Mac McAnally On Mountain Stage

Mountain Stage
Mac McAnally.

Mac McAnally makes his third visit to Mountain Stage, recorded live on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown. If you were making a list of key behind-the-scenes figures in Nashville, the singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist would be near the very top.

McAnally won the Country Music Association's Musician Of The Year honor an unprecedented seven consecutive times, and has written hits for a staggering number of mainstream country acts. He keeps a sense of humor about it, too, telling the audience, "I was in my early 30s when I learned that if I write a song that sounds like a hit, maybe I should give that song to one of my friends who has a personal trainer and a bus." His set includes his first No. 1 song, "Back Where I Come From," which was recorded by Kenny Chesney.
