TIM MCGRAW TO RELEASE ELEVENTH ALBUM “LET IT GO” IN STORES MARCH 27TH
Tim McGraw, Grammy, ACM, CMA, People’s Choice Award winner and more, will release one of 2007’s most anticipated albums on March 27. Let It Go is his first studio album in nearly 3 years.
In March 2006, Reflected: Greatest Hits V. 2, became McGraw’s ninth consecutive album to debut at the #1 spot on the Billboard Country Albums chart, while his previous studio album Live Like You Were Dying, released in 2004, debuted with a career high in sales of 766,000 copies in just its first week. To date, it has sold nearly 4 million copies.
“I am really excited about this new studio album,” says McGraw. “It was great to work with Byron Gallimore, Darran Smith and my band in the studio again and to build upon our work together.”
Let It Go was recorded in Nashville and is co-produced by McGraw, Byron Gallimore and Darran Smith. McGraw again enlisted the help of his touring band The Dancehall Doctors on the album, which is now their third consecutive project. The album’s first single “Last Dollar,” written by Big Kenny of Big & Rich, kicked off the New Year as the first played video of 2007 on CMT.
The album contains 13 tracks: “Last Dollar,” “I’m Workin’,” “Let It Go,” “Whiskey and You,” “Suspicions,” “Kristofferson,” “Put Your Loving On Me,” “Nothin’ To Die For,” “Between The River and Me,” “Train #10,” “I Need You,” “Comin’ Home,” and “Shotgun Rider.” Faith Hill appears on two tracks, “Shotgun Rider” and “I Need You,” which was the smashing encore song during their history making 2006 “Soul2Soul II Tour.” McGraw co-wrote the song “Train #10.”
Tim McGraw has spent more than the last decade in the upper reaches of the entertainment world. His career is marked by multi-platinum albums, record-breaking tours, “Soul2Soul II” in 2006 made country music history as the highest grossing tour ever, and most recently by an expanded presence in movies with his first role in 2004’s Friday Night Lights followed by last year’s family hit Flicka and the upcoming The Kingdom with Jamie Foxx and In The Valley of Elah, which will film in early 2007. In 2006, he co-ventured with longtime music producer Gallimore to form their own record label, StyleSonic Records. The label’s first release found them partnered with Fox 2000 and Curb Records for the soundtrack from the motion picture Flicka, released in October 2006. The single from Flicka, “My Little Girl,” co-written by McGraw and Tom Douglas, has been nominated for a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song in A Motion Picture. His career has charted 26 #1 singles and sold 34 million albums. McGraw filmed 3 highly rated NBC Television Specials and his award collection to date includes: 3 Grammys, 11 Academy of Country Music awards, 10 Country Music Association awards, 9 American Music awards, 3 People's Choice awards and more.
