BBR had it put on hold immediately, accompanied by an enthusiastic email from Loba about it being a likely first single from Lynch’s sophomore album. Crowell mixed it down later, and emailed it to his co-writers three days later with a message that included lots of “$$$.”īarlowe’s publisher, Major Bob Music, definitely thought it had potential to bring in dollars, and vp/GM Mike Doyle pitched it around August to Broken Bow Records executive vp Jon Loba. So good, in fact, that as they recorded the demo that day with Jenkins singing lead, they did the “yep, yep” as a three-person, hip-hop gang vocal. “I probably pitched it in a very unconfident kind of way, but they thought it was good.” “I probably thought it was bad,” he says. Crowell suggested the “yep, yep” part, with reservations. And they felt that it needed to be filled.
