Recording Artist
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.[3]
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.
McAnally briefly recorded under the name Shane Mack from 2005-2007. Five of his songs appear in the 2007 LGBT film Shelter.[4]
