But then there are those days when it just seems to pour out of me. I've heard writers say that their songs are like children to them. By no means do I mean to say that everything I write is great. I don't want to be writing a song and then realize that the melody I'm writing is something I heard a week or a month ago but, I hear enough out of my fellow songwriters when we do live shows to get a pretty good taste of the current market. To stay in the game you have to adapt and keep abreast of your musical surroundings. But in the same breath I will certainly tell you that I work just as hard if not harder than I ever have in my life. I'm not saying it's gonna be straight traditional country music but I will say the day is coming when the listener is going to want a more story laden lyric.Ĭountry music has changed a lot too – how has it changed your approach to songwriting? I do however think that in the coming months you're gonna see songs getting back to their roots a little more.
It's a new generation of listener and these artists are playing to their generation.
I understand why you hear what you do on the radio today. I think the country music listener is a lot younger for one, yet we've still retained the purists as well. When you go back and listen to an old Jimmy Rogers song and listen to what Florida Georgia line is doing today it's pretty obvious it's a whole new ballgame now. I think a better word for what it has done is evolved.
