CURRENT SINGLE: “I Called Mama”
Throughout Tim McGraw’s 30-year career, one of the things he has been admired for is his ability to pick great songs, songs that are poignant or powerful or paint a picture in the unique way they tell a story, or songs that touch people because they evoke a universal emotion, like his current single, “I Called Mama.” Tim has often been asked what his secret to picking great songs is, and he says, “I love songs and I love songwriters, and I’m always searching for songs that really work for me, and songs that I feel like I can realty do something with in the studio. I’m in a fortunate position.”
Tim also knows that his seniority in country music often gives him a great advantage. “I guess that I get to hear a lot of great songs right off the bat when songwriters write ‘em,” says Tim. “So, that’s a plus. I guess that’s sort of a consequence of stickin’ around for so long.”
If you’ve heard Tim’s new album, then you know he definitely used that benefit to his advantage to make a fantastic album.
