When you enter a special contest or giveaway, you always wonder what it would be like to win.  Through a promotion with Music City Roots and Mountain Heart, they made sure to give the winner an evening never to be forgotten.  We caught up with Mountain Heart at a home in East Nashville for an intimate backyard party for the winner and 25 of his closest friends.

Now it’s time for our weekly Songwriter Tip, brought to you by Nashville Songwriters Association International.  This week we sit down with James Dean Hicks as he talks about ways to make a song more believable.
