I just submitted a song for this Instrumental Country Lullaby listing. I'd love to hear your tune if you've submitted too, so please post your submission here if you wish. New Listing CONTEMPORARY & TRADITIONAL COUNTRY SONGS, covered in an Instrumental Lullaby format, are needed by a prominent Independent Publisher/Label as part of a retail compilation series. Similar projects have sold up wards of 1.5 million units worldwide. They’re looking for songs from major country artists, traditional and contemporary, that are covered instrumentally (no vocals) with arrangements such as mandolin/fiddle/banjo/guitar. Not only is the company looking for songs, but also writers/producers who really understand Country music and can arrange these country hits in a knowledgeable manner. The material should represent a firm grasp of the intricacies of Country music. Excellent performances are necessary. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Noon PST on Thursday, Mar. 13, 2008.

Well I guess not many folks here sent anything in for this ?I've only submitted country tunes 2 or 3 times and was returned every time...I wonder if this listing will be as difficult to get a forward on as the regular country listings? Well, only $5 to find out...And I recorded this version in a day ( thought I could do it in a couple of hours )...Slow tempo tunes are the tuffest to do...Especially with acoustic guitars Thanks for your comment Vicky...Salut !MG

I had a forward for my version of the above mentioned '' She Believes in Me ''...So I sent this version of Willie Nelson's '' Always On My Mind '' for the listing below....Although this is not the '' Listings'' section I thought I'd just continue on this old thread since it seems to be for the same company.

Hi Mikey!I never go to the boards farther down the main page so I've been missing your tunes! Congrats on the forward for She Believes in Me! I really like Always on My Mind, sounds like Willie's phrasing and his old Martin, even, except maybe more contemporary (he uses nylon strings, right?). Well done!! Nice build in the background too.
