More Tim McGraw Information

The self-effacing Louisiana-bred superstar has never been shy about bucking trends or defying expectations, but with this new record, he's topped himself. In his ongoing pursuit of new creative options, he's bypassed Nashville's standard method of cutting tracks with session musicians in favor of recording with his longstanding live band, the Dancehall Doctors. The result is a rivetingly real tour de force whose songs are matched by gritty, inventive arrangements and loose, effortlessly soulful performances that enhance the songs' emotional impact while driving McGraw to some of his most heartfelt vocal performances to date.

"This is the most ambitious tour we've ever set out to do. I want this tour to look and feel different than anything we've done in the past," says McGraw. "We want the time and space to go deeper musically, to play album cuts and all kinds of songs that we jam on in rehearsal, but never get to play in concert. We want fans to get to see the side of us as a band that we enjoy the most: hanging out and playing music all night with no time constraints. The challenge is to take a show that's twice as long and keep up our own standards of what it needs to be visually & dynamically. That's the ambitious part."
