I Wanna Hold Your Songs features two #1 songs from some of today’s biggest male country stars. “Getting You Home” was Chris Young’s first #1 single and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Male Country Performance. The song came off his #1 album, The Man I Want To Be. “She Wouldn’t Be Gone” was a #1 single for Blake Shelton for two straight weeks. The song reappeared on Blake’s greatest hits album Loaded: The Best of Blake Shelton.

Hearts Bluff at the 30a Songwriter Fest!

Jessica — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:16:12 +0000

Hearts Bluff just returned from another great trip to the 30a Songwriter Fest. It was our third time attending the festival and our second time hosting The Boathouse venue. Our sponsored venue has become a real gem of the festival–several writers even told us that they were crossing their fingers to play at the Boathouse. Every set was standing room only and we couldn’t have been more excited.

Friday evening the Boathouse hosted Nashville based writer Andrew Combs and the bluesy folk of Asheville-based Shannon Whitworth [and her band]. Next, Hearts Bluff’s own Parker & Parker played a fun round alongside the phenomenal Webb Wilder and one of our favorites, the always-soulful Jimmy Hall. The set ended with “Keep on Smiling” with the crowds singing along at the top of their lungs. Finally we ended with some favorites from last year, the always amazing Tommy Womack and Will Kimbrough. That night, we also enjoyed getting to hear Jill Andrews over at The Gathering Spot.

Saturday we spent some time at the outdoor venue The Gulf Place Amphitheater. Susanne Vega played and Holly Williams followed, but the show was so packed that we could hardly see the stage. Saturday night was back to The Boathouse. Andrews Combs played once again and we were glad to catch his entire set. Our new friends husband-and-wife duo, Homesick Elephant, showcased their unique harmonies and lyrics. Then Parker & Parker opened the next round alongside Allison Moorer and Chas Sandford.

Night #2 with Parker & Parker, Allison Moorer, and Chas Sandford

Sunday was bright and sunny so we headed back to The Gulf Place to catch the legendary Lucinda Williams and Mary Chapin Carpenter. After lazing on the beach in the afternoon, we went out that night to a few new venues to see Kim Richey and Jeff Black at 723 Whiskey Bravo, and Tift Meritt at Bud & Alley’s.

It’s always a nothing less than a privilege getting to watch, meet and even play with such amazing songwriters. We can’t wait to head back next year.

A great dinner was held at Red Pony in Franklin to commemorate the recent purchase by Wondrous Worship of the Alletrop music publishing catalog from writer/producer Ed Cash.

Ed Cash

Jessica — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 22:40:17 +0000

Ed Cash has certainly made an impact in the world of Christian music. His contributions include writing some of the most well known contemporary worship songs, producing and engineering major Christian albums, and playing along on many of those tracks. His songs are sung during Sunday morning service and played on Christian radio. He has won numerous Dove Awards and GMA named him “Producer of the Year” for four consecutive years (’04-’07). Perhaps best known for his work with Chris Tomlin, Ed co-wrote “How Great is Our God,” “Made To Worship,” and “Jesus Messiah.” After 8 years, “How Great is Our God” is one of the top earning CCLI songs of all time, and is still currently the #1 CCLI Song.

We are pleased to announce that Hearts Bluff Music has facilitated the purchase of the Ed Cash catalog on behalf of Wondrous Worship.

Robert Knight recorded this massive hit in 1968. The song peaked at #13 on the charts, and went on to become a Top 40 hit in the following three decades. The UK versions of the song have appeared on the Top 40 chart in every decade between 1960-2010, hitting the Top 20 in every decade but the 1980s. Talk about everlasting…

“Everlasting Love” has been re-cut by various artists including Carl Calrton, Rex Smith and Rachel Sweet, The Love Affair, Sandra, Gloria Estefan, and Jamie Cullum who recorded the song for the movie Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason soundtrack in 2004.
