Shane McAnally een van de 30 Greatest American Songwriters

Shane McAnally is door The New York Times Magazine uitgeroepen tot een van de 30 grootste nog levende Amerikaanse songwriters.

”Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne are Music Row pros par excellence, brilliant practitioners of the time-honored tradecraft: crisp hooks, witty wordplay, brisk storytelling, songs that click and whir like little machines. They are also disrupters of tradition. For the past 15 years or so, they have been part of a loose collective, including star performers like Kacey Musgraves and Sam Hunt, and a number of other behind-the-scenes writers and producers, whose work has jolted country, pulling the genre in new directions stylistically, sonically, even politically.”

Shane McAnally heeft recentelijk de nieuwe single van Kacey Musgraves, ”Dry Spell”, geschreven.
