JOYAS MUSICALES: SHANE MACK

Volví a ves esta noche la película "Shelter", una de esas que te dejan buen sabor de boca y que cuenta, además, con una estupenda banda sonora. En medio de ella me llama mi amigo/ hermano T para decirme que se había muerto un amigo común, de golpe, sentado en su trabajo; terrible. Me quedé casi sin palabras. Disfrutemos ahora de la música, al menos lo poco bueno que nos queda en estos tiempos aciagos para alimentar nuestras almas maltrechas.

♫

Shane Mack, *Lie to me.

Shane Mack, *More than this.

Shane Mack, *I like that.

Shane Mack, *Take the long way home.

Shane McAnally, also known as Shane Mack (born October 12, 1974 in Mineral Wells, Texas), is an American country music artist. He signed to Curb Records in 1999 and released a self-titled debut album the following year. This album produced three singles for him on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, including the number 31 "Are Your Eyes Still Blue."Since 2005, McAnally has been recording/performing under the name Shane Mack. Five of his songs appear in the 2007 LGBT film Shelter. He has also written singles for Lee Ann Womack, Kenny Chesney and Jake Owen.

McAnally and music producer Rich Herring recorded a demo of a song that McAnally had written. The song, "Just One Touch", earned McAnally a publishing deal as well as a recording contract with Curb Records.

In 1999, McAnally signed with Curb Records and began recording his first album for the label as well as his first single. "Say Anything" was released in 1999 as the lead-off single to his self-titled debut album. The song failed to reach the Top 40 of the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart. The follow-up single, "Are Your Eyes Still Blue", became his first Top 40 single, peaking at number 31. McAnally released two more singles from the album; "Run Away", which peaked at number 50 on the country chart, and "It Comes and Goes", which failed to chart at all. His album was finally released in October 2000.

In the late 2000s, McAnally found work as a songwriter. He co-wrote Lee Ann Womack's single "Last Call" in 2008, Kenny Chesney's singles "Somewhere with You" and "Come Over", and Jake Owen's 2011 single "Alone with You".
