It's about the money that's willing to be invested. There are throngs of musicians that carry much more talent than some who have or had a top 10. Years ago, Carroll Fullmer said if you can sing and have $100,000, I can guarantee a top 10 hit. Its about getting your music played and convincing the right critics to give you favorable reviews. The problem with today's music(mainstream), everyone/everything sounds the same. It's all about the marketing and not as much as the talent. Just my opinion.scootnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717409763616141270.post-59491339899321510342014-08-02T00:57:34.090-05:002014-08-02T00:57:34.090-05:00My husband says this is the best soup he had ever ...My husband says this is the best soup he had ever eaten in his life, hands down.

She's no musician but she is making a living in the tepid greasy water of the music venue PR business. Tell her to wear rubber gloves, would ya? So far she's avoided long term relationships with aspiring musicians but that could be an interesting topic for you since you and Ray might hold the world record for long term relationship in the biz.

I wanted you to know that, like most ignorant folk I went straight to bit torrent and snatched me a "free" copy of chctaw bingo as soon as I heard it on pandora. After gathering up a few more songs I had an attack of conscience. Went back and bought em all. And I do meen all. Artists like rwh and fred eaglesmith are pretty much tbe best out there these days, and they work their butts off. I no longer have "free" music.

I mean when was the last time you heard a John Mayall Tim Krekel, or even a Ray Wylie Hubbard record played on a commercial radio station? The big labels have proven you can market your way out of shitty music. Pro- tools, and marketing teams are the reason why I never listen to commercial stations. Anyway sorry for ranting I know I can't tell you anything you don't already know, so I'll shut up. Keep up the good work Mother Hubbard you are awesome!Charie Hubbardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717409763616141270.post-57373824133938585482013-11-13T13:09:16.657-06:002013-11-13T13:09:16.657-06:00God of music = money God of music = money The Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840786431358050924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717409763616141270.post-43301652080308072692013-03-01T05:31:41.387-06:002013-03-01T05:31:41.387-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246772395193298354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717409763616141270.post-18392016624497473672013-02-12T15:59:16.824-06:002013-02-12T15:59:16.824-06:00From Birmingham AL, You tell it like it is!
