My Take
Edwin McCain will forever be tied to I'll Be, that 1998 ballad that hit number five and became a wedding-day fixture, but I think reducing him to one hit does him a disservice. With five of his eleven albums charting on the Billboard 200, this Greenville, South Carolina songwriter has shown real staying power and a refusal to chase trends. What I respect most is how he kept writing and touring long after the radio spotlight faded, trusting his own voice. Writing a song that scores millions of life's biggest moments is a legacy most musicians would envy, and he earned it honestly.
