v2 above attempts to implement Paulie's comments: "Revisit the form, and follow the concept that there should be one musical focus point at a time. If it's the harmonica solo, make sure it is out front, but not too hot. When the vocal comes in, make sure everything else is out of the way and complementing it, but also be sure that the levels are all still good."

• The harmonica now drops out for the first verse.
• The lead guitar volume is down for the second verse so that the harmonica dominates.
• The harmonica is out again for verse three and the guitar break.
• For the final verse the lead guitar drops out.

I used to be on the road most all the time
Loved that life, thought I was doing fine
Then my traditional baby, you changed my mind

Now I come home just as soon as my workday's done
Nights I'm partying ... one on one
It's just so traditional, what have I become?

You can't go both left and right, no, you have got to choose
And baby I just know, I know I'm so right with you
But sometimes late at night I'm going to sing these traditiional blues

Now my friends they tell me these traditional blues ain't bad
Now my friends they tell me the traditional blues ain't so bad
You know, I don't believe that that was the traditional blues that they had.

TRADITIONAL BLUES SONGS with Male Vocals are needed for several (up to) $5,000, Direct-to-Music-Supervisor placements in a range of TV Shows on Major Networks.

This Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Songs in All Tempos in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references we got directly from them:

"Big Boss Man" by Jimmy Reed

"Little Red Rooster" by Howlin' Wolf

"You Don't Love Me, Baby" by Junior Wells

You can submit recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the references; or, if you’ve got any vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), the Music Supervisor would love to hear those as well!

Please send well-crafted Blues Songs with soulful melodies, memorable choruses, and great rhythms. Authentic-sounding Blues instrumentation is essential for this pitch – if you're planning on using any virtual instruments, they need to sound like the real thing. Expressive, well-performed vocals paired with well-crafted lyrics could help you seal the deal!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity will make your Songs easier to place. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The estimated license fee for each placement is up to $5,000, depending on the ultimate use. These are Direct-to-Music Supervisor placements, so you'll keep 100% ownership of your Master and Composition rights, plus you'll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was hand-picked by the Music Supervisor. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, July 5th, 2021.
