Early life

McGraw was born Samuel Timothy McGraw in Delhi, Louisiana , to Elizabeth "Betty" Ann D'Agostino, a waitress, and Tug McGraw|Frank Edwin "Tug" McGraw Jr. , who later became a relief pitcher for the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies . McGraw is of Italian people|Italian and Irish descent on his mother's side, and of Scotch-Irish American|Scots-Irish and distant German descent on his father's side. In 1966, Tug was a pitcher for the Jacksonville Suns , and he lived in an apartment above Betty D'Agostino, who attended Terry Parker High School . The pair had a relationship, and when Betty became pregnant, her parents sent her to Louisiana to live with relatives and to have the baby.

Reared by his mother in Start, Louisiana|Start , also in Richland Parish , east of Monroe, Louisiana|Monroe , McGraw grew up believing his stepfather, Horace Smith, was his father. From the time of his mother's marriage until the time he met his natural father, his last name was Smith. At age 11, McGraw discovered his birth certificate while searching his mother's closet to find pictures for a school project. After his discovery, his mother revealed that his natural father was Tug McGraw, and took Tim to meet him for the first time. For seven years, Tug denied being Tim's father. Tim was 18 years old when Tug first realized how much Tim looked like him at that age, and he acknowledged paternity. They remained close until Tug's death in 2004.

As a child, Tim McGraw loved to play competitive sports, including baseball, even though he did not know his natural father was a professional athlete. He attended Northeast Louisiana University, now the University of Louisiana at Monroe , on a baseball scholarship, and became a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternities and sororities|Fraternity . During his college period, he learned to play guitar, and would frequently perform and sing for tips, although he claims that his roommates often hid the guitar because he was so bad.

His mother, Betty, returned to Jacksonville, Florida in 1987, and Tim followed. He attended Florida Community College at Jacksonville for one term, and occasionally sat in with local bands. In 1989, on the day his hero Keith Whitley died, McGraw dropped out of college to head to Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville and pursue a musical career.

1990s

Tim McGraw

McGraw came to the attention of Curb Records in 1990. After cutting a demo single, McGraw gave a copy to his father, Tug McGraw. A man who was friends with Curb Records executives heard the demo while driving with Tug McGraw one day and recommended that Curb contact the young singer. Several weeks later, he was able to play his tape for Curb executives, after which they signed him to a recording contract. Two years later, in 1992, he had his first minor hit with "Welcome to the Club" off his Tim McGraw (album)|self-titled debut album . Although the album failed to make much of a dent on the charts, McGraw did have two other minor hits from it in 1993: "Memory Lane" and "Two Steppin Mind".

Not a Moment Too Soon

His second album, Not a Moment Too Soon , was much more successful, becoming the best-selling country album in 1994. The first single, " Indian Outlaw ", caused considerable controversy, as critics argued that it presented Native Americans in a patronizing way. Some radio stations refused to play it, but the controversy helped spur sales, and the song became McGraw's first top-ten country single (getting as high as No. 8), and reaching No. 15 on the pop chart.

The second single from the album, " Don't Take the Girl ", became McGraw's first No. 1 country hit, and "helped cement his image as a ruggedly good-looking guy with a sensitive side". The following year, the album's Not a Moment Too Soon (song)|title track became a No. 1 country single, while " Down on the Farm (song)|Down on the Farm " reached No. 2, and " Refried Dreams " reached the top 5. The album sold over 6 million copies, topping the Billboard 200 as well as the country album charts. On the strength of this success, McGraw won Academy of Country Music awards for Album of the Year and Top New Male Vocalist in 1994.

All I Want

All I Want (Tim McGraw album)|All I Want , released in 1995, continued his run of success, debuting at No. 1 on the country charts. The album sold over 2 million copies and reached the top 5 on the Billboard 200. " I Like It, I Love It " reached No. 1 on the country charts as the lead-off single, while " She Never Lets It Go to Her Heart " also went to No. 1 in 1996. " Can't Be Really Gone ", " All I Want Is a Life ", and " Maybe We Should Just Sleep on It " were all top 5 hits.

In 1996, McGraw headlined the most successful country tour of the year, The Spontaneous Combustion Tour, with Faith Hill as his supporting act. Faith Hill broke off her engagement to her former producer Scott Hendricks so that she and Tim could start dating each other; they then married on October 6, 1996. The couple have since had three daughters: Gracie Katherine (born May 1997), Maggie Elizabeth (born August 1998), and Audrey Caroline (born December 2001).

Everywhere

McGraw's next album, 1997's Everywhere (Tim McGraw album)|Everywhere , again topped the country charts and reached No. 2 on the album charts, selling 4 million copies. Four singles (" It's Your Love ", " Everywhere (Tim McGraw song)|Everywhere ", " Where the Green Grass Grows ", and " Just to See You Smile ") reached the top of the country charts from the album, with the last of these setting a new record by spending 42 weeks on the Billboard charts. The Country Music Association awarded Everywhere its Album of the Year award for 1997.

A Place in the Sun

A Place in the Sun (Tim McGraw album)|A Place in the Sun in 1999 continued McGraw's streak, debuting atop both the US pop and country album charts and selling 3 million albums. It featured another four chart-topping singles on the country charts including " Please Remember Me ", " Something Like That ", " My Best Friend (song)|My Best Friend ", and " My Next Thirty Years ". " Some Things Never Change " reached No. 7 on the country chart. He also contributed a song for the Grammy-winning tribute album to Bob Wills : Ride With Bob. His song, a cover of "Milk Cow Blues", was recorded as a duet with Asleep at the Wheel , whom he had met while performing together at the George Strait Country Music Festival.

McGraw recorded two more duets with his wife in the late 1990s, both of which appeared on her albums. " Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me ", off of her multi-platinum 1998 album Faith (Faith Hill album)|Faith , reached the top five of the US country charts, while her follow-up and 1999 album Breathe (Faith Hill album)|Breathe featured " Let's Make Love (song)|Let's Make Love ", which would win a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Country Vocal Collaboration .

2000s

Greatest Hits

In 2000, McGraw released his Greatest Hits (Tim McGraw album)|Greatest Hits album, which topped the charts for nine weeks and sold almost 6 million copies, making it one of the biggest-selling albums in the modern country market. In the latter half of the year, he and Hill went out on the Soul2Soul Tour , playing to sellout crowds in 64 venues, including Madison Square Garden . It was one of the top tours of any genre in the US, and the leading country tour during 2000.

While in Buffalo, New York , McGraw and Kenny Chesney became involved in a scuffle with police officers after Chesney attempted to ride a police horse. McGraw came to Chesney's aid after police officers nearby believed the horse was being stolen and tried to arrest him. The two were arrested and charged with assault, but were later cleared. During a concert with the George Strait Country Music Festival several weeks later, Hill, dressed as a police officer, made an unscheduled appearance at the end of McGraw's set and led him off the stage.

Set This Circus Down

McGraw's next album, Set This Circus Down , was released in April 2001, and spawned four number-one country hits: " Grown Men Don't Cry ", " Angry All the Time " (with Faith Hill), " The Cowboy in Me ", and " Unbroken (song)|Unbroken ". He provided harmony vocals for the Jo Dee Messina song " Bring On the Rain ", which he also produced. The song topped the country charts.

Hungry for more of his music, fans downloaded a version of his performance of the song "Things Change" from his appearance at the Country Music Association Awards Show. The song was played extensively on radio, becoming the first country song to appear on the charts from a fully downloaded version.

Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors

In 2002, Tim McGraw bucked country music traditions by recording his album Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors with his tour band The Dancehall Doctors . Unlike rock music, where it is commonplace for touring bands to provide the music on albums recorded by the artist they support, country albums are typically recorded with session musicians.
McGraw chose to use his own touring band, in order to recognize their part inhis success, and to capture some of the feel of a real band.

All of the Dancehall Doctors have worked with McGraw since at least 1996. They include:

Darran Smith – lead guitar, acoustic guitar

Bob Minner – rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin

Denny Hemingson – steel guitar, electric, baritone, and slide guitars, dobro

John Marcus – bass guitar

Dean Brown – fiddle, mandolin

Jeff McMahon – piano, organ, synthesizer, keyboards

Billy Mason – drums

David Dunkley – percussion

The album debuted at No. 2 on the country albums charts, with the single " Real Good Man " reaching No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. " She's My Kind of Rain " reached No. 2 in 2003, and " Red Ragtop " reached the top 5. The album also featured a cover version of Elton John 's early 1970s classic " Tiny Dancer ", as well as appearances by Kim Carnes on "Comfort Me" (a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks ) and Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles on "Illegal".

Live Like You Were Dying

2004's Live Like You Were Dying continued McGraw's record of commercial success. The Live Like You Were Dying (song)|title track , dedicated to his father Tug McGraw , who died of a brain tumor earlier in the year, was a soaring ode to living life fully and in the moment, while the second single " Back When " was a paean to an easy nostalgia. Live Like You Were Dying spent seven non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard (10 weeks on Radio & Records ), and went on to become the biggest hit single of the year. It also became one of the most awarded songs/records by winning ACM Single and Song of the Year, CMA Single and Song of the Year, and a Grammy.

In late 2004, his unlikely duet (music)|duet with hip-hop artist Nelly on " Over and Over (Nelly song)|Over and Over ", a soft ballad of lost love, became a crossover music|crossover hit,
spending 10 weeks atop the Top 40 chart. "Over and Over" brought McGraw a success he had never previously experienced on contemporary hit radio or rap radio, and brought both artists success neither had previously experienced in the hot adult contemporary market. The song also spent a week at the top of the UK single charts , and was McGraw's first visit to the UK hit countdown.
Throughout the 2005 NFL season, McGraw sang an alternate version of "I Like It, I Love It" every week during the season. The alternate lyrics, which changed each week, would make reference to plays during Sunday's games, and the song would be played alongside video highlights during halftime on Monday Night Football . Later in the year, McGraw became a minority owner of the Arena Football League (1987–2008)|Arena Football League 's Nashville Kats when majority owner Bud Adams (owner of the NFL's Tennessee Titans ) was awarded the expansion franchise.

Let It Go

In April 2006, McGraw and Hill began their 73-concert 55-city Soul2Soul II Tour , again to strong commercial acceptance. The tour grossed nearly $89 million and sold almost 1.1 million tickets, making it the top grossing tour in the history of country music. It was named "Major Tour of the Year" by the prestigious Pollstar Magazine, beating out such heavyweights as Madonna and the Rolling Stones. In a special gesture, the couple donated all of the profits from their performance in New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans to Hurricane Katrina relief.

Tim, along with Kenny Chesney , contributed to a version of Tracy Lawrence 's song " Find Out Who Your Friends Are ", which can be found on Lawrence's album For the Love . Although the official single version features only Lawrence's vocals, many stations have opted to play the version with McGraw and Chesney instead.

McGraw released his eleventh album, Let It Go (Tim McGraw album)|Let It Go , on March 27, 2007. The album's debut single, " Last Dollar (Fly Away) ", reached No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, marking Tim's first No. 1 single since "Back When" in late 2004. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album chart, marking his fourth No. 1 top 200 album and ninth No. 1 country album. His daughters can be heard singing the chorus during the last few seconds of the song on the video.

During the Academy of Country Music awards show on May 21, 2007, McGraw performed a song titled " If You're Reading This ", which he co-wrote with The Warren Brothers . Several radio stations began to play the live recording of the song; as a result, it entered the Hot Country Songs chart at No. 35.

McGraw also produced Halfway to Hazard (album)|the debut album of country music duo Halfway to Hazard . The duo's first single, "Daisy", peaked at No. 39 on the country charts in the summer of 2007.

In the summer of 2007, McGraw and Hill toured together once again in the Soul2Soul 2007 tour.

The unusual pairing goes back to 2006 when McGraw joined Def Leppard onstage for the song " Pour Some Sugar On Me ", and then collaborated on the song "Nine Lives" afterward. The album was released on April 25, 2008.

In May 2008, he hit the road with the Live Your Voice tour. The mainly-outdoor arena concert tour was his first solo outing in nearly three years. Also in May 2008, he debuted a new song off of his follow-up to Let It Go at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California.
