‘Good Directions’ Lead to BMI

Capitol recording artist and BMI songwriter Luke Bryan celebrated his first No. 1 recently, with a twist: the tune was co-written by Bryan and recorded by someone else. Luke, whose debut single “All My Friends Say” is currently climbing the charts, partnered with friend Rachel Thibodeau to co-author the homegrown smash “Good Directions” for rising star Billy Currington.

Luke Bryan fielded questions from reporters before the party.
