The Singer Songwriters Behind The Hits

The magic of a song comes straight from the songwriter and in most cases the artist collaborates on hand with the songwriter themselves. I find the process of writing the most theraputic, expressive, raw feeling a person can go through. Collectively an artist and a songwriter have complete creative freedom when working together. It's excitement and joy wrapped up in one to me, and it's not often when a songwriter recieves praise for their work,as their the behind the scene's mainly in the industry. You will see in this list the songwriter's who wrote for Jake Owen, Toby Keith, George Strait, Martina McBride, Chris Young, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Lauren Alaina, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, David Nail, Hunter Hayes, Brantley Gilbert, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and more. Bringing a song to life for the artist gives both the songwriter and artist credibility, but mainly a huge adrenaline rush to them hearing their song on radio. The fans too connect on a song, so it's everyone's pleasure.

The Songwriters

"It's all in a song, that one single note, the notes that touch our souls". - Shellie Palmer


Paper is our canvas to where the pen is our instrument, each and every one of us connect through a song, there are many songs, some are released as singles, those singles become hits, what you should know is how powerful lyrics are to a song. Behind the scene's music is happening, being created and crafted into a masterpiece, I call it pure magic. Feeling connected to an artist and their music is just a small fragment in the music world. It's the writers who bring authenticity and reality together, what they live through, what inspires them or simply having that feel good emotion. Those writers work hands on with an artist or artists, collaborations are born. I always look to what the story is behind a song,it's that one feature I get super excited about reading in Country Weekly Magazine.
Some of our most prolific songs are the most inspirational and relatable to us.
Rascal Flatts "I'm Moving On", "God Bless The Broken Road", "These Days", "What Hurts The Most", "I Won't Let Go" have been the most meaningful songs the Flatts and their
co-writers have created together. We truly connect on these songs,writer  Jason Sellers of "I Won't Let Go" was in the moment writing the song. I remember Jason telling readers in an issue of Country Weekly, the song is about being there for someone who's going through tough times, having that friend,spouse,parent, sibling, anyone who you will stand beside not letting go of them in their darkest time. I connected to the song emotionally having a friend who needed me during some tough times and him for me, It was that relateable. Songs make such an impact on a person's life,it's quite theraputic, emotionally and physcially freeing.  I always tell someone if you can't find the words right then and there and weighing on your heart write it out,it really is the best therapy and it's free of charge.  Leslie Satcher had Kellie Pickler right at mind when "Tough" came about.
"I ain't never been nothing but tough/All my edges have always been rough/ But Jesus loves me anyway". Yes, Kellie Pickler had a rough upbringing,matter of fact she love's Jesus and is rough around the edges,sometimes we have to be.
Recognizing the writers in the music industry have left me open minded and completely open hearted to continue the path in writing after all,writing is real art. It's a blessing to able to connect with you, country fans. Your all so incredible!

I like to take this time to recongize Dallas Davidson, Dean Dillion, Luke Laird, Colt Ford, Leslie Satcher, Jason Sellers, Brad and Brett Warren, Natalie Hemby, Brett James, Rhett Akins, Jeffrey Steele, Ben Hayslip, Jim Beavers, Brett Beavers,Jimmy Yeary, Sonya Issacs, Liz Rose, Aimee Mayo,Lee Brice, Kyle Jacobs,Kelley Lovelace, Chris DuBois, Wyatt Durrette, Holly Williams, and so many more who continue to bring music to life.
