He’s co-written many amazing songs with the renowned songwriter, Aimee Mayo.

Buddy Brock

We’re big fans of Buddy Brock. His catalog contains songs published by Acuff-Rose/Sony Music, where Brock was a staff-writer from 1990-2007. It has seen diverse cuts by Alan Jackson, Tracy Byrd, Kenny Chesney, Aaron Tippin, and George Strait.

The songs he’s written have appeared on over 13 platinum albums, with several becoming mainstays in the Country radio format.  “Watermelon Crawl” (Tracy Byrd);  “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong With The Radio” and “You’ve Got To Stand For Something” (Aaron Tippin) have each received Triple-Million-Spin awards.  His George Strait hit, “If Heartaches Were Horses” was #1 for 3 weeks. Lila McCann’s “I Want To Fall In Love” was awarded two million plays before reaching #1 in 1998.

We’re quite pleased to add him to our repertoire.

Hearts Bluff at Soundland 2011

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

Hearts Bluff was able to check out some great shows and panels provided by Soundland – presented by Next Big Nashville. We heard some great discussions on the music biz and saw performances by today’s biggest up-and-comers.

The kick the event off we sat in on a panel discussing the success of the Civil Wars. We learned that it was a great, trustworthy, devoted team that believed in their artists and promoted them using out of the box methods. We went to other panels discussing the success of Noisetrade, the upcoming recapturing of copyrights, Kickstarter, the growing Rootmusic on Facebook, and a songwriter Q&A with the ever so talented Justin Townes Earl.

The shows offered a great chance to sample some great acts like M. Ward, Foster the People, Justin Townes Earl, and Apache Relay.

Thanks to Soundland for putting on a great event! We’re already looking forward to next year!
