The only thing you have to watch is if you are planning on pitching the song to other artists. Then their image comes into play and you have to pay attention to that and notice it in the type songs they cut. Most artists won't cut a song that puts the singer in a bad light and this is especially true in country.


Agreed! I had this conversation with my wife and Carrie Underwood's "Think Before He Cheats" was on the radio. I said "See, I would have not written a song like this." A long story made short, I'm not worrying about it any more smile
