Darrell McCall will headline the Llano Country Opry this month. McCall grew up listening to the music and guitar picking of Merle Travis.

McCall got his first hit with the song “A Stranger Was Here” and followed it with appearances in the movies “Nashville Rebel” “Road To Nashville” and “What Am I Bid?” in 1965 and 1966. In 1972, he penned the number one hit “Eleven Roses” for Hank Williams Jr.

The ‘70s brought several top hits for McCall including “There’s Still A Lot of Love In San Antone” “Pins and Needles (In My Heart)” “Down The Road To Daddy’s Dreams” “Dreams of A Dreamer” and “It’s The Water.”

McCall still performs all over the Country with his wife Mona and makes frequent appearances on the world famous Grand Ole Opry. They most recently moved back to Texas and are now residents of the small community of Fredonia.

“We love the Central Texas and Hill Country area and all the people there,” McCall said. “As a matter of fact, we loved it so much that we moved here! We are looking forward to hitting the stage and entertaining some of our favorite people in the whole world.”

Other entertainers on the Opry will include Mona McCall, Kimberley Murray, Jimmy Depoy, Gayle Holly, Justin Trevino, Tony Pickens, Bucille Snotgrass, Don Ricketson, Lonnie Atkinson and Shane Lively. Tracy Pitcox will MC the show.
