Music

Songs that find their singers — three decades and counting

Odie Blackmon writes country songs in Nashville. His catalogue holds #1 singles for George Strait and Gary Allan, the CMA Single of the Year for Lee Ann Womack, and cuts recorded by Jim Lauderdale, Tracy Lawrence, William Michael Morgan, Striking Matches, and Sarah Darling — with songs on RIAA Platinum albums and on Jim Lauderdale’s Grammy-winning The Bluegrass Diaries.

[Expanded bio — Odie to provide: early years, the road to Nashville, publishing history, how he writes now.]
