I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a jazz fan who was fortunate to work for the
Verve Music Group for a few years back in the 90's. We released some unbelievable music from amazing artists including jazz guitarists like
Wes Montgomery,
George Benson,
John Scofield, and
Kurt Rosenwinkel.
I now work for
RightsFlow, a licensing and royalty service provider representing artists, labels, distributors and online music companies. We help our clients to license, account and pay songwriters and publishers. We're also a company made up of musicians dedicated to creating simple services for other musicians.
To that end, I also wanted to share that we have an online mechanical license clearance form called
Limelight that makes it easy to clear any cover song. It's a simple way for any guitarist or band to obtain the license for ANY cover song legally and to ensure that 100% of royalties due are paid.
A current favorite guitarist to check out is
Cameron Mizell. Cameron is amazing (plus he helps run a website for working musicians called
Musician Wages.) Who is your recommendation?
Since we help artists cover any song they want for their release, I thought I'd also ask what is YOUR favorite cover song?
Would love to hear from the community.
