Ronnie Dunn and BMI Celebrate 25 Years of Hits
BMI proudly honored the Ronnie Dunn during an August 4 celebration at the organization’s Music Row offices. Since arriving in Nashville back in 1988, the Oklahoma native has become one of country music’s most successful songwriters, amassing a catalog that includes standards he wrote exclusively like “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Neon Moon,” and “She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind,” as well as hits with big name co-writers such as “Red Dirt Road” (Kix Brooks), “That Ain’t No Way to Go” (Kix Brooks and Don Cook), “Believe” (Craig Wiseman), and many more that have altogether garnered an astounding 60 million performances. Dunn’s friends, colleagues, and associates were all on hand to celebrate this career milestone as Dunn now rises to the top-tier of BMI troubadours with Merle Haggard, the Bee Gees, and Gamble & Huff.
