Lie" got forwarded to this country listing!

CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY SONGS a la Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, etc., needed by an Independent Production team with major credits (They Might Be Giants, Debbie Gibson, Nils Lofgren, Disney Collections, etc.) They want to hear hit songs, with conversational lyrics, a compelling melody and big, memorable hooks.

Holy cow! Steve "Freaking" Brewtser? He's a top notch session guy. He's played on all kinds of stuff.

No wonder it sounds sick!!

Congrats

Hey thanks 'cabinet and fullertime!

Yes, the band was great. Lots of big names and hits on their resumes.

And there i was, a nobody, and they put 100% into it. They are true professionals.

Big congrats to you, Eric! That's a major high bar country listing! Those are very hard to get. I've been a country writer for years, but I haven't gotten many forwards. Most of my forwards are for jazz listings, go figure, lol.

Anyway, that's just great. I tried to find your song on your TAXI hosting page, and I see some other songs listed, but not that one. Am I looking in the wrong place? I'd love to hear it. :D I did get a chance to listen to "I'll Bring the Beer." Awesome song!

Wow, thanks everyone.

Chits. I'm sorry you couldn't hear the forwarded song. It's the last one on my hosting page

Thanks for the wonderful complement of "I'll Bring the Beer." I really appreciate that.
