Song Critique & Career Coaching From Norwood Fisher of Fishbone

Norwood Fisher is the bass player for the funk/punk/rock/ska/metal/soul band Fishbone. Fisher has played bass in the band throughout its history, even as other members have come, gone, and returned.

Artists will always have to pay their dues.  It's just part of the process, but they should not have to learn all the same lessons as those who went before them. The road to success can be shortened by getting insight and advice from people who have been doing it for years.  Norwood Fisher is one of those people.

Norwood will listen to everything submitted to him on Music Xray and will provide honest, no-nonsense feedback on your songs and offer advice on where you might consider taking the song, both professionally and creatively.

Label Roster Consideration for Acoustic Purists

Acoustic Forest Records is for acoustic music purists. They promote pure and unadulterated acoustic music, an all natural, nature-made music with pure taste.

If you fit into our Mission please submit your song for consideration.

Acoustic Forest Mission

To carry forward the acoustic music flag. To promote pure and unadulterated acoustic music at its zenith. To promote an all natural, nature-made music with pure taste.

No matter what the genre, acoustic music, as created with wood and steel, is here to stay. Here at Acoustic Forest, we believe acoustic string instruments are the ultimate medium for recording ... in too many ways to count.

1. Have you ever sat and just listened to the sounds of nature in its natural pristine state. The textured sounds are endless and multi-layered. W.C. Handy wrote in his autobiography that nature inspired him to play. It was the sound of nature in his hometown of Florence, Alabama, that he tried to recreate through his horn. He is considered today the "Father of the Blues".

2. I've always believed everything tastes better if it's eaten as close to nature as possible. Well, this truism also applies to music: the closer an instrument is to nature and its natural tones, the richer the harmonic range and the more pleasant to the ears the music becomes.

3. What is harmonious in nature is harmonious to us. It seems that the more synthetic and the more distant something is from nature, the more dissonant it becomes.

4. Acoustic music is timeless. The medium itself becomes the message. The genres that come and go seem to have very little to do with the medium. The acoustic medium has withstood itself for thousands of years in spite of what's been dictated as fashionable.
