Subject: RE: How to write a country song --TIPS PLEASE?
Sorry Shambles, hate to bust your bubble but David Allen Coe says that John Goodman (I think that's the right guy) already has the 'Perfect' Country & Western song, "You Don't Have To Call Me Darling, Darling" (I think that's the right title), in the song there's all the necessary ingredients to having a C&W hit, there's lost love, getting drunk, trains & stations, pickup trucks, Mama, prison, rain, death & Merle Haggard being on his fighting side.You could try for the 2nd place C&W song though.
