TIM MCGRAW (Nominated for Album of the Year.)
Louisiana native Tim McGraw's achievements are as remarkable as they are numerous with nine albums spawning 25 No. 1 singles and selling more than 33 million copies, tours that consistently rank near the top in financial and entertainment terms and scores of awards including 2001 CMA Entertainer of the Year. McGraw's second Curb Records album, Not a Moment Too Soon, began his streak of hits with "Indian Outlaw," "Don't Take The Girl" and "Refried Dreams." McGraw embarked on the "Spontaneous Combustion" tour in 1995 with Faith Hill, and they married a year later. McGraw and Hill had a No. 1 hit together with the duet "It's Your Love." McGraw's albums Everywhere and Place In The Sun garnered him consecutive CMA Album of the Year Awards in 1998 and 1999. "Live Like You Were Dying," McGraw's tribute to his late father and major league pitcher Tug McGraw, spent a record 10 weeks at No.1 on the charts and won CMA Single and Song of the Year Awards in 2004. McGraw's current single is "My Old Friend."
