From Country Standard Time: Mac McAnally won the Country Music Association award for Musician of the Year.
McAnally, who has enjoyed a solo career and toured with Jimmy Buffett, took the honor over Paul Franklin – steel guitar, Dann Huff, Randy Scruggs and Brett Mason – guitar.
The guys nominated with me were better than me, but if this means I get to keep picking with them, then I’m the luckiest guy in the bunch,” McAnally said.
