10 Most Unlucky Songwriters in Nashville.
Behind every number-one country song is a songwriter. And behind some of the greatest songs ever written is a story of bad deals, stolen credit, missed royalties, bad timing, and an industry that has always been better at making stars than protecting the people who made the stars possible. In this episode of Backroad Trail, we count down ten of the most unlucky songwriters in Nashville history -- the people who wrote the songs that built careers for other people while their own names faded into the background. Every story is real. Every injustice is documented.
