For the third of our three-part interview feature on Little Feat’s Join The Band, we spoke with co-producer Mac McAnally. Mac’s best known as the lead guitar player in Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, but he’s one of the best utility guys in the game capable of writing, producing, engineering and playing a large number of instruments. After getting to know Mac while recording Buffett’s License to Chill, Little Feat keyboardist Bill Payne asked McAnally to co-produce Join The Band.
Scott Bernstein: How did you get involved with Join The Band?
Mac McAnally: The real answer is a lifetime of prayer. I’m a lifetime fan. I’ve been a fan of Little Feat forever. Back in Mississippi, when I was growing up, I used to take their records and I’d listen to just the left side and listened to the just the right side and tried to figure out what they were doing. They’ve always been heroes of mine. It was actually Jimmy Buffett, he and Billy Payne were the driving force behind getting this thing done. When it came out that this was going to happen and I got an opportunity to work, it was a resume thing for me. If I was writing up my lifetime, saying I got to work with those guys would be high up in the first paragraph. I’m a big fan.
