I seem to recall a Faith Hill release that was cut in a country production, AND in a more pop production. The differences were subtle, as I recall, but significant in addressing the cut to the markets of those different genres.

(Was it "This Kiss"? It was more pop-oriented to begin with, but production could lean it more to one or the other genre.)

And I seem to recall a discussion, perhaps around that same story, that many songs are double-cut like that nowadays to endeavor to succeed in crossover airplay and sales.

It certainly seems wise that, if you have a song that isn't so country it couldn't possibly take a pop lean, you should avail yourself of that potential.

There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
