  • During the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, Mac Davis performed some new music for attentive fans. Everyone in the room was thrilled to hear Mac play his original music that they've heard for most of their lives, but they were surprised when Mac said he had something new for them.
    Mac played alongside Mike Loudermilk in a full "Main Room" of the Bama on Saturday, Nov. 9th for the 35th Annual Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival.
    Mac has established himself as an all-around entertainer: songwriter, countrypolitan-style singer, film and stage actor, TV and radio personality and performer. In the late sixties, Davis's songwriting talent paid off: he wrote several hits for Elvis Presley, including "In the Ghetto," "Memories," and "Don't Cry Daddy." His 1968 breakout smash for Presley, "A Little Less Conversation," became popular again after appearing in the 2001 film Ocean's 11. Hits that Davis wrote and recorded himself include the GRAMMY-nominated "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me," "My Bestest Friend," "It's Hard to be Humble," and "Texas in my Rearview Mirror."
    Besides Presley, Davis has written for Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Bobby Goldsboro, Gallery, O.C. Smith, Freddie Hart, Ray Price and Lou Rawls. Rascal Flatts covered “Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me” on their 2004 album Feels Like Today. In 2010, Davis paired up with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo to write "Time Flies," and in 2013 penned “Addicted to You” for Avicii's debut studio album True.
    In 2015 he won a BMI Pop Award as a co-writer for Bruno Mars's single "Young Girls." Some of Davis’s earliest honors included the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year Award in 1974 and the inaugural People's Choice Award for Favorite Male Singer in 1975. Besides the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Davis has also been inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, The Texas Heritage Songwriters' Association, The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and named a 2015 BMI Icon at 63rd Annual Country Awards.
