Little Willie McKay
The biggest little man in country music!
Little Willie McKay was born a sharecropper's son in 1939 Ballou Mississippi. Little Willie was always
small, even before the "accident" that left him a country legend. Playing and singing from inside his
1938 Martin Dreadnaught, Willie made over 200 LP records, with 63 number one hit singles in his short
lifetime. Little
Willie McKay is remembered today for his "lonesome" sound, especially his hits "She Done Me Kinda Lonesome",
"Lonesome is as Lonesome Does", and "Lonesome, Lonesome, Lonesome".
After a short stint in the U.S Marines,
Willie went on to write several forgettable "country patriot" songs with his band "The Country Patriots"
including the anti-Jew-and-Catholic "Whisky, America and Jesus"
before perishing in a Country Music Hall of Fame Reunion Concert stunt.
