Adam Mac Unveils New Track “All Dollars, No Sense”
Genre-bending queer country artist Adam Mac, recently dubbed “cowBoy George” by fans for his bold style and sound, is back with a new track that blends razor-sharp wit, undeniable groove and a healthy dose of side-eye.
Available now, “All Dollars, No Sense” offers another taste of what’s to come from Mac’s highly anticipated third studio album, due later this fall.
The danceable fusion of country and modern pop, written by Mac alongside Jessica Cayne and Chris Rafetto, spins a clever, tongue-in-cheek take on keeping up appearances while going broke in the process. Packing a funky punch, “All Dollars, No Sense” hits like a club-ready mashup of Bruno Mars and Brooks & Dunn, laced with a no-holds-barred lyricism as cutting as it is catchy.
“I wanted this song to feel like that moment when you’re sitting at the bar with your best friend, gossiping about the ridiculous lengths some folks will go to put on a show,” says Mac. “It’s playful, but it’s also about how exhausting and empty that game can be. Plus, it’s just fun as hell to sing and dance to.”
This latest release follows the intimate and heartfelt, “Last Rodeo,” which was written by Mac with Sonia Leigh and Jason Mate as wedding vows to husband Lee Pfund. Filmed by Ford Fairchild in Sedona where the newlyweds exchanged vows in June, the song’s accompanying music video is deeply personal and marks a new chapter in Mac’s ever-evolving artistry.
Unafraid to sparkle in the spotlight – or speak his truth, Mac continues to capture hearts with his unapologetic Southern flair, raw truth and glitter-soaked twang. Mac also recently released a companion video for “Southern Spectacle.”
Written by Mac with HALLIE, Gigi Rich and Sonia Leigh, the song is a celebration of self-expression in the face of Southern tradition. The video finds the Southern spectacle returning to his hometown of Russellville, KY with his glitter and rhinestone shine on full display.
Mac has been pushing the boundaries of country music from the beginning. Rooted in the gospel and ’90s country sounds of his youth, he has carved a space all his own with a fresh fusion of southern soul, disco flair, and fearless storytelling.
These new tracks follow the success of Mac’s previous release “Dust Off Your Boots,” which sparked a nationwide line dancing trend and held the No. 1 spot on CMT’s 12 Pack Countdown for six consecutive weeks. Before that, his breakout anthem “Disco Cowboy” reigned at No. 1 for four weeks and premiered exclusively on CMT.
As a visible queer voice in country music today, Mac’s journey has not been without challenges. When he was scheduled to headline the Logan County Tobacco and Heritage Festival in his conservative hometown, backlash from local pastors sparked national headlines. His strength in the face of hate drew support from fans, hometown friends and celebrities alike – including Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini and Brandy Clark – and led to a guest appearance on Morris’ Lunatics Tour in Chicago.
With his magnetic presence and rich storytelling, Mac continues to carve out space for queer voices in the country format showing that there’s room for every kind of story.
