From Mac McAnally’s MySpace blog: SHOW DOG RELEASES NEW MAC McANALLY SINGLE McAnally’s “You First” Follows No. 1 Smash “Down The Road”
Mac McAnally has worn many hats in his storied career – producer, vocalist, guitar ace, chart-topping songwriter, member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer band – and his recording artist cap received a rather nice feather with last month’s No. 1 “Down The Road.” Now, McAnally and his new label Show Dog Nashville look to build on that Country radio success with the release of “You First.”
A poignant series of vignettes about brotherly love in its various forms, [b]”You First” ships to radio this week. The song is the first release from McAnally’s upcoming Show Dog debut album.[/b]
The single follows the successful run enjoyed by “Down The Road,” a song penned by McAnally and recorded by Kenny Chesney, who invited the acclaimed music maker to sing on the track with him. Its ascension gave McAnally his sixth No. 1 as a writer and his first as a recording artist, and led to an ACM Vocal Event of the Year nod for the collaboration. The CBS telecast airs April 5 from Las Vegas.
