Acoustic/Electric Foot stomping country/rock blues with a good dose of a few chords and the truth.
Stacy Puckett was raised in a small town in southwestern Virginia. Over the last 15 years he has lived and gigged regularly from coast to coast. His music fuses strong appalachian folk and delta blues influences into a mix of contemporary folk, rock, punk and country blues. Musically he has pursued the singer/songwriter path early, and more recently adopted and embraced the "One Man Band" as a true Americana artform unto itself. Currently he is embracing a more 'primal' approach to music, using on the fly live recording techniques using vintage and affordable (usually free) equipment. He is equally at home playing country, Dylan, bluegrass, delta blues or straight ahead rock, and much of his original material reflects this. His newer recordings feature his handmade Cigar Box Guitars, homemade "stompboards" and other primitive instruments. They have become his sonic pallette of choice to help take his music where he envisions it now. "I feel the public is really over saturated with perfect music. Programmed drumbeats, looped guitar riffs, and sterile midi sequences have white washed much of today's popular music down to the point where there's no emotion left. I think people want to hear mistakes again. People want to hear genuine music again, and good songs." - Stacy Puckett

Story behind the song
I used to frequent the writers nights in Nashville. It was a lot of fun. The stereotypes and warnings I overheard from some of the more serious writers spawned a tongue in cheek little song about the scene.
Lyrics
Get all your ducks in a row Then go and play a show And a man with wads of cash will sign you Just before you leave Show up downtown Monday And sing into a can Then hit the road with all your friends, yeah That's the Nashville Plan (chorus) But don't show up without your CD Don't show up without your hat Get your image right for TV You know the camera makes you fat oh and thieves will man the tables with notebooks in their handsw to steal away your heart and soul 'cause Thats the Nashville Plan A Single song I hear Can buy a lot of beer Hell you can live off royalties As long as you will live While you collect gold records And set them in a stand It seems a real fine life to me oh It's the Nashville Plan (chorus)
