Mac McAnally has achieved many milestones in his remarkable career. He’s been inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and the Mississippi Music Hall of Fame. He’s won the CMA Award for Musician of the Year six consecutive times. He’s written six No. 1 hits.
Surprisingly, however, McAnally has never played the Grand Ole Opry as a solo performer.
That will change Feb. 28 when he performs at the Grand Ole Opry’s 7 p.m. show. Also on the bill for the evening are Sara Evans, The Henningsens, and Opry members Lorrie Morgan, Ralph Stanley, Jeannie Seely and others.
Dean Miller released his video for the title track on his Til You Stop Getting Up album, and the video clip for the song co-stars the recent lifetime achievement Grammy Award winner and Country Music Hall of Famer, Kris Kristofferson.
When I wrote and recorded the song Til You Stop Getting Up, I was always imagining the images in the song. They really lend themselves to a video, says Miller.
Kristofferson, a former Golden Gloves boxer and Miller family friend, was the perfect actor to star in the video. I knew there was no one else but him to cast as the older fighter. I was shocked and excited when he said that he would do it!
