Although he was born in Alabama, Mac grew up in Belmont, Mississippi. His interest in music dates back to the very early age of three when he apparently began playing piano in the local church. He later became interested in guitar playing, and by the age of 15 had already composed his first song. Soon after, he began playing piano at Tennessee’s Stateline Country Club, but later relocated to Muscle Shoals, Alabama where he began as a session musician, where his talent was noticed and Mac was further encouraged to start playing his own material. This led him to signing a record deal with Ariola Records in 1977, and later that year, Mac McAnally released his eponymous debut studio album, featuring the hit single “It’s a Crazy World” which peaked at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100. This initial success provided the basis for Mac McAnally’s rather impressive current net worth.
In 1990 McAnally scored a real commercial success when Warner Bros. Records released his “Simple Life” album with the hit single “Back Where I Come From” which peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Top 40. Since then Mac has released nine more studio albums, 15 in total, of which the most recent is “A.K.A. Nobody” that hit the charts in 2015. However, he accomplished real success when he began writing songs for Jimmy Buffett, and later when he joined Buffett’s backing band, The Coral Reefer Band. All these achievements have made a huge, positive impact on the total size of Mac McAnally’s net worth.
