Phil Barton: A Woman Like You (Lee Brice), Thomas the Train & many more!

I was in the room when he got his first #1 award and I'll never forget it. In this episode I have the privilege of sharing the story behind the songs written by Phil Barton. Phil came to Nashville from Australia where he already has some major success with a children's band called "Glower Pot Gang" that has sold over 400,000 records. He's done almost 90 kids records including some huge success for things like Bob the Builder and Thomas the Train. Once he moved to Nashville Phil was known to write two songs pretty much every day and I don't know that I ever saw anyone work harder for it than he did. He'd write a couple songs a day and then go play shows at night - pretty much every night. His first #1 was a song called "A Woman Like You" that he wrote with Jon Stone and Johnny Bulford for Lee Brice. It was all of their first #1's together and that day at the ceremony was a blast. He's going to talk about that song along with everything else he's had happen after that. I have known Phil for years and he's just a great writer, hard worker and genuinely a great guy.
