Tim McGraw

By Alison Bonaguro Not every teenager who takes Nashville by storm ends up riding the Taylor Swift rocketship to stardom. Some take time off to write, reflect and find a new record label. Like Jessica Andrews of “Who I Am” fame, circa 2001. She was just 17 when she sang about being “Rosemary’s granddaughter, the...

By Alison Bonaguro Watching Tim McGraw do David Allan Coe’s “The Ride” tonight. That never gets old. Ever. About 10 years ago, I started keeping a gratitude journal. (It was an Oprah thing. Everyone was doing it. It was because of that little bestseller called Simple Abundance.) The idea is to write down five things...

By Alison Bonaguro A longtime country fan, Greenspan was watching Nashville Star when she first noticed singer-songwriter Jeffrey Steele. She saw him judging and mentoring and even doing little clips of performing when he was working with the contestants. “He was so good, but he was the only one I didn’t kno...

By Alison Bonaguro I love that Tim McGraw was the host on Saturday Night Live this weekend. I just hate that the writers didn’t give him better, funnier material. I love that he was willing to go hatless for most of the show but hate that he spent a few skits with turkey, record producer and old man wigs on. I love that...

By Alison Bonaguro Remember all those birdhouses country artists decorated and auctioned off for charity? Well, now there’s a new fundraising endeavor in town: Project Paper Doll. And on Nov. 28, they’ll be ready for bidding at eBay. So if you like Brooks & Dunn, you might like the doll Ronnie Dunn decorat...

That’s strange then, it only says Liz Rose as the writer of both, and the song Tim McGraw too. Considering what SESAC is about, it doesn’t stand to reason to leave a songwriter or co-writer out of the credits. Doen’t make any sense. ...

By Alison Bonaguro His fans only know the half of it. But Reese Witherspoon was willing to let the world in on the other half of Tim McGraw. The Hollywood-actor side. Music City TV caught up with Witherspoon while she was in Nashville for the CMAs. And she dished about what it was like working with him on the new movie...

By Alison Bonaguro Did anyone else feel like there was something missing from last night’s CMA Awards show? Like a bigger cast of characters, perhaps? I truly adore all the artists who won, but there were just so many people who didn’t win, didn’t get nominated and, even worse, didn’t even go. Where was Dierks...

By Chet Flippo Fashion was busting out all over at the CMA Awards show. I never saw so many dress changes. Shania Twain was almost wearing a nice dress. Taylor Swift looked wonderful in her gowns. Other items of interest: The Eagles, in their dark suits and skinny ties, looked like a bluegrass band from the 194...

By Alison Bonaguro Last year, I spent hours listening and thinking and totally over-analyzing. And I came up with my top five for the Chicago Tribune: Miranda Lambert’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Luke Bryan’s I’ll Stay Me, Martina McBride’s Waking Up Laughing, Little Big Town’s A Place to Land and Tim McGraw’s L...

By Whitney Self “I didn’t know that story,” Urban admitted. He then added, “That’s actually poetic, too, because I actually did the demo for ‘I Like It, I Love It,’” a song McGraw took to No.1 back in 1997.  ”True story,” he laughed. “God bless Tim McGraw for not getting it,” Keith Urban said about his recent No. 1...

By Alison Bonaguro He’s a guy’s guy. He likes to do guy stuff. But how will Tim McGraw properly scare the boys who want to date his daughters one day very soon without borrowing Rodney Atkins‘ idea of staying up all night cleaning his gun? On today’s Rachael Ray Show, he’s going to describe his approach of backhan...

And Tim McGraw’s were in his “Last Dollar (Fly Away) video.” So this isn’t the first time artists have leaned on their kids for talent, and I hope it won’t be the last. Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where ...

By Craig Shelburne “Ain’t Nothing ‘Bout You,” Brooks & Dunn Even though I don’t know them personally, I am so proud of Matraca Berg, John Hiatt and Tom Shapiro for their inductions into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. I was one of those kids who grew up on cassettes, and I’d always fold out the liner...

Of course I didn’t take the time to count how many other artists got more than one blog for the month of October except remembering it was a good month for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill here at CMT blogdom while I was clicking through. ...

By Alison Bonaguro He was just supposed to throw out the first ceremonial pitch before Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday night. But while Tim McGraw was out there on that pitcher’s mound, he took some of his late father’s ashes from his pocket and tossed them onto the mound.

By Alison Bonaguro Call it a little musical self-affirmation. Jessica Simpson has her cell phone ringtone set to Hank Williams‘ “Hey Good Lookin’” right now. In fact, Life & Style Weekly magazine reports that that’s just one of the classic country tunes she’s rocking on her playlist. She may have a little...

By Alison Bonaguro This is none of my business, but I’m glad Tim McGraw is taking a bit of his own advice and starting to take better care of himself. In his big cover story for People magazine’s most recent country issue, he said he quit drinking. So even though he’s well past 30, he’s taking the lyrics of “My Next T...

By Calvin Gilbert This wasn’t the first time McGraw has taken security matters into his own hands at a concert. You may recall in 2000 when he and Kenny Chesney were arrested after Chesney’s unauthorized use of a deputy’s horse backstage at the George Strait Country Music Festival in Buffalo, N.Y. McGraw shov...
