R.I.P. "Bro-Country" (2011-2014) « Saving Country Music

"Death by overexposure" was the coroner's verdict. "Bro-Country is scheduled to be buried in the rubble of the historic RCA Studio 'A' building set to be bulldozed on Music Row in Nashville. And in Bro-Country's memory, an edifice to gentrification and homogenization will be erected in the form of a 147,000 square foot condominium complex on the location."

Singer/songwriter Ben Dukes writes in the comments:

"I pitched a song earlier this year, and received the critique:

"'While the story development and imagery are strong, this publisher is looking for HITS. The song lacks in this area. Focus more on current country themes like partying, drinking on the tailgate, girls in short-shorts, etc. Melodically, this feels more like Waylon Jennings than anything on the radio. Focus more on repeating triplets or rhythmic patterns similar to Florida Georgia Line's "This is How We Roll" or Blake Shelton's "Boys Round Here."'"
