I heard you hooked up with Old Greg...and that's why we hang out

November 09, 2008

What is up people?  Ruthie here and I must say it's been absolutely WAY too long... which is my fault of course.  I've had a really cool weeks wanna hear about it?  ok....

So i've been writing my little butt off lately and I'm SO excited about these songs! I really feel like I have been writing the best songs that I ever had and it's a really good feeling!  I took a trip to NY, wrote with some awesome writers there, went to my hometown and opened up for Aaron Carter....haahaa just kidding Jade is was Aaron Tippin... funny though because it was in the city Nick Carter was born in...(coincidence? I think not...)  Anyway that was an amazing amazing trip!  The people from county in NY forever rock my world because they constantly play Wild Honey on the radio and I think that's AWESOME!!!

Anyway, I have been so inspired by some of the writers I've been hanging with lately!!! And you guys seriously need to check some of these people out! You will be fans I promise!

I wrote a great song called disappear with my buddy Jeff Cohen...  Quickly became a favorite of mine... you can check that out at my myspace.  Also one of my favorite writing partners ever... Blu Sanders...couldn't find a cooler guy!  He's an AMAZING artist and I think he needs to be featured on like every episode of Grey's anatomy and every show on the CW... He rocks... 

Also wrote a really cool song Country Girl Fairy-tale with my friend Steve Bogard the other day... you can check out the youtube video of it if you want!!!  This was cool because his hit list is CRAZY!!! He had all of his latest cuts and holds written up on a chalkboard in his office where we wrote and it was so long!!!! p.s. who gets a taylor swift cut anyway??? Like I said crazy.

Oh another cool story!  I wrote with a really cool guy the other day.  Trent Dabbs.  Definitely check him out. This was cool because I've actually been a fan of his for a while now.  So for all you super fans out there.. you will like this.  So I found Trent's music through Ashley Monroe. I've been a fan of hers ever since her song Satisfied was on CMT a few years back. But she doesn't have a record out so I go to her myspace to listen to her music.  That's how I found trent.  So my BMI rep set up the write and we wrote an awesome song called the Hurting Side.  Even cooler though Trent asked me to sing at a session that he had booked for the next day.  Turned out ashley was out of town and couldn't sing the songs...so me (the fan of Ashley and Trent) got to sing on two songs in the studio that they had written together!!!! Small world huh?  It was a really cool experience!!!

So that's a little catch up for you on my life!!!  

Happy almost holiday season guys!!! I'm getting excited for pie!!!

MUAH:)
