Frank J Myers is from Dayton, Ohio. He moved to Nashville in 1981. Frank got his start in Nashville as band leader, road manager and lead guitarist for Eddy Raven in 1981 and worked with Eddy for 9 years. It was with Eddy that Frank started writing, playing and co-producing sessions. They had 2 number ones, 5 number twos and 3 top tens—songs such as I Got Mexico, Bayou Boys, You Should’ve Been Gone By Now, Sometimes A Lady and many others.
It was in 1982, though, that Frank had his first single (a song he wrote by himself) with You and I for Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle, which stayed number one for four weeks on the Country chart, number two for six weeks on the AC chart, and number six for four weeks on the Pop chart.
It was during his time with Eddy Raven that Frank met Gary Baker. They had their first number one together in 1993 with Once Upon A Lifetime by Alabama. Gary and Frank recorded one album for MCG/Curb Records as Baker & Myers and were 3-time nominees for Duo Of The Year at the ACMs and CMAs.
Their greatest accomplishment as writers together came when John Michael Montgomery recorded I Swear, which was number one for 4 weeks on the Country charts. The song was then recorded by All-4-One and went to number one on the Pop charts and stayed there for 11 weeks. Since then, I Swear has won these awards:
Frank also co-wrote I’m Already There, the 7-week number one smash by Lonestar, which was nominated for a Grammy and CMA Song and Single Of The Year. The song also went to number two on the AC chart. It was also named American Songwriter Magazine’s Country Song of the Year, and Frank was voted Country Songwriter of the Year along with Gary Baker and Richie McDonald.
His single My Front Porch Looking In by Lonestar is the first record in R&R history to go to #1, fall to #2 for six weeks, and return to #1. His latest #1 was Tomorrow by Chris Young, which was also nominated for ACM Single of the Year. Frank has had songs recorded by over 50 Country and Pop artists. He’s had 12 number ones, 20 top tens, and was a 2021 Nashville Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame Nominee.
Frank’s artist co-writes and productions include Kenny Loggins, Richie McDonald, Lonestar, Vince Gill, Billy Ray Cyrus, All-4-One, Pam Tillis, The Gatlins, Andy Griggs, Eddy Raven, John Rich, Dave Fenley, Angie Keilhauer, and many others.
Frank’s latest production projects include Soul Circus Cowboys, Love Lives On (the various artists project to benefit T.A.P.S.—Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), and ONE (Pat Boone and various artist project for clean water in Tanzania), coming out April 2005.
His latest releases, God’s Got This and If Every Day Could Be Christmas, were both written, produced, and recorded by Frank.
