When it comes to country music we think instantly of the artist performing a song or songs recorded on an album, where do these songs come from?, it is the songwriters and producers that make it happen. Several songs are written a day, in most cases songwriters end up with more than 100 songs a year to count.
I have dug deep into the country music vault and have found that these songs have made it into the albums of Kellie Pickler, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, Kenny Rogers, Martina McBride and JoDee Messina over the years. These songs were on the artists album released as singles to country radio that left an impression on the artist or artists who re-recorded them that were previously recorded by their musical peers. These songs have been redefined and have made a staple in country music.
