Worth the Wait: BMI Toasts ‘If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away’ Team
CMA’s headquarters on Music Row was the ideal host venue as BMI honored the team behind Valory Recording artist Justin Moore’s no. 1, “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away.” Co-written by Dallas Davidson, Rob Hatch and Brett Jones, the song was originally given to producer Jeremy Stover more than five years ago as a demo. In late 2009, as Moore wrapped up recording his second album, Outlaws Like Me, Stover recommended he use the song as the lead single, proving once again that thankfully, great songs have a habit of sticking—and old demos are worth saving.
