Joe Nichols Nominated Twice for American Country Awards' Single "Gimmie That Girl"

12.06.10
Joe Nichols is -- pardon the cliché -- just honored to be nominated. The singer is up for the American Country Awards' Single of the Year and Single of the Year: Male for his hit, 'Gimme That Girl.' "It feels great because it's fan-voted," Joe tells The Boot, noting the ACA winners are determined solely by fans' online votes. "It's really hard to argue with 'Gimme That Girl' being one of the top singles of the year. I'm so excited for [songwriters] Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip. Those guys are writing a lot of great music. It's really cool the song gets the recognition that it deserves, and I thought it had a shot at the CMAs for getting a nomination for that. I was a little disappointed that it didn't get nominated, but I understood all the other songs that were nominated were, of course, hard to argue with. When I got nominated for single at the ACAs, it's a huge honor. Those fan-voted things are always tremendously much more appreciated and meaningful to an artist, or to a songwriter or record producer. There's a certain place that touches in your heart. It means that you've reached the masses and they've responded, rather than you've accomplished something internally in the industry. At the end of the day that's what we're all supposed to be doing."

GAC News and Notes: Rhett Akins and Dallas Davidson Pop Out Hunting Album

11.22.10

As two of the three members of the Peach Pickers, Rhett Akins and Dallas Davidson are a big part of the hottest songwriting team in country music right now.

The two are also part of an album that should have every turkey in sight shuddering this Thanksgiving season. Rhett and Dallas recorded a hunting-themed project, Michael Waddell’s Bone Collector: The Brotherhood Album, to… uhm… target the field-and-stream community.

Rhett established a name for himself as an artist during the 1990s with his hits “That Ain’t My Truck” and “Don’t Get Me Started,” but he’s shifted quite successfully into a songwriting career that has him mostly teamed with Dallas and Ben Hayslip. Known on Music Row as the Peach Pickers for their Georgian roots, they’ve written Blake Shelton’s “All About Tonight,” Joe Nichols’ “Gimmie That Girl” and Josh Turner’s “All Over Me.”
