So I submitted to this listing:"ALT COUNTRY/AMERICANA SONGS in the range of The Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, etc., sought by President of successful Music Library/Publishing Company with extensive film and TV Placements (Kill Bill 2, the Punisher, Las Vegas, the Shield, Bones, One Tree Hill, Van Wilder 2 + many more). Whatever the genre, this gentleman is adamant about hooks, so your songs must have them! Original songs only - no covers please. He doesn't want to hear instrumentals right now Ð the songs you submit must have vocals, but please do have instrumental versions available upon request. Broadcast quality needed - great sounding home demos are fine but must sound excellent Ð he is very picky about this. 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 no later than Wednesday, March 18, 2009. TAXI #S090318AM"I submitted my songs "Jack and Bonneville" and "In front of me"were they a wise choice? I'd love your feedback!You can hear them here:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blimp-Dav ... 7981Thanks!

Well, I'm not real familiar with the groups mentioned in this listing, but your tunes certainly sound fine to me.Good luck and hope ya snag the forward!

Dave, Your song "Jack And Bonneville" sure does have a Jayhawks feel to it. Cool tune. The other two bands mentioned in the listing I'm not familiar with. Seems to me that "Americana" covers a pretty wide spectrum of styles and I think both your songs fit the bill. Best of luck to you. Dave B.

sounds great, i'll bet that this will be a forward.who's playing that pedal steel???nice job!

Thanks for the feedback!Marc, my friend who is living in Germany added the steel tracks. I'd send him a rough mix, he'd add parts and export the tracks seperately for me to mix em. It was a lot of fun!

Excellent, banjo sounds great too!

hey blimp!damn good metaphors with "bonneville",,,love the "run off" line, the take a leak line is genius..hell love the whole thing. very nice vibe, banjo i dig! pedal cool as well, but that's all been said...great job, good luck! is that you singin'? nice vocal--kinda reminds me of paul feak(er), high tonal quality and cool...the best,warren

Thanks Warren! The positive feedback is much appreciated! Yep, that is me singing, or attempting to sing...

I'd certainly forward 'em both, but I think you already know I'm a fan. I think the vocal needs to come up some relative to the instruments in Jack And Bonneville, or maybe edge the awesome pedal steel down a bit prior to the second chorus. I've heard some of your other stuff, and yes, I think you made a good choice. Good luck, though I doubt you'll need it.
