Meet Tim McGraw! He is a legendary country music artist who loves to sing about the lives of the American people. He is a single singer and songwriter, but has appeared in many duets with other country artists such as Faith Hill (his wife), Taylor Swift, and Kenny Chesney. When his music career was just getting started, he was a member in a band called The Dance Hall Doctors.

 

Not only is Tim a talented country music artist, but he is also an actor. Some of his most famous roles include Sean Tuohy (The Blind Side) and Charles Billingsley (Friday Night Lights).

 

Tim McGraw is a household name in the country music world. He has produced 12 albums, and he is only 47 years old. Tim first hit the music scene when he was given a record deal with Nashville-based Curb Records in 1991. His first self-titled album was produced in 1993, but was not very popular.

 

His first hit single was titled "Indian Outlaw" and came out in 1994. It was loved by many, and climbed to the top of the charts and was played on the radio constantly. The song, however, was controversial to many Native Americans because of its lyrics. "Indian Outlaw" earned Tim both fame and controversy attached to his name.

 

Tim McGraw grew up in a small town in Louisiana called Start, in Richland Parish. His small-town upbringing has played a role in the influence in his music, and examples of these can be found in many of his songs.

 

Tim has won 42 awards throughout his career, including 3 Grammys for his hit songs, "Let's Make Love" (2001 with Faith Hill), "Live Like You Were Dying" (2005), and "Like We Never Loved At All" (2006 with Faith Hill).  

 

Tim has continued to release new albums, and is popular among people of many different ages. His music is perfect to play for whatever mood you are in!
