Tim McGraw's latest album, Emotional Traffic has been a long time coming. McGraw had to sue his former record label, Curb Records, to get out of his contract, and is now a free agent, so to speak, but Curb finally released the final project, and the result is worth the wait.
The album is getting good reviews from the media, and the fans have spoken as to how much they've missed new music from Tim by buying over 67,000 copies in its first week of release, debuting at #1 on Billboard's Country Album chart, and #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart. This makes it the 13th album McGraw has had an album debut at the top of Billboard's Country Album charts.
“The most beautiful thing about this No. one debut, over the others, is that it was driven by the fans and their eagerness to finally have this music in their hands,” said McGraw in a recent press release. “The fans don't care about the business side of things…they just want the artists they follow to keep putting out great songs, and I think we have delivered some of the best songs of my career on Emotional Traffic. The reaction to the album makes me even more excited to get back on the road this summer on the 'Brothers of the Sun' tour."
The Brothers of the Sun Tour of which McGraw speaks, is a duel headlining tour with Kenny Chesney, which will kick off in Tampa, FL on June 2nd, and play in some of the country's biggest stadiums, in 20 cities. This is the first time in 10 years that the two friends have toured together, and tickets to the shows are highly sought after, selling out left and right. Guest artists on the tour are Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and Jake Owen.
Tim McGraw's current single, "Better Than I Used To Be" is sitting at No. 22 this week on Billboard's Country Song charts, and still rising.
