Austin 360
Shannon McNally isn t an Austinite, but the singer-songwriter who currently calls Nashville home has ties to the Live Music Capital. She s spent much of the past few years singing Texas songwriter Terry Allen s band alongside prominent Austin musicians such as Lloyd Maines and Charlie Sexton. And South Austin venue Sam s Town Point has became a local home base of sorts for McNally, a place for her to work out new material with her band in an intimate setting.
On May 28, Compass Records will release The Waylon Sessions, an album of songs popularized by the late Waylon Jennings. The record features guest appearances by Jennings widow, Jessi Colter, as well as Rodney Crowell, Buddy Miller and Lukas Nelson.
