Early life edit

McBride was born Jimmy Ray McBride in Huntsville, Alabama on April 28, 1947.[1][9] His parents were James Alvin and Helen Hillis McBride.[10] His grandfather was a sharecropper in Alabama.[10] McBride grew up listening to country music on WBHP with his mother.[1][10] On Saturday nights, his entire family listened to the Grand Ole Opry.[10]

He attended Rison Elementary, and Lee Junior High, before graduating from Lee High School in 1965.[10]

McBride spent his younger years reading about songs, especially in the magazine Country Song Roundup.[9] His favorite writers were Hank Williams and Don Gibson.[3] He wrote his first song when he was twelve years old and began writing full-time at eighteen.[9] When McBride was 21, he purchased his first guitar, a Yamaha FG75, learning to play from his uncle.[1][10]

In the 1970s, McBride brought his songs to Curly Putman, a fellow songwriter from Alabama who had started Tree Publishing in Nashville, Tennessee.[9][10] Putman became McBride's mentor and friend.[10] In the early 1970s, The Hagers recorded five of his songs and performed them on the television show Hee Haw.[9][1][10] However, McBride did not make money from these recordings.[10]

Frustrated by his lack of success selling songs, McBride stopped writing. He worked for the U.S. Post Office for fourteen years.[10] In 1980, McBride told co-writer Roger Murrah that he would quit his job and move to Nashville if their song “A Bridge That Just Won’t Burn” was recorded as a single.[9] McBride says, "Roger called me one night and said ‘I guess you need to pack your bags, we’ve got Conway’s next single.’ I quit the post office the day after Christmas, 1980..."[9]

Career edit

 
McBride's Alabama Music Hall of Fame star.

Conway Twitty released McBride's song, "A Bridge That Just Won’t Burn", in October 1980.[1] The song entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at number 62 the week of October 18, 1980. It stayed on the chart for seventeen consecutive weeks, peaking at number three the week of January 10, 1981.[11] It won the BMI Country Award in 1981.[9]

In January 1981, McBride started working as a songwriter for Bill Rice and Jerry Foster, along with Roger Murrah.[9] McBride's first number one song on Billboard's Hot Country Songs Chart was "Bet Your Heart on Me" recorded by Johnny Lee and released in September 1981. Lee's recording entered Billboard Hot Country Songs at number 55 the week of October 3, 1981, staying there for fifteen consecutive weeks and peaking at number one the week on December 5, 1981.[12] It also made the Billboard Hot 100 chart, entering at number 84 the week of October 10, 1981, and peaking at number 54 on November 14, 1981.[12]

In March 1983, the country band Alabama released McBride's song, "Dixie Boy", on their album The Closer You Get...[4] Although McBride's song was not a hit, the album stayed on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart for 206 weeks.[13] It was also the Country Music Association's Album of the Year.

In 1987, Waylon Jennings released "Rose in Paradise", a song McBride co-wrote with Stewart Harris.[4] "Rose in Paradise" would rise to number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs Chart in April 1987.[14] This success led publisher Charlie Monk and CBS Songs to buy McBride's contract from Jerry Foster.[9] Also in 1987, George Jones recorded "I'm a Survivor", a song McBride co-wrote with Keith Stegall, for the album titled Too Wild Too Long.[4]

In 1988, McBride met Alan Jackson, a young singer newly arrived in Nashville.[10] The two began writing songs together; Jackson became McBride's most frequent collaborator during the 1990s and the 2000s.[3] Jackson recorded their song "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow" and released it as a single in 1989, with another song written by the pair, "Short Sweet Ride", on the B-Side. "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow" peaked number two on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in December 1990.[15] The song was also included on Jackson's album, Here in the Real World, released in February 1990, along with two other songs written by McBride and Jackson. Although the album peaked at number 57 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, it went Multi-Platinum and was the 1991 TNN Music City News Country Awards Album of the Year.[16][17]

While writing with Jackson, McBride wrote songs recorded by Aaron Tippin, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, and Conway Twitty. Then, McBride and Jackson co-wrote "Someday", released by Jackson as a single in 1991. "Someday" entered Billboard's Country Airplay chart and Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at number fifty the week of August 31, 1991, and stayed on the charts for twenty consecutive weeks.[6] It reached number one on both charts the week of November 9, 1991.[6]

In 1992, McBride and Jackson co-wrote "Chattahoochee". Jackson's recording of the song entered Billboard's Country Airplay chart and Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart at number 72 the week of May 15, 1993.[18] It reached number one on both charts the week of July 17, 1993, and stayed there for four consecutive weeks.[18] "Chattahoochee" won the Academy of Country Music Awards Single Record of the Year, the American Music Awards Favorite Country Single, ASCAP Country Award Song of the Year, Country Music Association Awards Single of the Year, Country Music Association Awards Song of the Year, and the TNN Music City News Country Awards Single of the Year.[1][7][8][19][10]

"Chattahoochee" was included on Jackson's album, A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'bout Love) along with three other songs by the songwriting duo, "(Who Says) You Can't Have It All", "Tropical Depression", and "If It Ain't One Thing (It's You)". "(Who Says) You Can't Have It All" peaked at number four on Billboard's Country Airplay Hot Country Songs chart in April 1993.[20] "Tropical Depression" peaked at number 75 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in August 1993.[21] The album entered the charts on October 24, 1992, ranking number 84 on Billboard's 200, Top Album Sales, and Top Current Albums charts; in addition to number 24 on Top Country Albums. It stayed on the Top Country Albums chart for 159 consecutive weeks, reaching number one the week of August 14, 1993.[22]
