Biography of Mac McAnally
By Josh Ammerman (SHS) (1999) Updated below.
On July 15, 1957 in Red Bay, Alabama, a man named Lyman 'Mac' Corbitt McAnally, Jr., was born. Mac McAnally has contributed much to the world of music, not only as a songwriter but also as a singer. McAnally grew up in Belmont, Mississippi, where his father was one of his high school administrators. This outstanding musician began his musical career at the early age of three, singing while his mother played the piano. After that, his mother had him take piano lessons to extend his apparent musical talents. Mac got a job playing the piano for a state line club in southern Tennessee. Soon thereafter, he started to play the guitar for fun. At the age of fifteen, Mac began his song writing career when wrote the song, 'People Call Me Jesus.'
While in the eleventh grade at his high school in Belmont, Mississippi, McAnally convinced his father to let him have a 'premature graduation.' Since his father was the assistant principal of his high school this was a hard task. However, he was soon able to wear his father down. His father finally allowed him to quit school. He then began playing night clubs around the state (Trammel). Ww real com. When Mac was seventeen, he moved to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and started working in the music recording industry. He signed with Wishbone Production and Publishing Company as a songwriter and artist (Alabama hall.).
Mac had very few influences as a child; but his first record was 'Let it Be' by the Beatles. Mac's music career didn't pick up until producers Terry Woodford and Clayton Ivey heard some of his material. They encouraged him to record some of his music. Mac released the cut 'I Need You Tonight, ' which appeared on a Hank Williams recording. He then released his first solo album, Mac McAnally on Ariola Records in 1977. One of Mac's most famous songs came from that album. The song 'Its a Crazy World' became a hit on the radio and became number two on the adult contemporary charts and made it into the pop top forty chart. It was apparent that Mac was good at music (Trammel). Yu-gi-oh pc game download.
Mac was a hit and was compared to literary figures like William Faulkner and Flannery O' Conner. His songs were what he called 'short stories mashed into a popular song format.' (union county historical…) After the release of his first album, Mac began to tour. He played gigs in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City. A year after the release of his first album, Mac released, 'No Problem Here, ' which was also a superb expression of Mac's talent. Mac was under a lot of pressure to put this album out, so it was kind of rushed. Mac then released, 'Cutting Corners' in 1980. For this album Mac made the big leap from Ariola to MCA records because Ariola was 'going disco'. Mac has released five albums since then, and a new solo album was to be released during the summer of 1999.
Mac has also worked with other artists on several albums, including the Prince of Egypt soundtrack (Mac.McAnally.com). He has more than just his solo singing career under his belt. He has also been a songwriter for many famous people, having written Shenendoah's 'Two Dozen Roses' and Alabama's Old Flame (Highland Vill…). He also works a lot with Jimmy Buffet, and he is currently on tour with him. In fact, Mac will be touring with Jimmy all summer long ('99). He will playing smaller gigs on his nights off. Mac has had a strong musical career so far. With the release of his new album in the summer he shows us that he is not done yet.
In the spring of 1999, McAnally was presented with an award given to him by the Mississippi Arts and Letters Commission.
UPDATE:
McAnally was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and named Country Music Association's Musician of the Year in recent years. In 2010, he was the winner of one of four Mississippi Governor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts. In 2015 and 2016, the internationally- recognized musician has given a concert at Bettersworth Auditorium at Mississippi State to benefit MSU's Department of Music. Mac McAnally, has been named Country Music Association Musician of the Year for eight years in a row.
