His latest BMI Million-Air Award recognizes more than one million performances of Chris Young’s “The Man I Want to Be,” ensuring that his entire award-winning songwriting catalog has now accumulated more than 30 million performances. The 2005 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year is the pen behind contemporary standards including Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying,” Alan Jackson’s “That’d Be All Right,” Jo Dee Messina’s “Head’s Carolina, Tails California,” and Trace Adkins’ “This Ain’t No Thinkin’ Thing.” Pictured are BMI’s Clay Bradley, Tim Nichols, This Music’s Rusty Gaston and Connie Harrington, and BMI’s Bradley Collins.
