Interesting facts and trivia about Edwin McCain. By Songfacts®.

Edwin McCain was born in Charleston, South Carolina. McCain decided to learn the guitar at the age of 15 and joined his first band two years later. He went on to enroll at the University of South Carolina, but was kicked out after he was caught streaking across campus. McCain subsequently spent the next few years touring as an independent musician until he was signed to Atlantic Records and released his major label debut, Honor Among Thieves, in 1995.

Commercial success came with McCain's second major label album, Missguided Roses, released in 1997. The album spawned the hit single, "I'll Be." Over one million Dr. Phil viewers voted this the greatest wedding song of all time. McCain told us that "I'll Be" was not intended as a love song, but was instead a "kind of a Hail Mary prayer."

Edwin McCain once opened for LL Cool J. McCain told Heavy.com it was the worst gig he ever played: "That was a disaster. I played three songs and got the hell out of there. They were not huge fans."
