Mississippi-born singer-songwriter veteran, Mac McAnally is a diverse and
richly creative talent. Over three decades of music-making, the noted
producer, session player, band member, comic, and story teller has
written some of country music's biggest hits (Alabama�s "Old Flame,"
"Cafe On The Corner" for Sawyer Brown and Ricky Van Shelton�s hit,
"Crime Of Passion"), played guitar for artists from Roy Orbison and Hank
Williams Jr. to Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and enjoyed a
long standing artistic association with Jimmy Buffett, as cowriters and as a
member of Jimmy's Coral Reefer Band.
Tonight's show is probably pretty
well summed up by Mac's latest album title, Semi-True Stories.
With an incisive pen and a smoky voice, he mixes humor with his own
brand of truth in original country, rock, jazz, and gospel-tinged songs
about the South and the realities of the world. As Mac himself says, "My
shows are roughly 40% storytelling and 60% music . . . Southern culture at
its finest."
