Tim McGraw is gonna "Let It Go"

Tim McGraw is turning 40 this year. When he started this incredible ride back in 1990, he was a 23 year old kid with a dream and a prayer. On his first radio tour around the country, Tim gave out baseballs to promote his first single "What Room Was The Holiday Inn". I think that was to play off the fact that his dad was the famous major league pitcher, Tug McGraw.
Tim looks back now and says it was a terrible song, but he's thankful people gave him a chance. Little did he know back then, he would end up a multi-millionaire, Grammy winner, married to one of country music's biggest female stars. Add to that, three beautiful daughters and enough money to live for 10 lifetimes. Tim has achieved what many people dream of when they stand in front of a mirror as a kid, playing air guitar and singing to themselves. He deserves it. He's one of the most humble, kindest people you'll ever meet.
His new album "Let It Go" is out in the stores today and it doesn't disappoint. I've listened to it twice already and my favorite tune is one of the two duets with wife Faith Hill. Shotgun Rider is gonna be a big hit(if it's released as a single) It reminds me of a Waylon Jennings, Jessie Colter duet circa 1976.
A song Old School country fans might recognize is Tim's cover of the Eddie Rabbit tune, "Suspicions" This one is a steamer!!!
"Let It Go" is chock full of some real country songs. There's one in particular I love. It's called "Not Worth Dying For" It's a great tune about the perils of drinking and driving. I wish the whole world could hear it and would take it to heart.
This CD sort of reminds me of "Everywhere" with its more traditional sound.
There are less of the rock style songs and more straight up country tunes.
Another favorite of mine is "Whiskey and You" This is a dog-gone good country tune. A great one for folks who've lost a love.
Tim's 11th CD is a good one and poised to be a big ole' smash!!!
