Dillon’s songwriting has thrived. He has recently written songs for famous
faces like Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith and Lee Ann Womack. Ina genre built
on great songwriters writing for great singers, there has never been another
team like it between him and George Strait. Dillon has composed or
co-written 76 songs for Strait, including 19 singles, 11 which went to
number 1. Even in a career like Strait’s, the Dillon titles stand out:
“Marina del Rey,” “The Chair,” “I’ve Come to Expect it From You,” “Easy Come,
Easy Go,” “She Let Herself Go,” and “The Best Day.” His songs all pair instantly
catchy melodies with gutbucket country lyrics, signature qualities of a Dillon
composition that would also become hallmarks of Strait’s own style and sound.
