Eddie, you didn't misslabel your songs at all. I was commenting on the fact that if this were 1985-1995, those songs would be considered "modern/contemporary" country. 10-15 years from now, todays contemporary country will be "tradidiontal" country.
MAB, I guess what I wanted a comment on is, if I went to a studio to do a "full demo", would the drum track be a live drummer or a recorded loop track from a live drummer? I've never been in a studio, and it would be interesting to know how a demo tape is made. Are the different sections in different rooms recording every track at the same time, or do they record the drums first, then the rhythm guitar, the other rhythm instruments, then lead instruments, then vocals? I think my next trip there (probably not until Feb-Mar next year) I would like to go to a studio for a demo. We could do one of RiDawn's and one of mine/ours. I'll be contacting you in person in Jan I guess to discuss details.
