Shannon McNally (born Shannon Maureen McNally on 17 March 1973 in Hempstead… Read Full Bio ↴Shannon McNally (born Shannon Maureen McNally on 17 March 1973 in Hempstead, New York) is an American singer-songwriter.
While studying anthropology at Franklin and Marshall College, McNally began singing and playing guitar in clubs. After graduating and honing her skills on the streets of Paris as a busker, she secured a deal with Capitol Records in 1997. McNally was intent on making an acoustic record and entered the studio with studio professionals including Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Greg Leisz. The resulting album Jukebox Sparrows was not released at the time.
In the interim, McNally opened for Stevie Nicks and Ryan Adams, and was part of the 1999 Girl's Room tour with Tara MacLean, Kendall Payne, and Amy Correia. She also modeled for Urban Decay cosmetics. In 2000, McNally issued the holdover EP Bolder Than Paradise. When Capitol finally issued Jukebox Sparrows in January 2002, it did so into a market that had already embraced such roots-flavored material as Ryan Adams and the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack. McNally embarked on a press tour, and spent the summer of that year supporting John Mellencamp. In late 2002, she released the Ran on Pure Lightning EP, a collaboration with songwriter Neal Casal.
In 2005, McNally returned with the country, blues, and soul influences on the album Geronimo. The album's June release was accompanied by a summer's worth of live dates. Early 2006 saw the release of McNally's third album, North American Ghost Music. Tour dates with Son Volt also coincided its release.
McNally took off most of 2008 and 2009 after the birth of her first child. She has resumed performing and recording and toured with Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women. In 2009 she released the album Coldwater with her band Hot Sauce. McNally currently resides near Oxford, Mississippi.
In 2013, McNally released Small Town Talk, a tribute album to the songs of Bobby Charles. In an interview, McNally said that she was a longtime friend of Bobby Charles and Small Town Talk was inspired by Charles' first, self-titled album from 1973

Thank you for this! 💜💜💜. So many nights spent listening to this beautiful song wondering when my strange love would appear 😂

This is one of my many favs from Shannon. I became an INSTANT fan years ago when I first saw her on late night TV doing "Now That I Know" (another one of my favs). It's a shame those first couple studio records didn't catch on a bit more, as they certainly should have. But, success is not only measured by how many records one sells. She's still at it creating great songs. TY Shannon.

How this incredible artist did not become a superstar is absolutely a mystery to me. I discovered her in the late nineties and have followed and loved her ever since. A real shame, and I have introduced shannon to numerous people and they love her also, so unique and incredibly talented. Must have been the record company screwing up, she's again great!

very refreshing from the legendary Shannon McNally,...........
