Episode 11: James Michael
For our eleventh episode, we kick the dial up to eleven! Tony and Jim are joined in studio by Producer/Songwriter/Rock Star extrordinaire James Michael to run down the HomeGrown Hits Top Ten. James brings his songwriting and production sensibilities to bear on our charts, giving a short commentary on each song. He drives home the point that songwriting and song structure should always trump production quality when crafting and recording a tune. James Michael is the producer, songwriter, and mixer of many chart-topping rock and pop hits of the past decade. He is a founding member (along with Nikki Sixx) and lead vocalist of Sixx:AM. The band's debut album, which James produced, contained the No. 1 Billboard rock track of 2008, "Life is Beautiful". He produced and co-wrote Mötley Crüe's last studio album, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums. He has written for and produced artists such as Papa Roach, Alanis Morissette, James Durbin, Hinder, and Kelly Clarkson. James spoke to us just prior to heading out on tour to promote the latest Sixx:AM album, "Modern Vintage". [Recorded 6 January 2015]

Episode #9: British Invasion
Appropriately for Episode "Number Nine," the top of the Charts has four great songs by British bands, leading to the #1 song "Giving Up" by Joe Lamb. In this episode Tony and Jim outlaw the word "amazing", and still manage to properly praise the Top Ten songs on HomeGrownHits.com. [Recorded November 26, 2013]

Tony and Jim count down the Top Ten songs on the site, ending with #1: "Another Song" by This Must Be Thursday. [Recorded June 18, 2013]

Episode 7: Sonic Surgery with Joe Solo
Tony and Jim pick the brain of producer, songwriter, composer, and music industry veteran Joe Solo. We explore the vast expanse of Joe's experience producing both major label and independent artists. Joe helps us count down the Top Ten songs on the HomeGrownHits.com charts, commenting sagely on quite a few of them. We build to a finish at new Number One song "You And I for Now", by Renee Winter. [Recorded May 2, 2013] Joe Solo discovered recording artist Macy Gray, and has worked with Michael Jackson, Shinedown, and Fergie. His songs have played on One Tree Hill, The OC, Major League Baseball, Dancing with the Stars, and many other TV programs. One of Joe's major current projects is his Music Success Workshop series.
