Mac McAnally Records First Live Record "Live in Muscle Shoals" To Be Released October 11
Grammy nominated, award-winning, prolific hit songwriter, singer, musician and producer Mac McAnally will release his first live recording Live in Muscle Shoals on October 11th on Mailboat Records.

Recorded live from the Norton Auditorium at the University of North Alabama during the W.C. Handy Music Festival, Mac put together an incredible band of musicians consisting of fellow Coral Reefers (Mac is a member of Buffett’s band) and Muscle Shoals/Nashville session friends in which they captivated the audience.

“Last summer the fine folks in charge of the W.C. Handy Music Festival asked me to play a show that ran the gamut of everything I’ve done,” Mac said. “In live performance you don’t have to look far for imperfections. I look at the imperfections as blessings too,” he added. “W.C. Handy made a career out of mixing influences from his surroundings and expressing them musically. I share that aspiration and hope to merit having shared the bill with his legacy on July 31, 2010 in his hometown of Florence, Alabama,” he added.

The CD includes his hits “Back Where I Come,” (Kenny Chesney), “All These Years” (Sawyer Brown), and “Down the Road,” (Kenny Chesney), as well as a cover of the ‘60s hit “I Heard It through the Grapevine.” A master storyteller, Mac set up each song with an anecdote and those bites of observation and humor which are included on the disc.

As reigning three time winner, Mac is once again nominated for a CMA Award for Musician of the Year; the awards will be handed out November 9th on ABC-TV.

most excellent and I will definitely buy one. I wonder if he will have them at MOTM??

[dnw]

Probably.

[Tiki Bar]

Can't wait! Love the stories that he tells! Love his rich voice. Love his music.

On a related note, I still say it would be fascinating to have a cd of just stories... Jimmy, Mac, Mr Utley, Jim, Peter, Ralph, Robert G, Nadirah, Tina, Doyle, Roger, John... oldies like Fingers, TC, Amy, and beyond... just sitting around shooting the sh!t.

That's my favorite part of so many of them making themselves accessible with their own shows and meet n greets... they all have so many interesting, compelling, and heartwarming stories that they share.
