Music Row Awards Herald ‘Almost Home’
Music Row magazine announced its 16th annual roll call of awards recently during a jam-packed reception staged at BMI Nashville.
Among the BMI-affiliated winners were "Critics' Pick" Buddy Jewell and "Breakthrough Songwriter" Don Rollins, along with co-writer Jim Brown ("It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere"). BMI writer/artist Craig Morgan collected "Song of the Year" honors for "Almost Home," which he co-wrote with Kerry Kurt Phillips; the award is given to recognize the craft of songwriting, not necessarily chart position.
