Mac McAnally Wins CMA Musician of the Year Again

Coral Reefer Band member and singer/songwriter Mac McAnally has won CMA Musician of the Year for the second straight year.

“I’m tickled to be nominated in the only category you don’t have to go on a diet to be a part of,” said McAnally.

He was also up for Musical Event of the Year for “Down The Road” with Kenny Chesney but the award went to Brad Paisley and Keith Urban for “Start A Band.”

Musician of the Year and Musical Event of the Year were announced before Wednesday night’s broadcast of the 43rd Annual CMA Awards on ABC.
