<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A bunch of us Coral Reefers had the privilege of representing our beloved brother and boss Jimmy Buffett as he was honored by the Tennessee Legislature on <strong>Monday, April 1</strong>. There was singing and storytelling and bi-partisan good times. And nobody yelled April Fools! Jimmy would be proud. Thank you, <strong>Rep. Caleb Hemmer </strong>for getting the (beach) ball rolling,” McAnally said. <br><br>McAnally is set to release two highly anticipated new songs this <strong>Friday, April 5</strong> that are sure to delight music fans, especially Parrot Heads. The beautiful <strong>“Oysters and Pearls</strong>,<strong>”</strong> a tune that was co-written and previously released by Buffett, takes on a whole new meaning since the legendary musician’s passing last year. McAnally honors Buffett by staying true to the infamous island, tropical sound while using his unique vocals to add a sense of soulfulness and emotion to the heartfelt song.<br><br><strong>“All The Way Around”</strong> paints a vivid picture of life for someone who is curious, adventurous and determined to live life to the fullest. McAnally, who knows a thing or two about traveling “All The Way Around”, wrote the song in anticipation for a performance in Antarctica. The upbeat yet laid back track is sure to become a fan favorite that gets everyone on their feet and wanting more from the talented artist. The two new songs exclusively premiered and are actively playing now on <strong>Radio Margaritaville</strong>. They will be available everywhere on Friday.</p>
