You are in very good company in my opinion.  By the way, although I’m not a huge country music fan myself, over time “Need You More” has become one of my top 3 favorite songs by you and Ed Robertson also wrote one country song called “For You” which is one of my top 3 favorite BNL songs.  Check it out for inspiration or whatever.  He talked about in a podcast how Ricky Skaggs called him after they performed the song on Letterman and that was a highlight for him.

Regarding episode 2, just like in Star Wars you built on episode 1 but changed up the format which I liked.  As for the comments by Brian and Don, I felt they really hit on some key points that should be helpful in your songwriting.  I’m looking forward to episode 3!
