INSIDE SONGWRITING: Getting to the Heart of Creativity (Billboard Books)

An "insider’s" look at the business and the art of songwriting, INSIDE SONGWRITING: Getting to the Heart of Creativity includes rare insight into the creative process from both sides of the desk. The book includes behind-the-scenes glimpses of the author’s working with artists including Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and Melissa Manchester, as well as innovative exercises designed to stimulate creativity.

Dubbed a songwriter’s version of Natalie Goldberg’s million-selling "Writing Down the Bones," INSIDE SONGWRITING offers encouragement, comfort, and hope in its richly detailed, no-holds-barred account of the author’s long, and often difficult climb to the top of his profession.

INSIDE SONGWRITING is packed with lessons and valuable information but it is not a "How-To" book. It's anecdotal and offers a look inside the world of professional songwriting. Topics include: Staff Writing, Songs that are "Better Than the Crap on the Radio," Writing From Your heart , Targeting Your Market, Producing Great Demos, Rewriting,Independent Song Pluggers, Overcoming Writer's Block, Collaboration, Reversion Clauses, and much more about CREATIVITY -- as opposed to the "nuts and bolts" of how to craft a song. Also includes twenty stimulating new creative exercises.

PRICE: $14.95 +s/h

The Way I Heard It

I've been fortunate enough to have some of the most talented and successful artists in the world record my songs. They've done incredible jobs interpreting my words and melodies and making them their own.

"The Way I Heard It" is my chance to express my personal vision for these songs. I've assembled some of Nashville's finest musicians to help me record this album. Their credits read like a "Who's Who" in pop and country music and they've helped me create the album I always hoped to record.

"The Way I Heard It" includes my interpretation of my Top 5 country single, "Change My Mind," as well as songs that have been recorded by artists including the Backstreet Boys, Collin Raye, and the Oak Ridge Boys.

This CD is available only from my website and at my performances and workshops. I hope you'll enjoy it
