Hi Tony,

Actually Lauren Alaina's first release song was written by a friend of mine Greg Hathaway called My Kind of Country. This song was one of several that was on her firstdemo album that he produced for her and promoted her around the GA area for the last few years before she made the "Big Time" I actually reworked and redid some tracks using a Technics Kn7000 and sent it up to Nashville to be studio recorded for a professional demo. This song was recorded in Gregs Studio with her parents there a few years back.

I mentioned this post to Greg about the fame and money involved with these young talents - here is what he said quoted;

To the best of my knowledge it was her first original she recorded. I remember the first time Lauren, her parents and I heard the song played on a Nashville Internet station. We were talking on the phone and all of we're so excited! Wow..... Now all I get is the ignore button.... Forget releasing "My kind of Country".... Yes I am very proud of the song....It's a history lesson about America as well as well as our love for God.

I would just like to understand why Lauren and her family treat someone (who truly believed in her) the way they do! The hurt and pain just continue with nothing to explain why I get treated this way. I've never asked for a thing. I never charged a thing. That's my story of dreams gone wild

So we never know what goes on behind the scenes of stardom.

I am posting a link to the song. Presently it has a slide show along with the vocal of Lauren. She also performed this song opening for Confederate Railway.
