This a tongue in cheek look at the music business. I tried to nail all the major "bro country" references in verse 2 as is needed to have a hit song these days.

Been setting on this one for a few weeks as I tried to get the time to finish it up.

WRITE A HIT COUNTRY SONG

It was fun recording this.

Tracks are:

Drums, bass and some fills are band in a box.  All other guitars are played live by me.

I did a few things I don't normally do. I used....dare I say it?,,,,,,, compressors ... in a few of the tracks... guitar and vox.... to name a few. I also cranked the POD up to levels I have rarely used before..... oh my.... what's happening to me?

Enjoy and feel free to comment.

Wow Herb although not my style, talk about a well polished song. Performance, mix, and production are top notch/radio ready.....and when listening to the song, it does sound like you were having a lot of fun.
Well done!!
