Songwriter Dallas Davidson had an explosive 2010. He was a co-writer on five singles to hit the top of the charts last year, including “That’s How Country Boys Roll” (Billy Currington), “Gimmie That Girl” (Joe Nichols), “Rain is a Good Thing” (Luke Bryan), “All About Tonight” (Blake Shelton), and “All Over Me” (Josh Turner). All of this success added up to Davidson being named Billboard‘s Country Songwriter of the Year.
To celebrate the serial hitmaker, BMI and EMI Music Publishing co-hosted a dinner on January 27 in Nashville and awarded him a plaque marking the occasion.
