Kenny Chesney celebrated with the writers of the number one hit “Better As A Memory” on Monday night at the BMI building in Nashville:
Kenny Chesney made a special trip from his tropical island retreat to congratulate his former publicist, Holly Gleason, for her part in writing his recent hit, “Better as a Memory.” The celebration was held Monday (Nov. 24) at the BMI building in Nashville.
Gleason co-wrote the song — her first ever recorded — under the pseudonym “Lady Goodman,” and neither Chesney nor his producer, Buddy Cannon, was aware of Gleason’s role until well after they cut the song.
Sharing the spotlight with Gleason was her co-writer, Travis Hill, who also used a nom de plume, “Scooter Carusoe.” Earlier this month, he won the song of the year award for the composition from SESAC, which, like BMI, is a performance rights organization.
It wasn’t until the Nashville Songwriters Association International listed “Better as a Memory” as one of the organization’s 2008 “Songs I Wish I’d Written” and Gleason came forward to accept the honor that her contribution became public.
“I grew up writing a lot of poetry in the margins of my notebook, ” Gleason told a group of reporters who met with her before the celebration began. Despite this inclination and her work as a music critic, Gleason said she had been reluctant to try her hand at songwriting. “I didn’t want to be one of those people whose ego is bigger than their talent.”
The 2008 American Music Awards were held last night in Los Angeles. Kenny Chesney was nominated for Favorite Male Country Artist, but the award went to Brad Paisley:
“I have always wanted to win an American Music Award. It certainly is a real — ” Paisley said, stopping as he turned his trophy upside down and joking: “Made in China? Anyway, thank you so much for this. God bless you guys.”
The other nominee in the category was Garth Brooks. View all of Kenny’s awards and nominations here.
