my latest hit.... for those that asked.

Very cool Craig. I have to admit that song grows on you. My teenage daughter is a big fan of that song. So for now its OK for me to be on the forum. Because someone cool is on it. Fun with teenagers

I have long wondered who the bass player was on that song. It caught my ear as the most important part along with the keys.

Good song, good playing! you rock.

Today, while driving and listening to Sirius radio, I heard them say that this tune is like the #1 country tune of the year or something like that. Pretty impressive!!

Craig who is the old dude that plays with them live. One cool looking muther ! And one sweet player too

 

[cyoungnashville]

hhhmmmm. im not aware of any old dudes in the live band. got a picture, or know what instrument?? it wouldnt be hard to figure out.

 

[Freddels]

"Old" is so relative.

Yeah, um, "old dude", is he?

 

[tkarter]

I have no idea who plays what on that song. I have seen the singers.

I learned here who was on the bass. I have no idea who else is playing that song but it is and will be one of my favorites.

Some tight playing went on and that is why it is a good song.
to me any way.

Sorry my bad, I thought for some reason he much older. Diddnt mean to offend any of the age of anybody here I just meant he's not sixteen !
Anyway do you know who he is ? No big deal if you don't
Cheers dude

Craig, I am so happy to learn you are the bass player on the Lady Antebelum hit. The first time I heard it I was drawn to your brilliant bass lines. I checked the David Mead songs and once again your signature lines become and integral part of the song. Thanks for keeping the bass in the forefront of pop music.

 

[cyoungnashville]

well, if youre talking about their live bass player, his name is dennis edwards. great cat. of course , he's not playing a note in this video clip, thats my bass track you are hearing. the band is faking it. i sit at home and make all the money, but he gets to travel and ends up with the chicks. u win some, u lose some i guess. im ready to do another tour, just waitin for a RRREEAAAALLL good one!!

 

[DTG]

Ahh I had wondered that, great tone you got going there nice job dude

 

[Colin]

Craig do you still get paid for your work when it's played after it's been recorded?

 

[Hellboy]

Craig do you still get paid for your work when it's played after it's been recorded?

As it works here in Sweden (and most other countries) musicians get paid each time a song you´ve played on is broadcasted on the telly or on radio. Not on local radio stations but the major networks has to pay. The organization that handle this here is called SAMI. Swedish Artist & Musicians Association. They are collaborating with other similar organizations around the globe. Strangely enough I see on SAMI´s website that USA is not listed among the countries they work with. That is odd. Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, France, Japan and most other countries in the "civilized" world are listed but not USA. Even countries like Uruguay and Latvia is on there. Neither New Zealand nore Australia is on the list either. Don´t know how it works in these countries.

Awesome song!!! Got goosebumps watching that video...did I mention that I don't listen to country music

For some reason I kept thinking about Concrete Blonde's song 'Joey'. I love that song. It has that same type of sweet melancholy aching feel. 'Need you now' is going to be a keeper

Great work, as always

Craig, I heard that you're working on the new Britney Spears record. Is she doing country stuff? That would be so cool. I'd love to hear her done some country stuff with great hooks like Big & Rich do. Do you know those guys?

cyoungnashville,

this mp3 won't play to me, damn!

I must try that at home PC!

What's this some flash player or something?

P.S. ...DTG, do You need sound engineer in this nice studio? I could be available if You need one!

Edit: ...Oh, sorry, now it's workin', Firefox did the job, ...good stuff, quality production, indeed! Is that a real acoustic snare drum in drums line? If it is, it's excellent recorded and blended!

 

[lefenton]

Craig,
Very nice playing man!!! Every day at the "office" must be like paradise! I'm like a dargie delight with envy!!!

 

[Rano Bass]

Great job Craig, nice playing.
Can i ask what things you did with Elton John and Megadeth?
