Cowboy Take Me Away

Marcus Hummon and Martie Seidel of the Dixie Chicks celebrated another #1 songwriting collaboration - "Cowboy Take Me Away" -- at a party at BMI's Music Row offices.

Both songs were published by Careers-BMG Music Publishing, Floyd's Dream Music and Woolly Puddin' Music.

Seidel and her sister/fellow Chick Emily Robison were also honored for writing a hit from the group's debut album, Wide Open Spaces: the #1 "You Were Mine."
