All songs on this album were written by Bob Melton. "Whiskey Ain't The Answer" was co-written with Hall Of Fame songwriter Dean Dillon. "The Ring Around Rosie's Finger" was co-written with Leo Taylor. I also post videos of songs I wrote and covers from various live preformances. Some of them do not give correct credit to the writers even on the CD or record. +Reference to false copyright information posted on youtube about one of those songs.+ 
**Below is a link below to the BMI Music Licensing website listing official legal writer credits for the song, "Honky Tonk Man", recorded by Lacey J Dalton on her first album, and by Gary Stewart on RCA. I do not have it posted here, but the person who uploaded the video of "Honky Tonk Man"  to youtube deleted my name from the writer credits in the song description.**
