When Tim McGraw fans go to see him in concert they all have their favorite songs they hope he’ll sing, but Tim says it’s inevitable that he’ll end up disappointing someone because he can’t possibly fit all of his hits into one show. “For two-and-a-half hours, two hours fifteen minutes, or whatever it is, it’s just tough to get everything in,” says Tim. “Plus, I wanna play new stuff and those kinda things. So, it’s hard to get everything in. You know, you don’t wanna end up with a bunch of ballads either.”

Things are only get tougher for Tim as he continues to add even more new hits to his catalog, like his latest single, “Meanwhile Back at Mama’s,” which will be on his new album, Sundown Heaven Town, being released September 16th.
