21st Century

Another one done at County Q recording studios

I think we did 4 in 3 hours , Thats how they work , Then they go to another studio in the afternoon and do 4 more , pay scale union . Paul the owner was bit demanding of players , they crank em out pretty fast. if it was a master recording they probably spend more time on them , labels would be paying the bill . I'm sure that has not changed in 2025

Her name was Bambi Buckles 

She played at Mccready's Bar 

She had braided hair a little flower on her guitar 

She said played with the Dead back in 92 

But I guess those days are thru

Its the 21st century 

but you know it's the same ole game

Ya got Alternative that turns with a little bit of a twist 

Ya got hip hop rap Marvin Gaye would be shaking his fist 

She had real close friends behind the scenes 

But all they wanted was in her jeans

 Its the 21st century 

but you know it's the same ole game

But just long as you can rock that roll

Move some lonely soul

it really doesn't matter if it's 1953 

If you get em feeling that fire inside 

Well honey you're ahead of your time 

Its the 21st century 

but you know it's the same ole game

Well say young country has swept all over the world 

Ya got Garth Shania young stars the age of 12

But it's still broken hearts steel guitars 

Some ole boy that's holding all the cards 

Its the 21st century 

but you know it's the same ole game

Well its still relevant on the music biz , Some old boy holding all the cards , its dated now since I said Garth and Shania , Thats a rule you should not break . Don't date songs with references that do so

I like the style you've given it; it feels like a movie. And yes, your lyrics made me remember that atmosphere in the studios with the musicians packing up after recording here and having to go record another piece there!!!

I have engraved in my memory the smell of a guitar case, so full of everything, everything..

Very good work, as professional as always. @ElvisNash

They still do that in Nashville , its basically 3 hour sessions, 3 times a day in different studios , of course if it majors the spend more time on the songs , Sitting there messing with licks what's the best for the song. They could probably spend weeks in a studio with big budgets . What are we talking here 400k for a record ? I'm not sure . They might fly to New York City to mix it
