Ep 484: Is The End Of Labels? Jul 15, 2025

CLIMBers, a value shift is underway in the marketplace with artists moving equity and income away from traditional music companies (i.e., labels) and keeping it with the creators and their teams.

Merck Mercuriatis, the founder of Hipgnosis, is behind this movement with a new venture that is all about artists and managers making the majority of the money rather than the labels. Mercuriadis has hundreds of millions of investment capital behind him.

What does this mean for the labels? What does this mean for songwriters? And what does it mean for you? That's what we're going to talk about right here on The CLIMB.

Songwriting Pro's "The Hang" with Hit Songwriter, Kent Blazy Apr 19, 2024

Kent Blazy is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. His credits include several singles for Garth Brooks, as well as singles by Gary Morris, Diamond Rio, Patty Loveless and Chris Young. He has a total of seven number one hits to his credit.

In 1982, Gary Morris took "Headed for a Heartache" to number 5 on the charts. In the years that followed other artists, such as The Forrester Sisters, T. Graham Brown, Donna Fargo and Moe Bandy recorded Kent’s tunes.

In 1987, Kent was introduced to a new demo singer by Bob Doyle, then with ASCAP, soon to be the manager for this emerging talent, Garth Brooks. Garth became Kent’s most requested demo singer and Bob Doyle also advised, “Garth writes a little bit too.”

The first song Garth and Kent penned together was "If Tomorrow Never Comes" which became the first number one song for both. The friendship and writing partnership continued as Garth included eight more of their songs on his albums.

Four more of theirs songs captured the number one slot:

"Somewhere Other Than the Night", "Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up)", "It’s Midnight Cinderella", and "She’s Gonna Make It.”

Brooks continued to record Blazy’s material throughout the 1990s, including the singles “Cold Shoulder” and the George Jones duet “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?).”

He also co-wrote “That’s What I Get for Lovin’ You” by Diamond Rio and “Can’t Get Enough” by Patty Loveless in the late 1990s.

Kent’s songwriting continues with established writing partnerships, as well as developing partnerships with new writers and artists. Many of his crafted works continue to be recorded by artists such as Diamond Rio, Kenny Chesney, Terri Clark, Clay Walker, Patty Loveless, Julie Roberts, Andy Griggs and Blaine Larsen, a new recording artist on RCA.

Kent's latest #1 hit is Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song), recorded by Chris Young.

Kent also has the title track on Reba's latest CD "All The Women I Am" It's also the name of her tour, tv special and her exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Also, look for Kent's latest cuts from Randy Houser "The Power of a Song" on Randy's latest CD. And "Empty Beer Cans" on Jon Pardi's album "Write You A Song".

Songwriting Pro's "The Hang" with Pro Songwriter, Phillip Lammonds Mar 22, 2024

Hear the behind-the-scenes story of a hit songwriter's biggest cut... and biggest bruise!

Phillip Lammonds is a songwriter and instrumentalist from the musically rich mountains of North Carolina. He was a founder of The Blue Dogs, a critically acclaimed bluegrass and rock inspired jam band. He then started his family in Pawley’s Island, South Carolina while working as a fishing guide, a falconer, and the owner of a real estate company. All the while, he wrote songs and traveled to Nashville to pitch them. After fifteen years, fifty or so trips to Nashville, and cuts on major artists—Hootie and the Blowfish, Josh Turner, Craig Morgan—Phillip moved to music city to pursue songwriting full time. He stepped onto the scene with a publishing deal from Curb Entertainment and a back catalog nearly five hundred songs strong. Phillip’s songs have been recorded by artists like Lee Brice, Jerrod Niemann, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Edwin McCain, Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, Mo Pitney, and Dylan Scott. Today, he shares the inside story of one of his biggest cuts… and biggest bruises!

LYRICS:

It’s amazing what a shot of sunshine can do

Yeah it’ll clear your mind

We’ve only been here for maybe an hour or two

And already lost track of time

Might be the water,

or my-feet in the sand

Might be the breeze

or this drink in my Hand

But it’s working

Whatever it is

It’s workin’

I could take more of this

I don’t need a reason

I stay right here all season

Cause it’s workin’

The only thing that I’m thinking about Right now

Is thinking bout nothing

Bartender fire up the blender

And Keepin em coming

Whatever your making give me

one for each hand

I Don’t know what I'm drinking

But I don’t give a damn

Cause it’s working

Whatever it is

it’s workin’

I could take more of this

I don't need a reason

I could stay right here all season

Cause it’s working

Bought a ticket out of LAX

A tube of 30 spf

New pair of ray Bands

And here I am

But it’s working

Whatever it is

It’s workin’

I could take more of this

I don’t need a reason

I stay right here all season

Cause it’s workin’

LYRICS:

Have you heard the latest story

Seen what's on the news

It turns you upside down and any which way but loose.

It's all crime scenes, war machine everyone's on different teams

everyday's the same routine is it just a crazy dream

taking us to the devils door

Can you tell me, tell, tell me, tell me what it's all for

Chorus:

OOOOh this worlds gone crazy

Watch it going up in flame

OOOOh this worlds gonna crazy

All this Talk, talk talk is driving me insane

Don't you believe nothin that you hear

And only half of what you see

Life don't come with a money back guarantee

Can't escape the masquerade when everyday a brand new faith

Grace slipping like a snake and bittersweet is the only taste

Dancing to the devils do-si-do

Can you tell me, tell, tell me, tell me what it's all for

Chorus:

OOOOh this worlds gone crazy

Watch it going up in flame

OOOOh this worlds gonna crazy

All this Talk, talk talks is driving me insane

We're all refugees of this war

Can you tell me, tell, tell me, tell me what it's all for

Chorus:

OOOOh this worlds gone crazy

Watch it going up in flame

OOOOh this worlds gonna crazy

All this Talk, talk talks driving me insane

LET YOU

We could dance around this all night Pretend like it don’t feel right

But we ain’t fooling anybody We could play it like we aint on ﬁre

Keep walking that tightrope wire

But we ain’t fooling anybody CHORUS

If you wanna kiss me in parking lot Dance with me all night in a honky tonk Go round for round till the whisky’s talking Ain’t gonna hear me stopping you

If that’s what you wanna do, I wanna let you Go ahead and take me home

If you wanna see where this could go

I don’t wanna hit the breaks

Don’t hold back come on and make move If that’s what you wanna do, I wanna let you I wonder what your lips taste like

Wonder how they feel on mine

Say the word don’t leave me hanging on Don’t wait too long it’s what we want

And we ain’t fooling anybody CHORUS I don’t wanna let this night end

I don’t wanna let you go

Why are we trying to ﬁght it

If we ain’t fooling anybody

"Missin' The Moon" LYRICS:

You said you never been to the country

I said let’s take a ride

You said you never would’a done this If she was by your side

And you keep going on about

Wonderin’ what she’s doing now

Doesn’t even cross your mind

Stars are falling left and right

And that could be us tonight

CHORUS:

So I send a wish, drop a hint

This could be it, but you don’t have a clue

There’s a million signs way up high

Just look at this view

This night couldn’t be more perfect

Look, I’m right in front of you

We've got a whole sky full of stars

But here you are

Just missin’ the moon

Missin’ the, missin' the moon

I’m always giving you a shoulder

She’s always saying goodbye

Can’t you admit that it’s over

‘N let us have our time to shine

'Cuz you keep going on about

Hoping you can work it out

Doesn’t even cross your mind

Stars are falling left and right

That could be us tonight

CHORUS:

This night couldn’t be more perfect

Look, I’m right in front of you

We've got a whole sky full of stars

But here you are Just missin’ the moon

Wanna shake you till you wake up

Till you finally see the truth It's us that's written in the stars

But here you are Just missin' the moon

Missin' the, missin' the moon

LYRICS:

Oh, oh, oh

They must’ve called him crazy

There by the stream that day

Getting rid of soldiers left and right

Who builds an army that way

And who goes to battle

With a trumpet and a torch

But it’s not how you fight It’s

Who you’re fighting for

CHORUS:

The God of Gideon does the impossible

The God of Gideon, He is unstoppable

The odds that are against you

Don’t matter when He’s with you

So take that step and follow Him

Trust in the God of Gideon

Oh, oh, oh

You might feel too weak like

God should find somebody else

But He’s never called anyone

Who could do it without His help

Ya just gotta trust Him

And follow where He leads

‘Cuz it’s His mighty strength

That wins the victory

CHORUS :

BRIDGE:

When you think it can’t be done

Remember the God of Gideon

When you’re scared and you wanna run

Remember the God of Gideon

Take your eyes and lift them up

He already has the battle won

Remember, remember

CHORUS

Vaquera and the Cowboy

(Lamont Coleman. Leah Turner)

They’ve got a story book love

The kind you only dream of

They love like legends

So if you're ever questioning

If someone’s gonna take your hand

And never let go

Watch the vaquera and the cowboy

They’re moving like outlaws on the floor

They’re hotter than a smoking gun

Make you wanna get the one

And find ya a sunset and ride away

Watch the vaquera and the cowboy

He holds her like she’s gold

It never gets old

He sees her wild west soul

So stop looking everywhere

Never getting nowhere

Let your heart watch love unfold

Watch the vaquera and the cowboy

They’re moving like outlaws on the floor

They’re hotter than a smoking gun

Make you wanna get the one

And find ya a sunset and ride away

Watch the vaquera and the cowboy

It ain’t always the cowboy

That saddles up and rides away

Sunrise will come and he will stay

Watch the Vaquera and the Cowboy

Watch the vaquera and the cowboy

They’re moving like outlaws on the floor

They’re hotter than a smoking gun

Make you wanna get the one

And find ya a sunset and ride away

Watch the vaquera and the cowboy

LYRICS:

Ba da ba da ba da bop ba

You're a tall drink of something I can get in trouble with

Mix you with a little rum, mmmmm, so good on my lips

Get a buzz just for fun

You can start this night off right by asking if I wanna dance

I might let you get up close enough I think you've got a chance

Yeah who knows, where this might go

But tonight it's just a bar thing

Kicking back and drinking

I could see it could lead

To a walk me to your car thing

Swinging on the front porch

Kissing behind closed doors

I don't see no harm in starting

Just a bar thing

I can tell you 'bout my momma and my job or my hometown

You can fast talk all you wanna I ain't gonna slow you down

With those eyes, I've got time

But when Sweet Caroline comes on, it's my party jam

Boy you better sing along if you want hands touching hands

Reaching out, touching you

'Cause tonight it's just a bar thing

Kicking back and drinking

I could see it could lead

To a walk me to your car thing

Swinging on the front porch

Kissing behind closed doors

I don't see no harm in starting

Just a bar thing

Starting just a bar thing

So far it's just a bar thing

But if you're thinking what I'm thinking

Tonight it's just a bar thing

Kicking back and drinking

But I can see you and me

Walking to your car, then

Swinging on your front porch

Kissing behind closed doors

I don't see no harm in starting

Oh tonight it's just a bar thing

Tonight it's just a bar thing

Oh tonight it's just a bar thing

A Bar thing

ba da ba da ba da bop ba

Follow Dustin Bird HERE. Listen to his latest single, Get Go, HERE.

Lyrics:

(Verse)

I know you didn’t mean

To stop me dead in my boots

To sweep me off of my feet

And make my heart skip a beat

Soon as you walked in the room

In the blink of your ocean blues

I knew it was you for good

No doubt in my mind, you don’t even gotta try

And you got me feeling like nobody else could

(Chorus)

I knew it from the get go

I was never ever gonna ever wanna let go

Holding on to you

I ain’t ever gon’ regret those countless ILYs

‘Cause every single day you just keep proving me right

Felt it in my bones my heart and my soul

They say when you know you know and I know

I knew it from the get go

(Verse)

Call it luck, call it fate, right time and place

I don’t know what it was but it don’t gotta be explained

You’re the answer to a prayer I didn’t know that I prayed

And just like that, my world changed

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

There was no second guessing

Wasn’t a question

When you walked in to my life

There was no second guessing

Wasn’t a question

I saw the light in your eyes

My Kind Of Hero Aaron Holt, Len Snow, Ryne Brashear

American Legion Post 139

Mom got mad when grandpa took me one time...

too young to Know what those old soldiers said...

When they spoke of lost brothers and bowed their head..

But now I know... That's my kind of hero

Chorus

No super suit no catchy theme song

no fear of doing what's right

Just a heart of a lion covered in courage in darkness their shining a light.

and they kiss goodbye the ones they love and out the door they go

Praying they make it home.

That's my kind of hero

2nd verse

She turns off the news cause it's all still the same

Her brothers and sisters in blue face blame

She puts on her boots and her badge once again

She knows the dangers and keeps clockin in...man all I know...is that's my kind of hero.

Chorus

No super suit no catchy theme song

no fear of doing what's (stay up) right

Just a heart of a lion covered in courage in darkness their shining a light

and they kiss goodbye the ones they love and out the door they go (protect you and me)

That's my kind of hero

Bridge

A plane crashes into a building most of us run and hide...

Some run inside....

Repeat chorus

With No super suit no catchy theme song…

One Tonight

Writers: Brent Baxter, Don Amero, Doug Folkins

LYRICS:

We got 5 days in the rearview

10 gallons in the tank

And 2 days full of nothing to do

A couple hundred in the bank

And I know what you’re thinkin’

It’s just another weekend

With a thousand more on the way

But girl it just hit me

Life, goes by quick ‘n we

Don’t have any time to waste

CHORUS:

We just get one tonight

One chance to get it right

Like trying to catch a comet

You’d better get up on it

‘Cuz you’re never gonna see it twice

It’s over when it’s over

So slide a little closer

And kiss me a million times

We just get one tonight, tonight

We could take that two-lane downtown

Go party with a dozen friends

Or slow down with this six pack

Baby, we could just stay in

Don’t care what we’re doin’

Long as I’m with you ’n

Making every moment count

So let’s get to livin’

This love we’ve been given

Every minute till the moon goes down

CHORUS

We just get one tonight

Yeah, we just get one tonight, yeah

CHORUS

We just get one tonight, yeah

Video Content Challenge #6: Worth The Wait Sep 24, 2021

Oh yeah…you’re going to wanna listen to this one. She’s a BADASS up-and-comer!!!

Worth the Wait

Cowriters: Blue Foley, Trick Savage, Emma Zinck, and Trish Silvey

I give the snooze button

A little too much loving

When I’m up to something

Past 3AM

I Got my reasons

I’m always leaving

When I oughta be there

way back when

Get my hair right

at the next long red light

Might not be there by 8

But I’ll be dressed to the 9s

Chorus

C’mon now have a little patience

I’m gonna own every minute I’m taking

It might take a sec - I ain’t Fex Ex.

If the place ain’t popping I ain’t there yet

I’m always running behind

Baby good things Take sweet time

I’m the latest - but I’m the greatest

when I make it

I’m a gonna make it

Worth the wait

Grapes take awhile on the vine till they’re finally fine wine

You know they age good whiskey

Just like I let you miss me

Chorus

Pre bridge

I may not be punctual

But damn I’m lovable

Once I’m on a roll

You’ll forget lost time

023 EXPAND YOUR BRAND: How to Discover Your Brand Jan 04, 2019

What EXACTLY is your brand? Why should you know how to articulate this seemingly simple question?

Just about every indie artist is vague on how to describe their brand. Fans latch on to your brand as much, or in some cases, even more than your music. The artist’s music and their brand stand for something that consumers relate to. YOUR BRAND PROVIDES MANY DIFFERENT WAYS FOR CONSUMERS TO INSTINCTIVELY RECOGNIZE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE. Oh, and if you think your brand is just about marketing, you’re way off base. When an artist is enlightened on their brand, it strongly influences the artistic decisions as well, like what songs you’ve written are for you, image, production, arrangement, etc.

Every time we on-board a new client at Daredevil Production, part of our job description is to discover the artist’s brand and their brand layers. The information we acquire from this exercise provides all the answers we need to targeting, content creation, and strategy creation.

Here’s the thing, your brand is like an onion, there’s more than meets the eye and it’s in the form of many different layers. We developed a very effective system for not only peeling these layers and getting to the core of our new artist’s brand but uncovering the subtle undertones that consumers will relate to.

In this episode we’re going to share this system with you! Over the years we have created and refined an extensive questionnaire that reveals the core values and understated coatings of intent, meaning, and direction for our artists. In fact, we’re going to give you this questionnaire we developed as a free download.

Just visit DaredevilProduction.com/DiscoverYourBrand and tell us where to send it.

PS:Imagine what it will feel like to wake up tomorrow and know exactly who your audience is and how to effectively get them to like you. The more you discover your brand and clearly understand how to connect with people online through your brand, the quicker you’re going to make a living in the music industry. Help me help you. Schedule a consultation call today and we will help you clarify everything so you’re not wasting time. Every second you spend growing your audience is maximized.
