Here are few of the good country song songwriters that happen to also be performers:

1. Jakob Dylan: He's a songwriter who takes into account mostly the meaning of a song, a songwriter who does not take himself too seriously. In his newest project "Women and Country," Dylans realist's perspective shows through. He has come across a means to put into song just what he wanted to convey.

2. Liz Anderson ... Liz had an early success in the 1960's as a songwriter in California. The moment they relocated to Sacramento, hardly any country stations were around, and thus she was not hearing fresh tunes. She then initiated composing as well as performing herself. She had penned breakthrough hits for country performers and also recorded her songs about infamous females and faithless guys. Best known as the writer of songs for other music artists, she likewise had her own seven top 40 country hits.

3. Dierks Bentley: He started composing tunes with Beavers for music they genuinely wanted and it has been a productive partnership. Beavers produced Bentleys biggest hits: "What Was I Thinkin'," "Come A Little Closer," "Feel that Fire" as well as others. Songwriting for Bentley is a huge element of his music. He's got in his name, eight number one hits and this kind of method has worked for him. Just recently, he co-wrote melodies which resulted to two #1 country hits: "Sideways" and "Am I the Only One." During his youthful days, he was in fact a fan of rock but everything evolved when his friend introduced him to Hank Williams, Jr. Then he began heading to country concert events, and has never looked back.

4. Darrell Scott ... A singer-songwriter, Darrel has recorded many of his tracks by himself. He began his professional career recording his own work. His songs are much of a country style. In 2001, he was named "Songwriter of the Year" by Nashville Songwriters Association International.

5. Miranda Lambert: A Texas native, Lambert recently launched her fourth record "Four the Record" at which she wrote or co-wrote 6 songs in the album. Her very first album "Hell on Heels" features 8 songs out of ten that songs she had written or co-written. She was inspired to write songs in her new solo project as well as on the Pistol Annie's debut, Billboards' top country album a couple of months in the past. The very first Grammy Award she received was with her song "The House That Built Me".
