Chanteur Country US né le 1er
Mai 1967 à Delhi
(Louisiane).
When Tim
McGraw debuted in the early '90s, few would have predicted that he would
eventually take over Garth Brooks'
position as the most popular male singer in country music. Yet that's exactly
what he did, thanks to a string of multi-platinum albums, a high-profile
marriage to fellow superstar Faith Hill,
and Brooks' own inevitable decline. His
sound epitomized the strain of commercial country that dominated his era:
updated honky tonk and Southern-fried country-rock on the uptempo tunes, well-polished,
adult contemporary-tinged pop on the ballads. Helped out early in his career by
several novelty items, McGraw simply wound up cranking out hookier hits on a
more consistent basis than any of his peers. By the late '90s, he was not only a
superstar among country fans, but a mainstream celebrity with a large female
following.
Samuel Timothy McGraw was born in Delhi, LA, on May 1, 1967. Though he didn't
know it until years later, his father was baseball player Tug McGraw, a star
relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets who'd had a brief
affair with McGraw's mother. He was raised mostly in the small town of Start,
LA, near Monroe, and grew up listening to a variety of music: country, pop,
rock, and R&B. He attended Northeast Louisiana University on a baseball
scholarship, studying sports medicine, and it was only then that he started
playing guitar to accompany his singing. He played the local club circuit and
dropped out of school in 1989, heading to Nashville on the same day his hero
Keith Whitley passed away. He sang
in Nashville clubs for a couple of years and landed a deal with Curb in 1992.
His debut single, the minor hit "Welcome to the Club," was released later that
year, and his self-titled debut album appeared in 1993 but failed to even make
the charts.
McGraw's fortunes changed with the lead single from his 1994 sophomore effort,
Not a Moment Too Soon. "Indian Outlaw" was embraced as a light-hearted,
old-fashioned novelty song by fans but was heavily criticized for what some
regarded as patronizing caricatures of Native Americans. Despite some radio
stations' refusal to air the song, it reached the country Top Ten and even
crossed over to the pop Top 20. All the publicity helped send McGraw's next
single, the ballad "Don't Take the Girl," all the way to the top of the country
charts; it too made the pop Top 20. The album kept spinning off hits: "Down on
the Farm" hit number two, the title track went to number one in 1995, and the
novelty tune "Refried Dreams" also reached the Top Five. Not a Moment Too
Soon was a genuine blockbuster hit, eventually selling over five million
copies and topping both the country and pop album charts; it was also the best-selling
country album of the year.
McGraw's follow-up, 1995's All I Want, immediately consolidated his
stardom with the number one smash "I Like It, I Love It." The album topped the
country charts, reached the pop Top Five, and sold over two million copies. Once
again, it functioned as a hit factory thanks to the number two "Can't Be Really
Gone," the number one "She Never Lets It Go to Her Heart," and the Top Five "All
I Want Is a Life" and "Maybe We Should Just Sleep on It." Over 1996, McGraw
supported the album with an extensive tour, accompanied by opening act
Faith Hill. In October, after the tour
was over, McGraw and Hill married, in
a union of country star power that drew plenty of attention from mainstream
media. It doubtlessly helped McGraw's next album, 1997's Everywhere,
become another crossover smash; it topped the country charts, fell one spot
short of doing the same on the pop side, and sold four million copies. The lead
single was a McGraw-Hill duo called "It's
Your Love," which not only hit number one country, but made the pop Top Ten.
Three more singles from the album — "Everywhere," "Where the Green Grass Grows,"
and "Just to See You Smile" — hit number one, and two others — "One of These
Days" and "For a Little While" — reached number two. Meanwhile, "Just to Hear
You Say That You Love Me," another husband-and-wife duo from
Hill's 1998 album Faith,
climbed into the Top Five.
With the multi-platinum success of Everywhere, McGraw was poised to take
over Brooks' throne as the king of
contemporary country, a transition that only accelerated when
Brooks confounded his fans with the
Chris Gaines project. McGraw, meanwhile, just kept topping the charts. His
next album, 1999's triple-platinum A Place in the Sun, hit number one
country and pop, and four of its singles also hit number one: "Please Remember
Me" (which featured Patty Loveless), "Something
Like That," "My Best Friend," and "My Next Thirty Years." 2000 brought McGraw's
first Greatest Hits compilation, a best-selling smash, and another Top
Ten duo from Hill's Breathe
album, "Let's Make Love." The song later won McGraw his first Grammy, for Best
Country Vocals Collaboration. Also in 2000, McGraw had a brush with the law when
he and tourmate Kenny Chesney got
involved in a scuffle with police officers, after
Chesney attempted to ride one of
the officers' horses; McGraw was later cleared of assault charges and spent the
rest of 2000 on a second tour with Hill.
Released in 2001, Set This Circus Down (number one country, number two
pop) kept McGraw's hit streak going into the new millennium, giving him four
more number ones — "Grown Men Don't Cry," "Angry All the Time," "The Cowboy in
Me," and "Unbroken" — just like that. In 2002, his duo with protégée
Jo Dee Messina, "Bring on the Rain,"
also went to number one. For the follow-up album, McGraw defied country
convention by entering the studio not with session musicians, but with his road
band, the Dancehall Doctors, a unit that had been together since 1996 (with some
members around even before that). Tim McGraw was released in late 2002
and produced Top Ten hits in "Red Rag Top" and "She's My Kind of Rain"; it also
featured a startlingly faithful cover of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." McGraw kept
the formula the same on 2004's chart-topping Live Like You Were Dying,
utilizing his road band, as well as co-mixing/producing the record himsef. Let
It Go followed in 2007, with Southern Voice arriving in 2009.
McGraw resumed recording in early 2010 with longtime co-producer Byron Gallimore.
He finished the album Emotional Traffic and even toured in anticipation of its
imminent release, but his longtime label Curb refused to release it, feeling it
followed Southern Voice too quickly. The dispute landed both artist and label in
court, resulting in a separation agreement. McGraw landed a major role in the
film Country Strong, which was released in 2011. He followed it with the single
"Felt Good on My Lips," which reached the top spot on Billboard's Hot Country
Songs chart, and was followed by "Better Than I Used to Be"; both were pre-release
singles for Emotional Traffic, which was finally issued in January of 2012, two
years after it was completed and delivered to Curb. He signed to Big Machine for
Two Lanes to Freedom, which was released in early 2013; the album spawned three
back-to-back number one singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart,
including "Highway Don't Care" with
Taylor Swift and
Keith Urban guesting. McGraw wasted no time following up that success,
issuing the pre-release single "Lookin' for That Girl" in advance of his 2014
album, Sundown Heaven.
"Lookin' for That Girl" was eclipsed by "Meanwhile Back at Mama's," a ballad
featuring harmonies from
Faith Hill, and that song was riding high in the country Top Ten when
Sundown Heaven Town saw its release in September 2014. The album debuted at
number one on the U.S. country chart and number three on the Billboard 200 and
generated two other hits: the number one "Shotgun Rider" and the Catherine Dunn
duet "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools." In August 2015, he released "Top of the
World," his first single from Damn Country Music, which appeared in November.
Early the next year, second single "Humble and Kind," an inspirational song
written by Lori McKenna, topped Billboard's country chart. Within the next year,
it racked up even bigger awards, including CMA Song of the Year, Grammy's Best
Country Song, and AMA's Country Song of the Year. Early in 2017, he released "Speak
to a Girl," the first song from a duets album with Hill.
The song peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
The full-length The
Rest of Our Life appeared in November of that year, debuting at number one on
the U.S. country chart and reaching number two on the Billboard 200. Over the
next few years, McGraw kept busy with a series of non-album singles including
2018's "Neon Church" and 2019's "Thought About You" and "Drive." Neither song
was featured on his next album, Here On Earth. Arriving in August 2020, Here On
Earth featured the single "I Called Mama," which peaked at 17 on Billboard
Country Airplay.
Here on Earth debuted at number one on Billboard's Country charts, number 14 on
its Hot 100 chart. Three months after its release, the compilation McGraw
Machine Hits: 2013-2019 appeared.
