Tim Mcgraw Information

Tim McGraw is one of those country superstars who is hard to picture without the hat. But under that hat Tim McGraw is a regular guy who just happens to have broken through many of the boundaries that have limited other country music stars. Tim McGraw has 10 albums spawning 25 No. 1 singles and selling more than 30 million copies. But Tim McGraw has also hopped the country fence with his up-tempo country-rock tunes and well-polished adult contemporary-style ballads touting the virtues of love and even life itself. He's graced the country and the pop charts, and Tim McGraw's duet with Nelly, "Over and Over," stayed atop the Urban charts for 12 weeks. In 2004, Tim McGraw tackled Hollywood with a very real performance as an ex-football star longing for his high school glory days in "Friday Night Lights.

Early songs brought Tim McGraw success with humorous novelty tunes such as "Indian Outlaw," and "Refried Dreams." But Tim McGraw doesn't shy away from recording songs with life-affirming messages such as "Live Like You Were Dying" and "My Next Thirty Years." The combination really helps him connect with his audience. Tim McGraw is a 2004 People's Choice Award winner for Favorite Male Musical Performer and a Grammy winner. The number of Country Music Awards he's received practically make Tim McGraw the poster-boy for the industry. The Tim McGraw NBC Live Concert Special in 2002 ranked higher than specials by U2 and Paul McCartney. Together with his wife, and separately, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are among the most successful artists in every genre.

Born Samuel Timothy McGraw in 1967, this country superstar had unknown famous roots. Tim McGraw grew up in Start, Louisiana, raised by his mother and stepfather. Tim listened to a variety of music: country, pop, rock, and R&B. At 11 Tim found out by accident that baseball great Tug McGraw was his father. Tim McGraw attended Northeast Louisiana University on a baseball scholarship, studying sports medicine. He developed a love for the stage and learned to play guitar and sing, a process his roommates described as painful hear. He played the local club circuit and dropped out of school in 1989. Tim McGraw and Tug had little contact but Tug did help Tim make a few connections in his early music career.

Tim Mcgraw's first album in 1992 fared poorly. His second album, "Not a Moment Too Soon," scored a hit with "Indian Outlaw," in 1994, but publicity called it's characterization of Native Americans into question. The publicity worked in Tim McGraw's favor helping drive the next single, "Don't Take the Girl," up the country charts and into the pop Top 20. The album spawned five hits and became the top selling country album of the year.

In 1995, Tim McGraw's follow up album, "All I Want," reaffirmed his position as an industry leader with the No. 1 smash "I Like It, I Love It." A series of hits followed. An extensive tour in 1996 paired Tim McGraw with opening act Faith Hill and changed McGraw's life. The couple married at the end of the tour.

The year 1997 brought the new Tim McGraw album, "Everywhere," and Gracie, a new baby with wife Faith Hill. The Tim McGraw-Faith Hill duet "It's Your Love," not only hit No. 1 country, but made the pop Top 10. "Everywhere," "Where the Green Grass Grows," and "Just to See You Smile" hit No. 1, and two other singles from Tim McGraw's album reached No. 2. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's second daughter, Maggie, joined the clan in 1998.

A Place in the Sun," Tim McGraw's 1999 triple-platinum album, hit No. 1 on the country and pop charts, and four of its singles also hit No. 1: "Please Remember Me" (which featured Patty Loveless), "Something Like That," "My Best Friend," and "My Next Thirty Years." A Top Ten duet called "Let's Make Love," from Faith Hill's "Breathe" album, followed. The song later won Tim McGraw his first Grammy, for Best Country Vocal Collaboration. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill brought the family on the road for their highly successful Soul 2 Soul tour of 2000. Tim McGraw picked up male vocalist of the year honors at the CMA awards in 1999 and 2000.

In 2001 Tim McGraw's third daughter was born. Like her mother, she was named Audrey (Faith Hill was actually born Audrey Faith Perry). With no sign of a slow down, 2001's "Set This Circus Down" kept Tim McGraw's hit streak going, giving him four more No. 1 hits. Tim McGraw's 2002 duet with protegée Jo Dee Messina, "Bring on the Rain," also went to No. 1.

Tim McGraw broke with country music tradition recording his 2002 album with his road band, The Dancehall Doctors, instead of studio musicians. Top Ten hits "Red Rag Top" and "She's My Kind of Rain," kept the Tim McGraw hit machine going. His 2004 "Live Like You Were Dying" album received wide acclaim.

As an adult Tim developed a strong friendship with Tug McGraw. Tug McGraw's death coincided with the beginning of work on "Live Like You Were Dying," the coincidence did not go unrecognized. "Live Like You Were Dying," became one of his fastest-to-the-top singles ever and stayed on top for a 30-year record-breaking 10 weeks at No. 1.

Faith Hill once again joined Tim McGraw on the road for a third tour, the 2006 Soul 2 Soul II tour. Up to that time Tim McGraw and Faith Hill had recorded four duets together: "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me," "It's Your Love," "Let's Make Love," and "Like We Never Loved At All." Are you catching the theme here? It may sound sickeningly sweet, but Tim McGraw and Faith Hill fans lap up the diet of sentimental ballads. Tim McGraw now plans his tours around family life and school schedules. And many of his fans, who have followed him through life's changes, adore him even more for his commitment to his family.
