Thanks for the great Nashville perspectives on this subject. I can certainly understand the personal relationship aspect of getting heard - that's just how the world works in practically any field.

One area I would like you to shed some light on pertains to trying to hit a home run (e.g. a hit country record) versus getting a cut on an album in a comparatively small genre - more of a niche, let's say. Obviously, most of the attention is on hitting one out of the ballpark, but wouldn't someone without the contacts and track record be ahead to aim at something more modest - possibly by a local up and coming indie artist rather than a megastar?

Thanks,

Colin
