The Secrets of Songwriting: Leading Songwriters Reveal How to Find Inspiration and Success

Rating:
Summary: For Country Music Fans
Review: First of all, the people interviewed and the songs discussed here are exclusively of the Pop Country Music persuasion. If you are interested in writing hits songs for Nashville or reading about the people who do, then this is the book for you.

Besides that, here's the formula for writing hit songs. Get a pencil. Ready? Here it is: there is no formula. Everyone does it differently, they have no idea why or how they do it and there is almost nothing they can say to help you learn how to do it other than the plainly obvious: just write some songs!

Summary: Susan's created another great book
Review: What if you could sit one on one with Brett Beavers, Jason Blume, Chuck Cannon, Bob DiPiero, Stewart Harris, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Gretchen Peters, Hugh Prestwood, Mike Reid, Steve Seskin, Allen Shamblin, Tia Sillers, and Craig Wiseman and ask them penetrating questions on how they find inspiration and success with their songwriting? That's exactly what Susan Tucker did and you can find their answers in her new book, "The Secrets of Songwriting" If you want to improve your songwriting I highly recommend you get a copy, read it, reread it, take notes, and highlight what they had to say.
