DOWNTOWN MUSIC PUBLISHING has acquired works from the catalog of accomplished Country songwriter NEIL THRASHER. The deal covers many hits penned by the award-winning writer, including several recorded by JASON ALDEAN — such as “Tattoos On This Town,” “Fly Over States,” “Night Train” and “Rearview Town” — and multiple RASCAL FLATTS singles, including “Fast Cars And Freedom,” “Why Wait” and “Banjo,” as well as RANDY HOUSER’s “How Country Feels,” KENNY CHESNEY’s “There Goes My Life” and many others.
