Mark Wright

As a songwriter, he has won 12 BMI Awards (seven of them Million-Airs) including Mark Chesnutt’s “Goin’ Through The Big D,” the Oak Ridge Boys’ “Lucky Moon,” and “Today My World Slipped Away,” cut by both George Strait and Vern Gosdin. As a producer, he’s shaped hit records for artists including Chesnutt, Brooks & Dunn, Gretchen Wilson, Trisha Yearwood, Gary Allan, Montgomery Gentry, Joe Nichols and Rhett Akins.
One of his greatest accomplishments is Lee Ann Womack’s dazzling hit “I Hope You Dance,” which earned the 2000 CMA Single of the Year honor, a Grammy nomination and the 2001 BMI Country Song of the Year trophy.
Wright is currently President of Universal Records South.

thanx robin. Which album did he produce this year though? I had assumed he produced an album that was up for album of the year....but maybe I am wrong?

[MustLuvCarrie100]

No, I think yer right^

[carriefan0825]

at first i thought it was a typo!

[robinannhunt]

I can't find out what video he produced. I wonder if the award has to do with producing CD's as well as video?

[teesharky]

^ I had assumed it was for producing an album--- not a video- but I have no clue. Cary may know. lol
