(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Taylor Abram (Dan Hodges Music LLC/SOCAN) - Written in a basement in Barrie, Ontario on a freezing cold Sunday afternoon. I think Taylor smokes this demo. We dig this song - hope you do too. I can hear it in a Grey's Anatomy episode....and although it's early 2012, that might well be the least manly thing I say all year. I should really erase that. Hey, my delete button is broken!!!!!! DOH!

(c) 2011 Shane Martin/Zac Wrixon (Shane Martin Music - ASCAP/Dan Hodges Music LLC) - I've written more songs with Shane than anyone on the planet. We're good buds and we work really well together. Love this one. There was in fact a red dress, and she rocked it.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Chad Raymon/Ryan Griffin (Dan Hodges Music LLC/Dan Hodges Music LLC/Luckie Duck Publishing) - This was the first time Ryan and I wrote with Chad and he brought this great hook. We were trying to write a short song that stays with you long after it's over - the kind of song you immediately want to listen to again. Ryan just sings his tail off on this one - he could sing the phone book and I'd buy it (not that anyone has a phone book anymore, but hey...)

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Jared Thibeau (Dan Hodges Music LLC/SOCAN) - Another cowrite with my benevolent evil-genius friend Jared. I'm just going to let this one speak for itself.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Leilah Hayman (Dan Hodges Music LLC/Safka Publishing) - I originally wrote this in a hotel room in Nashville a while ago. I always liked the lyrics but didn't like the melody so I brought it to a co-write. Leilah experimented with a few chords and in about five minutes we had the chorus. It's now one of my favourite songs I've ever written.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Tommy Townsend (Dan Hodges Music LLC/Dan Hodges Music LLC) - This was my first ever Nashville co-write, and it led to a great friendship and a lot more songs. It was a big thrill for us to have this on hold with a major artist - it didn't pan out, but it was a great vote of confidence. It was the first time I said to myself, "Maybe I CAN do this". Tommy sings his tail off on this one.

(c) 2011 Nick Versoza/Zac Wrixon/Shane Martin (Tiyaga Music/Dan Hodges Music LLC/ASCAP) - I first met Nick at an NSAI event and was just floored by the honesty and creativity of his music. I had wanted to write with him for a long time. Shane and I recently had the pleasure and we're real happy with the song that came out of it. Nick is already playing it live in his home state of Texas. Check him out at www.nickverzosa.com

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Jared Thibeau (Dan Hodges Music LLC/SOCAN) - Jared and I had a lot of fun writing this one, drawing inspiration from a famous Seinfeld episode where Jerry concludes George is officially in a relationship based on what's under the sink in his bathroom. Game over.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Megan Conner (Dan Hodges Music LLC/Dandy Lines Publishing) - I had a blast writing this with Megan. We had just met that day and when I played her a few ideas this was the one she really liked. We finished it pretty quick. Another great vocal from my friend Steve Fox.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon (Dan Hodges Music LLC) - When writing a song I try to make the lyrics unique but relatable at the same time. Everybody's got one that got away right? I'm no exception - mine is a '71 Les Paul Gold Top. HA!

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Tommy Townsend (Dan Hodges Music LLC/Dan Hodges Music LLC) - My songs are really lyric-driven and I think this one really shows that. Tommy and I came up with a real feel good number and we're really happy with it. This is the fourth or fifth song we've written together and we have a lot of fun doing it.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Harry Hess (Dan Hodges Music LLC/Universal) - I wrote this with Harry Hess, a producer/songwriter/recording artist and frontman of legendary Canadian hair band Harem Scarem. We met on a flight to Nashville that had 6 people on it, so we acted like we had our own private plane. Caviar, Courvoisier, cigars....well, not really. It was Air Canada after all.

(c) 2010 Zac Wrixon (Dan Hodges Music LLC) - I wrote this at a really fun time in my life, and it was the first time I wrote an uptempo number on my own where I thought I could hear it on the radio right now. I haven't heard it on the radio yet, but hey...

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon/Karen Warbington Jr. (Dan Hodges Music LLC/BMI) - This song was a really interesting experiment. I had come up with a verse and chorus but the melody was just to close to something else I couldn't get out of my head. After meeting Karen randomly in line at The Bluebird, I asked her if she'd write the melody to it. I think she hit it out of the park. This remains the only song I have where I wrote only the lyrics and not a stitch of the music. Who's singing the song? What's it about? Well, that's up to you.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon (Dan Hodges Music LLC) - I re-wrote this song nine times before arriving at the version you hear. I am pretty confident that it's so risque that only Trace Adkins would cut it. I usually close my shows with this one.

(c) 2011 Zac Wrixon (Dan Hodges Music LLC) - Regardless of whatever mistakes we've made in our lives, sometimes we get lucky and are blessed with someone whose very presence reminds us that we did something right. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, remember me for this one.
