Jay Knowles had this idea. I almost fell out of my chair. I couldn’t believe how different it was, but still accessible to everyone who ever fell in love.

[audio:Friends_Anymore.mp3]
Bourke-Knowles
song_bg_top

I’ve had the good fortune to write with Jay Knowles (think “She’ll Leave You With A Smile,” George Strait). A totally original, fun person to work with at all times.

[audio:Walk_Away.mp3]
Bourke-Knowles
song_bg_top

This is one of my favorite songs that I’ve written with my very talented Texas friend.

[audio:Memory_Road.mp3]
Bourke-Smith
song_bg_top

Years ago Rand Bishop asked if I’d write with his friend David Shields. I’ve been grateful ever since. This song expresses everything a first time father feels.

[audio:Change_a_Man.mp3]
Bourke-Shields
song_bg_top

I love working with Robin and Brent.

[audio:In_the_Middle_of.mp3]
Bourke-Baxter-Welty
song_bg_top

One of my absolute favorites of the songs I wrote with Lisa and Jamie.

[audio:Were_Closed.mp3]
Bourke-Chamberlain-Ferrugia
song_bg_top

Another Jamie and Brandy song. Brandy could sing the phone book, and I’d buy it.

[audio:Some_of_That.mp3]
Bourke-Ferrugia-Clark
song_bg_top

Jamie and Lisa asked me to help finish and improve this song when it was more than half done. Their title was a hit by itself.

[audio:Coming_Up_Empty.mp3]
Bourke-Ferrugia-Chamberlain
song_bg_top

This is a cool song.

[audio:Where_Do_You_Get_Off.mp3]
Bourke-Ferrugia-Wold
song_bg_top

We wrote this to show that real professional hit songwriters are really capable. We had the most fun in 10 years and laughed until we hurt!

[audio:Black_Beans_and_Rice.mp3]
Bourke-Black-Rouillier
song_bg_top

Irene already had this title; she and JP let me in on it. JP is a fantastic talent, and Irene is totally creative. That’s JP and Irene singing.

[audio:Shes_The_Town_Hes_The_Train.mp3]
Bourke-Williams-Williams
song_bg_top

Like most of the songs I’ve written with Paul and Sonny – this is pretty damn good.

[audio:Im_Still_Kissing_You.mp3]
Bourke-LeMaire-Jefferson
song_bg_top

When Joshua started singing this, I just tried to hang on. What a talent, what a voice….to say nothing of one of my writing and singing heroes, Sonny LeMaire.

[audio:Delta_Blue.mp3]
Bourke-Ragsdale-Lemaire
song_bg_top

Fun song with fun people.

[audio:Lookin_At_Me_This_Way.mp3]
Bourke-Clark-Ferrugia
song_bg_top

This song is my daughters’ (Leslie, my website creator, Allyson, and Kelley) favorite song. Wayland is a great writer and an astounding singer.

[audio:Only_a_Dream.mp3]
Bourke-Patton
song_bg_top

Another family favorite.

[audio:Hey_Juanita.mp3]
Bourke-LeMaire-Mills
song_bg_top

This song was a lot of fun.

[audio:Here_Is_Where_You_Are.mp3]
Bourke-Clark-Ferrugia
song_bg_top

It took us a few times to get this one right. Jamie came up with the Reno verse. Richard wrote a great melody. It all fit perfectly.

[audio:Youd_Get_To_Me.mp3]
Bourke-Ferrugia-Mitchell
song_bg_top

We wrote this song partly together and partly on Skype.

[audio:I_Wanna_Get_Close_To_You.mp3]
Bourke-Williams-Ferrugia
song_bg_top

Another cool Granger song.

[audio:Leavin_Look_Good.mp3]
Bourke-Smith
song_bg_top

I wrote this with the great Fred Knobloch. A fun write.

[audio:Room_At_The_Bottom.mp3]
Bourke-Knobloch
song_bg_top

A while back Clay Mills, Sonny LeMaire, and I took a lunch break, and someone suggested this idea. We had it.

[audio:Memphis_When_You_Get_The_Blues.mp3]
Bourke-LeMaire-Mills
song_bg_top

Jamie, JP, and I started this in Nashville but finished a good deal of it on Skype. First time I’d ever done that. Jamie’s great no matter where.

[audio:I_Wanna_Get_Close_To_You.mp3]
Bourke-Williams-Ferrugia
song_bg_top

I think I came in on this one a little late. We wrote on it several times to get it great. They had a great idea going.

[audio:Watch_It_Fall.mp3]
Bourke-Ferrugia-Chamberlain
song_bg_top

Tim showed up at my house one morning with this idea. Glad I went to work that day. Tim is a writer, singer, painter, and sculptor. You name it, he can do it.

[audio:Backroads.mp3]
Bourke-Rouieller

Matt is a great singer and writer. He let me in on this one.

[audio:Heaven_Knows.mp3]

Just a great write. Robin and Brent are very talented writers.

[audio:Crank_The_Hank.mp3]
Bourke-Welty-Baxter
song_bg_top

As I remember, Bill and Jamie had an idea already started, and it morphed into this cool song.

[audio:I_Get_It_Now.mp3]
Bourke-Tenneyson-Ferrugia

First song I wrote with Jamie and Brandy. After that we each found our place to write in a 3-way.

[audio:I_Wish_You_Were_Him.mp3]
Bourke-Ferrugia-Clark
song_bg_top

Jamie and I wrote a bunch of aongs with a great talent, Brandy Clark. This is one of them. I love it.
