A.K.A Nobody
A.K.A. Nobody, a masterpiece born perhaps in spite of its creator's endearing, genuine humility. Ultimately, though, that becomes as indispensable to this music as McAnally's multi-faceted skills. With his love for literature and reverence for evocative lyric and melody, he emerges here as less of a star in the modern sense but more like a classic storyteller.
"I've been around storytellers all my life -- Southern whittlers and guys at the courthouse," he says.
A.K.A. Nobody proves to the world that Mac McAnally is somebody -- unique and irreplaceable.
