Mac Gives Kenny a Cool Guitar

After writing and being invited to sing on the #1 hit, "Down The Road," Mac McAnally decided to say thanks to Kenny Chesney for cutting the song and asking to sing on it too. His gift a very special Gibson guitar. “The idea that Mac would sing this song with me was gift enough,” Chesney explained. “Mac told me that he wrote 'Down The Road' and 'Back Where I Come From' on this guitar,” Chesney marvels. “And a whole bunch of other songs over the years. It's the guitar that he's written on - and he wants me to have it. I know there are lots of songs in that guitar. Lots. For him to give it to me, as if the songs I've been fortunate enough to get to sing weren't enough, well, that may be one of the single greatest gifts anyone has ever given me.” Next step, Mac on the road with Kenny. “We haven't performed it live yet,” Chesney explains. “But that's going to be resolved quickly. Hearing it on the radio wasn't enough for me… I wanna go out and sing it live with my friend.”
