BMI Honors ‘Real Good Man’

Everyone had a "real good" time at BMI Nashville celebrating Tim McGraw's 21st #1 single, "Real Good Man," written by BMI writer George Teren with Rivers Rutherford. The song is featured on McGraw's platinum Curb album Tim McGraw and The Dancehall Doctors. The song's publishers, Teren It Up Music and Zomba/Careers-BMG Music Publishing Inc., were honored at the party, along with producers Byron Gallimore and Darran Smith. Teren's catalog also includes the Million-Air- and BMI Award-winning songs "Busy Man" (Billy Ray Cyrus), "Running Out Of Reasons To Run" (Rick Trevino), and "She's Sure Taking It Well" (Kevin Sharp).
