Barely a year after releasing his last hit-making album, Sundown Heaven Town, Tim McGraw is back with his new Damn Country Music album, which arrives in stores everywhere today (Friday, November 6th). Tim tells us that he wasn’t necessarily planning to record a new album so quickly, but the songs were so good he just didn’t want to wait. “It wasn’t the plan, but I’ve been really feeling creative over the last, I guess, five years or so. I just sort of got on a roll and started finding songs that I really loved and loved being in the studio. I started going into the studio to record this album and wasn’t sure when I was gonna release it, and then as we got in the studio and started working we started really enjoying the music. I think every artist will tell you that once you start playing new music and recording new music you start getting excited, and I didn’t want to wait a long time to start playing new music, and I just really got excited about this music and when we were recording I really got excited about ‘Damn Country Music’ when we recorded that song. It’s just those songs . . . I just felt like I need to get them out and I wanted people to hear them.”
Damn Country Music features Tim’s current hit single, “Top Of The World,” as well as musical guests Gracie McGraw and Big & Rich. A Deluxe Edition of Damn Country Music is also available featuring three bonus tracks.
Next week, Tim heads to New York City for appearances on Live! With Kelly & Michael, CBS This Morning and The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
