Reprinted from http://www.mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=182113Email: info@songwritersuk.com Website: http://www.songwritersuk.comA UK-based songwriter has criticised some of Nashville's producers and A&R's, because they are all expecting to hear Nashville-produced 'radio-ready demos, of songs being pitched. A former producer himself, Ross Hemsworth says that when he is given demos, he likes to hear them in the most basic form so that he can then add that production magic to make a good song 'great'. Speaking in the UK today he said "what is left for them to produce id it's already done for them" Ross has been in the music industry for over 40 years, during which time he has co-written with the likes of Suzi Quatro, produced at Gary Numan's former Rock City recording studios, managed a band to three top ten's with Sony Records and been a radio plugger in London. A voting member of the US Songwriters Hall of Fame and Sesac affiliate, Ross is also concerned at the 'songwriting teams' that are seemingly closing the door on outside writers in Nashville and how many artists, A & R's and producers, are using the same teams. Ross added "I love Nashville, and am a big fan of the music from bands like Little Big Town, Lady Antabellum and The Band Perry, but many artists are starting to sound too much the same because of not being open to new different songwriting styles". Ross, who has his own studio in the UK, has received excellent reviews for many of his songs and has cuts in the UK, but is frustrated at not getting heard in Nashville. "I use a well-known songplugger, but the feedback is usually the same, that they are looking for Nashville-made radio ready demos, and as they will be recording them again from scratch, I just don't get it!" Ross can be contacted via www.songwritersuk.com### Well, that just about says what all the Nashville folks have been saying for quite awhile. Any comments from Nashville ? cheers, niteshift
