    "It's a crazy world, but I live here...and if you can hear me singin', so do you...and I'm turnin' out my nightlight feelin' satisfied...that there's nothin' any one of us can do...no, there's nothin' any one of us can do..." IT'S A CRAZY WORLD was Mac's first single from 1977, and, to this day, over 40 years later, it's still one of my favorite lyrics. "The Belmont, Mississippi Flash," as we called him back home in Mississippi on Jackson's then-WZZQ-FM when we played the egg-suckin' grooves off his first two albums, Mac once found himself sleeping on my sofa, as he needed a place to crash the night before a show (atop a flatbed semi-trailer) he played at what was then Hinds Junior College in Raymond, MS. Great guy, FANTASTIC musician. I have been happy for him from day one.

    Steuart Smith, fantastic guitarist. Love today's cuts with Mac McAnally.
    Glad you had a good shoot, working with someone you know. When you're working with someone for the first time, there is some ice breaking in the beginning, trying to make the subject, usually the client, in front of the camera comfortable. I usually chat with the models I'm working with for the first time, asking them what they like to do in front of the camera. It's all about making the shoot easy and natural, and flowing. A good shoot is not taking a gazillion photos; you're not shooting 100 to get one. My shoot today was with a few of the nurses my wife works with, the full works with hair, MUA and wardrobe ... a real glam day for them. It was a welcomed break for them because they've been logging some incredibly long hours the past 4-5 weeks. Have a great week, Lee.

      "Back Where I Come From" is one of his bigger hits, but most people would know it as a Kenny Chesney song. Long years ago he had a song called "It's My Job," that I still remember.

    Aerosmith had only one number one hit and Diane Warren wrote it she is one of the greatest song writers of all time. The Oscars is a popularity contest some times the best artist does not win. Her amazing body of work speaks for itself. Actors and players get the glory although with out the writer their would be nothing to act or play. This is one of the many things I love about you Lee you are a living legend and always remember to talk about the writers and the rest of the cast of characters who compete the project from the writer to the engineer producer and supporting players please never stop doing what you do . BTW I enjoyed Mac McAnally

You were stupendous and creating such interesting bass lines and your train of thought was always to make the recording the thing that matters! Also, the song that started with rhythm guitar and you doing solo bass lines was really exciting to listen to. A genius way to start a song!!!

    Mac McAnally's early albums on Arista are the best examples of southern ballads that have ever been. Particularly his first two. His third record was incredible in terms of the insight into the predicaments of the human experience that tended to be the theme for the rest of his ongoing career. His song "Holdin' on to Nothin'" off of his Cuttin' Corners Album is a stunning example of his ability to illustrate relationships we've all been in and couldn't describe. McAnally is one of the greatest lyricists America is or ever has produced. And Mac's song "The Ass and the Hole" may be the greatest song ever written about politics and popular culture.

    It must have been a great experience, and an interesting change of pace to go to Nashville and record. It certainly works to our advantage as well, since we get exposed to that many more artists, and every day it seems you mention other artists we haven't heard from, yet. Lots of fun listening, today--as usual.

    Mac produced and played on Jesse Winchester's wonderful final album, A Reasonable Amount of Trouble. Jesse fell ill before the album was completed and Mac took it upon himself to finish it properly, mixing it the way Jesse would have wanted. Thankfully, Jesse was able to listen to the final version before he passed away and told Mac that he "wouldn't change a note".
