I got some awesome news, and owe it to you!

[Sabre]

Awesome news, and I owe it to all of you who’ve kept voting for my song for the last six months+! The Independent Music Network is holding their first annual IMN Awards.  I’ve been nominated for the Mainstream Crossover Artist/Band of the Year, mostly on the basis of my song, “We Surround Them”, staying in the Top-30 for over six months now.  Thanks so much for the continued support.

Honestly, I thought this song was done when it dropped briefly off the Independent Music Network Top-30 Country Chart (http://www.independentmusicnetwork.com/ccharts.php) a few weeks back, but it has roared back with a vengeance.  It’s now at number 9 this week, a scant 22 points behind the number 1 song.

The award winners will be determined by a mix of continued fan votes, the IMN radio poll, and IMN Editor Picks.  So I’m asking for an all-out get-out-the-vote effort by my friends.  Please go to the following website

http://www.independentmusicnetwork.com/vote.php?genre=C

Scroll down to “Rich Owen-We Surround Them” and click on it once a week (per IP address) for the next couple of weeks.  Then, if you’re willing, please send this on as an email to those you feel wouldn’t mind receiving it, to ask for their votes as well.

Listen to the song at www.myspace.com/richowen61, or watch the video of my live performance in Denver, CO, at:

Again, thanks so much, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks alot, guys! If I can just get a record deal now, maybe I could quit my day job and have more time for AH . By the way, my second album will be complete sometime before March 2010.  I'm pretty excited about how it's turning out.  Everytime I write a new song, I wonder, "Okay, is that all I've got? Am I done?"  Three years ago when I wrote my first song, I wondered if I'd be able to write a second; now I'm almost done with a second album.  Who knew? Anyway, thanks again, and have a very merry Christmas!

Thanks, tassos, and everyone else too. I hear what you mean about the guitar, but I was going for a Charlie Daniels feel, so I went with the fiddle taking the musical lead.  Going with an electric guitar as lead would actually give this a pretty solid rock sound (it's on the edge of it anyway).  I got to admit, the fiddle player did a great job (he's actually Joe Diffy's lead guitarist; he does studio work on the side, and really enjoys playing fiddle --his first love).  Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
