Mo Pitney

[Deleted]

Perhaps the best expression of how Mo Pitney has created his own definition of country music success is found in "Behind This Guitar," a song by Don Sampson and Phil O'Donnell that may not even make the

album.

"People tell me I can’t cut it because the chorus says, 'Behind this guitar there’s just a boy who had a dream in his heart, behind this guitar there’s just a guy that can’t believe he got this far.' And they

point out that I haven't gotten anywhere yet, so save it for the second album. But I remember sitting on my bed with the dream of just making music the rest of my life. It wasn’t that I had to be on radio or

even make a living doing it. I just loved music. Now I’m on the Opry. I have a record deal. And I’m loving the music that I’m making. I can't believe I got this far!

"I’m probably just going to cut the song."

This is a prime example...the label won't release his potential signature tune.

Michael,

You are so much more committed than I am.

I just go with ...I love what I love and the music industry will spin on it's own orbit, no matter what I do.

That said, the industry is giving great kudos to Mo so I think he's got a good chance.

Hey, nash - I prefer the singing rather than the talking. LOL!

Jo - I hope you are right that Mo has a good chance. Country music needs to step back a little.

I should just listen and enjoy the music...guess it all depends on us...where we want them to go.

I hope this song sends a message on how I feel now>

It's a beautiful song and Travis sings it so very well.

Here's Kris talking about the profound emotional experience he had and how the song came from it.
