It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere

BMI helped songwriter Don Rollins celebrate the success of his first #1 hit, " It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," with a rooftop party and hurricanes a-plenty at BMI Nashville. Other honored revelers included co-writer Jim Brown, publishers Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. and R. Joseph Publishing, and producer Keith Stegall. The CMA Award-nominated song was recorded by Arista artist Alan Jackson with Jimmy Buffett and is featured on Jackson's album Greatest Hits Volume II.
