Herb,
 
Good song and production.   Really enjoyable.   Besides the other artists mentioned, I hear a little Willie in there too (Poncho and Lefty).   Top notch.
 
Regards

Radio: hey thanks.... it's not energy, it's inspiration and the thrill and enjoyment of the process of writing and perfecting the craft and the muse that drives me to write. The more I write, the more I enjoy writing. 

It is a learned process and a skill that, just like playing guitar or some other instrument, takes time, practice, dedication, and a love for doing it. I have come to really enjoy crafting songs. So it has become as natural as breathing to set down, and with a bit of inspiration, begin a new tune. 

Even as I was putting the finishing touches on this one......

The next one has already made it to the DAW. Still writing/finishing up the lyrics. It will be much more acoustic in nature than most of what I have done in the past. It will be finished by the coming weekend. As soon as my co-writer agrees that it is done. 

Oh yeah, I also have a co-writer who is as dedicated and ready to write as I am. 

Co-writing.... I heartily recommend it. It will pull you out of your rut and allow you to see things from a different perspective.


Note: So I'm Told was not a co-write. 
 
Thats all true but if you don't have that internal energy then you don't get to that next important step which is  inspiration and whatever follows .  
Also you made a very good point which is having a cowriter , two minds are better then one in song writing .

Thats how the Beatles and many other great bands made their hit songs and wrote them so quickly .
 
Anyway you are a good song writer and guitar player , like with any thing in life you have to practice to get good at whatever it is you do in and enjoy life .
 
Cheers ! Radio
