As a songwriter, one of the best phone calls you can get is from a producer's office, saying they have chosen to "cut" (record) one of your songs on an artist they are working with. So, when I got a call from Keith Stegall's office (producer of Alan Jackson, Darius Rucker, Zac Brown Band), I was very excited. Keith has been recording a project with Marty Brown, from 90's country fame and 2015 America's Got Talent. Marty is a great guy with a great voice and a great story! I'm so honored that he chose to record our song! Here is great piece that a show, "Kentucky Life" on Kentucky Public Television did on Marty. In the show, Marty is in the studio recording a song with Keith (and musicians). The song they are recording is a song I co-wrote with Tom Douglas called "King of Music Row" - kind of The Gambler meets the show Nashville. It's about an older songwriter giving advice to a younger one. Music Row is the legendary area of Nashville where back in the day, most of the publishing companies, record labels, management companies and any other music-related companies were located. It has changed a lot in the past year, as many of these buildings are being torn down. I love the message in this song. Thanks, Marty, for bringing it to the world!

*Marty's story in this show, Kentucky Life, starts at about minute 15:28. P.S. If you haven't heard of Tom Douglas, you should google him. He is an amazing songwriter and wrote Miranda Lambert's "House That Built Me" among many others!
