This album of demo performances showcases the songwriter's original vision. It is a 'peek behind the curtain' of Music Row. Sometimes the demo is virtually a template for how the hit record will eventually sound. At other times, it might be a simple, straightforward performance of a singer accompanied by a sole guitar or piano. The 'stars' of this record are some of the most famouscountry songs of the past 20 years, the songwriters who created them, the stories behind them, and the demo recordings that gave them birth'
