[edit] History

Between 1995 and 2002, McHayes frontman Wade Hayes was a solo artist, recording a total of four studio albums, and charting more than a dozen singles on the Billboard country music charts, including the Number One single "Old Enough to Know Better". After poor performance of his fourth studio album, Highways & Heartaches, he partnered with musician Mark McClurg, who had previously played fiddle in Alan Jackson's road band, to form the duo McHayes.[1][2] Signed to Universal South Records in 2003, McHayes charted one single, titled "That Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You".[3] McHayes also recorded an album titled Lessons in Lonely, which was slated for release in mid-2003; the album's release was delayed and eventually shelved, and the duo exited Universal South's roster.[4][5]
