Perhaps you haven’t heard of Bob McDill, but you have heard his songs! McDill has an incredible 31 no. 1 country hits. The retired songwriter, from the Beaumont area, treated his songwriting like a true 9-to-5 job with a great work ethic resulting in iconic songs like ‘Song of the South’, ‘Louisiana Saturday Night’ and ‘Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On’.
His songwriting often paints a portrait of southern culture with literary depth, influenced by his voracious reading. McDill retired in 2000 and hasn’t written a song since, instead turning his attention to writing two books. He is a country music and Texas legend!
