Trick Pony Rides Into BMI Nashville On New Album

Posted in News on March 13, 2001

Debuting Warner Bros. trio Trick Pony treated BMI Nashville to special performance in the writer/publisher lobby, previewing songs from their self-titled album. Keith Burns (guitar), Ira Dean (bass) and Heidi Newfield (harmonica) sang their Top 20-and-rising single "Pour Me," plus "Just What I Do" and the Johnny Cash classic "Big River" (their heroes Cash and Waylon Jennings provided guest vocals on the record). Burns, Dean and Newfield, each of whom has a co-publishing deal with Warner/Chappel Music, penned eight tunes on the new album. "Pour Me," the first song the three wrote together, caught the ear of producer Chuck Howard, who brought them to Warner Bros; the album was released March 13 on Howard's imprint, H2E. Other songwriters contributing to the project are Karen Staley, George Teren, and Lewis Anderson.
