The Song People swarmed and buzzed
at the Renaissance Hotel ballroom Sunday
night (10/18).
All of the major publishers and hundreds
of top-tier writers gathered for the 39th annual
Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame banquet
to salute Kye Fleming, Mark D. Sanders
and the late Tammy Wynette and Bill Hall.
In addition, the NSAI presented its “10 Songs
I Wish I’d Written” awards and gave special
honors to Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, Craig
Wiseman and Wynn Varble.
“This is my favorite event,” said Renee
White during the
cocktail hour. There
are many of us who
share that sentiment.
Making their
entrances were

Herbison and Steve Bogard talked of the organization’s
legislative efforts then doled out plaques to Mac McAnally
(“Down the Road”), Jim Collins & Marty Dodson (“Everybody
Wants to Go to Heaven”), Lee Thomas Miller (“In Color”),
Erin Enderlin & Shane McAnally (“Last Call”), Bobby
Braddock & Troy Jones (“People Are Crazy”), Monty
Holmes & Leslie Satcher (“Troubadour”), Don Sampson
& Wynn Varble (“Waitin’ on a Woman”), Jeffrey Steele &
Steve Robson (“What Hurts the Most”) and Deanna Bryant,
Heidi Newfield & Stephony Smith (“Johnny and June”).
The 10th song was “I Told You So,” penned by the non-attending
Randy Travis. Also absent were “In Color” collaborators Jamey
Johnson and James Otto.
“Waitin’ on a Woman” won Song of the Year. “I’m tickled
to death,” said Varble. “Ain’t nobody writes a song like Wynn
Varble,” said his co-writer Sampson. When he was named
Songwriter of the Year, Varble added, “I’m speechless. I’m
flabbergasted.”
The Artist/Songwriter of the Year award went to super sales
phenomenon Taylor Swift. “The songwriters were my heroes,”
she recalled. “I came to Nashville when I was 14. I was lucky.
I got a songwriting contract when I was in the 8th grade. You
people are the ones who I always wanted to like me.”
This being the last year of the decade, honors were also
given for the 2000-2009 Songwriter of the Decade and Artist/
Songwriter of the Decade. The latter prize went to Toby Keith.
“Songwriters are the lifeblood of this industry,” he said. “I
was a songwriter before I got here. And if I’m not an artist
tomorrow, I’m still a songwriter.” He also thanked attendee
Harold Shedd, “Who opened the first door for me….Most of
all, God bless the songwriters.”
“This is crazy,” said Songwriter of the Decade Craig Wiseman.
“I wrote with I don’t know how many people in this room. I
love this town. This goes out to every one of you guys.”
Following a hearty dinner of beef, carrots, broccolini and
mashed potatoes, Murrah re-took the stage, and this is when
the real entertainment began. Bob McDill presented the Mentor
Award to the late, colorful Bill Hall and told a number of
amusing anecdotes in doing so. McDill was one of a number
of attendees whose life was touched by Hall. Foster & Rice,
Dickey Lee, Allen Reynolds, Jack Clement and Wayland
Holyfield are among the many others. “Bill knew a hit when
he heard one,” said McDill.
“He left us 26 years ago,” said widow Marjorie Hall in
accepting, “and it’s good to know that they still talk about
him on the Row today. Now, that’s a legend.”
Raul Malo scored the first musical homerun of the night
by powerfully performing Tammy Wynette’s ballad “Til I Can
Make it on My Own.” Tammy, via video, sang “Stand By Your
Man,” as only she could. “It doesn’t get any better than that,”
observed Murrah. Singer Georgette Jones was in the crowd,
as were Tammy’s other daughters, Tina, Jackie and Gwen.
“I’m a very fortunate and privileged person to be here this
evening,” said Barbara Mandrell. “What a thrill to see all of
you tonight. Well written songs are treasures to all who hear
them.” She hosted the Kye Fleming portion of the eve.

Eden’s Edge, an acoustic, mandolin-guitar trio, sang a
medley of Fleming hits. Ronnie Milsap performed “I Wouldn’t
Have Missed it for the World” and “Smoky Mountain Rain,”
drawing a standing ovation.
“I didn’t prepare anything to say,” commented Fleming in
accepting. “Mostly because when I thought about it, how do
you put 32 years of having so much fun into words?” She
recalled being discovered by Elvis band member Jerry Scheff
at age 20, being on the Sonny & Cher show, singing in New
York coffeehouses and finally coming to Music City. “It’s such
an honor to be in the same year as Tammy Wynette,” she
added. “When I started, there were not too many women
writers, and I am so happy there are so many wonderful
women writers doing so well. I hope I helped open the door
a little bit.”
Tia Sillers was hilarious introducing the induction of Mark
D. Sanders. Bob DiPiero had plenty of quips, too. Shawn
Camp, Megan Mullins and John Bolinger did a Sanders
medley. Then Lee Ann Womack performed a transcendent
version of “I Hope You Dance.”
“I was lucky to be in the room when a lot of those songs
were written,” said Sanders humbly. “You know the difference
between a large pizza and a songwriter? A large pizza can
actually feed a family of four.” He recalled driving a tourist
bus in his early Nashville days. When Vince Gill came on the
radio singing “Oh Carolina,” he told his passengers, “I wrote
this song!” None of them believed him.
“I’ve written about my life,” he concluded. “Now I get to
help other people write about theirs. That’s what I’m here
for, I think. I am deeply, deeply honored to be part of the
Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.”

Spin Zone by Jon Freeman
No change at the top of the CountryBreakout™ Chart this
week, as Keith Urban’s “Only You Can Love Me This Way”
maintains a firm hold on the No. 1 spot. The folks at Capitol
must be pleased. Other than Love and Theft’s “Runaway,”
which is currently No. 3, all the remaining spots in the Top 5
belong to their artists: Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now”
(No. 2), Luke Bryan’s “Do I” (No. 4), and Trace Adkins’
“All I Ask For Anymore” (No. 5). And yet another Capitol
hotshot, Dierks Bentley, is just a few steps behind at No. 7
with “I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes.”
Congratulations to Whitney Duncan and her Warner
Bros. team on scoring the singer’s first Top 20 single. “Skinny

Dippin’” gets a massive 459 spin gain in this chart cycle and
shoots to the No. 17 spot. Also joining her in the Top 20 with
their current singles are Tim McGraw at No. 18 (“Southern
Voice”), Sarah Buxton at No. 19 (“Outside My Window”),
and David Nail at No. 20 (“Red Light”).
A whole assortment of new singles are making first
appearances on the chart. The biggest of the lot is Eric
Church’s “Hell On the Heart,” making a splashy debut at
No. 47. A little further down there’s Toby Keith’s “Cryin’
For Me (Wayman’s Song)” at No. 62, Jack Ingram
featuring Patty Griffin on “Seeing Stars” at No. 63, Bucky
Covington’s “Gotta Be Somebody” at No. 65, Big Kenny’s
“Long After I’m Gone” at No. 68, Bomshel’s “19 & Crazy”
at No. 69, and Hannah McNeil’s “What Am I Getting Up
For” at No. 71.
Reporter Comments“Billy Joe Royal’s ‘Hard Rock to Roll’ is pulling top five
phones,” says Dr. Bruce of KFTX/Corpus Christi.
“The hottest song going here is Whitney Duncan’s
‘Skinny Dippin’’! It’s my most requested,” says Russ Ocker
of KMGO. “Also the new one from Matt Kennon, ‘The Call,’
keeps my phone buzzing!”
“Even with the first snowfall this week listeners are holding
on to summer with Whitney Duncan’s ‘Skinny Dippin'’’ our
most requested song of the week!” says Scott Soderberg
of KAUS. “Cody McCarver’s ‘White Trash With Money’ and
Brooks & Dunn’s ‘Honky Tonk Stomp’ round out the top
three.”
“We started playing ‘The Call’ by Matt Kennon and after
one spin we got calls and e-mails,” says Shelly Marx of
WWBE. “Joe Nichols’ ‘Gimmie That Girl’ has been very
popular too lately.”

Keith Urban"Only You Can LoveMe This Way"Capitol Nashville
Keith Urban’s “Only You Can Love Me This
Way” is the CountryBreakout™ No. 1
song for a second straight week, owing
to the full support of the panel and a
gain of 77 spins. Urban was also just announced among the performers
at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards, where he is nominated for five awards:
Entertainer of the Year, Album (Defying Gravity), Male Vocalist,
Video and Musical Event (for his work with Brad Paisley on “Start A
Band”). As if this wasn’t enough to keep him completely consumed,
Urban also hosted a once-in-a-lifetime benefit called We’re All For
the Hall to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum last
Tuesday (Oct. 13). The Aussie was joined by friends including Vince
Gill, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Jason
Aldean, and Little Big Town for an unforgettable night of music.

Eric Church"Hell On The Heart"Capitol Nashville
Eric Church has long been a critics’
favorite, but he’s starting to become
quite the accomplished hitmaker as
well. Following his Top 10 hit “Love
Your Love the Most,” he’s made a quick
return to the CountryBreakout™ Chart
with new single “Hell On The Heart.” The new release earns our
biggest debut at No. 47, boosted by a gain of 538 spins—the week’s
largest—and with plenty of momentum to boot. Church’s sophomore
album Carolina debuted earlier this year at No. 4 on the Billboard
Hot Country Albums chart and No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200. He
is currently out on his popular Young & Wild(er) Tour 2009 through
early November, and just made his first appearance on Jimmy
Kimmel Live last Friday (Oct. 16).
