Welcome back to Behind the Shedd!  Today we have a very special friend and guest who has written some really great country songs.  Mr. Donny Lowery has one of the most unique paths into the country music business, we think you’ll enjoy is journey.  

BIO
Donny is probably best known as the co-writer of Alabama’s “Old Flame,” a song that went all the way to #1 on the Billboard country chart and became one of the group’s enduring classics.  But that is only part of the story. Over the years, Donny has had more than 100 songs recorded by artists including Alabama, Reba McEntire, Randy Travis, Glen Campbell, Restless Heart, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Billy Ray Cyrus and many others. His catalog also includes songs like “Stand a Little Rain,” “Say What’s in Your Heart,” and “Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right).”

And then there’s the other side of Donny’s story. Alongside songwriting, he built a career as a fisheries biologist!
