Tim McGraw Tickets – He’s Got a Sweet, ‘Southern Voice’

When you think Tim McGraw, you might be thinking of your favorite song – if not, you might be picking out a new one as the sexy southerner released Southern Voice on Curb Records Oct. 20 and has already seen a plenty of publicity for his hit single “It’s a Business Doing Pleasure with You.” The ballad hit No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. It is the 10th studio album from the country singer, as well as with producer Byron Gallimore. 
Nearly two years have passed since McGraw released a new album, the last being 2007’s Let It Go.  In fact, Southern Voice was recorded over three years ago in the fall of 2006 at Dark Horse studio in Franklin, Tenn. “I was still in my 30s (when the album was recorded),” McGraw said to Reuters. “It was a whole other decade for me. I feel like it’s a great collection of songs, and sonically I think the band [Dancehall Doctors] sounds really great. I think it has a real grounded earthiness to it.” He is scheduled for a few tour dates this year, and you can see him live via Tim McGraw tickets from http://www.stubhub.com.
Though McGraw is finally excited to let the public hear these tunes, he isn’t as dedicated to the album as he has been with previous releases. It also doesn’t help that he’s already moved on from Southern Voice to a new album, which he admits he begins recording in about a month. Though McGraw has been with Curb Records his entire career, he says “I thought [the new studio album] was coming out a lot quicker than it did and then the greatest-hits records kept dropping. I’ve got one record left on this label, and I can’t help but think that it was a stall tactic to add another year to my contract.” Though McGraw has been vocal over the years about Curb’s forcefulness in releasing new greatest hits albums, he still remains one of the hottest selling country acts of all time.
With a career that began in the 1990s, McGraw has sold nearly 40 million records (which includes 30 No. 1 singles) and has also picked up 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, 10 American Music Awards, three Grammys and three People’s Choice Awards.
Tim McGraw’s family includes country star wife Faith Hill. McGraw and Hill first met during McGraw’s tour for the 1995 album All I Want, which included the hit single “I Like it, I Love it.” The album was his third release, but second effort to actually spur mainstream success following the breakthrough popularity of 1994’s Not a Moment Too Soon and the single “Indian Outlaw.”
Following the McGraw-Hill wedding, McGraw released 1997’s Everywhere that saw serious mainstream promotion thanks to the high profile country nuptials. Appearing on that album was the couple’s first duet, “It’s Your Love,” which made it to the Pop Top 10 and the Country No. 1. The album included several more Top 10 hits, helping McGraw claim the country throne just as Garth Brooks started to descend from the business. Since then McGraw has remained on top with five more albums and three greatest hits releases, keeping his ‘Southern Voice’ a prominent figure in the biz.
