Marc,
With all due respect, I think you have been living among the "Suits" way too long. I think the "Suits" have been living with the other "Suits" way too long. Who was it, Waylon or Willie that found a good thing down in Texas where real music was being appreciated. And then, if I'm not mistaken, recorded the first Vinyl album to sell a million copies.

All, if not most of the stuff I hear on the radio is a big production with lots of chorus included to make it sound really good but most of it is pretty ordinary. Not sure how well most of it is selling but I bet not much.
Throwing money at a project will not make it better, believe me. I have already heard all the good stuff from the early 50's to today. You need to get out of "Dodge" and get re-aquainted with "Real" music, like Willie and Waylon.
