"One of the best interviews I've ever done" - Steve Dean, songwriter, Watching You

"I wanted to thank you for such an insightful look into the Nashville music scene. It feels impossible at times trying to land a cut, especially being an outsider, but having this better understanding rejuvenates my optimism. This book is must-have learning material for any songwriter. Thank you!" - BK Godwin, songwriter

For thirteen weeks in the summer of 2011, listeners to the American Forces Radio Network and other stations across the country were tuned in to Behind the Hits, an hour-long show hosted and produced by Ty Hager and featuring in-depth interviews with some of Nashville's most successful songwriters.

Now you can read the COMPLETE interviews (including TONS that didn't make it onto the show) in this informative and entertaining collection! You'll get the stories behind such smash hits as Garth Brooks' The Dance, Toby Keith's My List, John Michael Montgomery's I Swear, Martina McBride's Independence Day, and DOZENS more! You'll also learn about the music business in Nashville, stories of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds faced by songwriters and artists alike, in a town where - regardless of your success - "you're only as good as your next song."Also available in audio and digital formats.
