Career
Despite growing up in Start, Louisiana, a small town in Richland Parish, McGraw spent a lot of time in the cab of Smith’s 18-wheeler. He would sing songs by Charley Pride, Johnny Paycheck and George Jones in the truck. “By the time I was six,” McGraw told Time’s Christopher John Farley, “I felt like I knew every album Merle Haggard had ever recorded.” He also performed spirituals in church and performed tunes in elementary school plays.
Despite playing in Little League as a child, McGraw gave up his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player like his father before entering college. He met Tug McGraw again as a senior at Monroe Christian High School and agreed to pay for his higher education. McGraw graduated with honors in 1985. Shortly thereafter, he changed his last name to match that of his biological father, although he still considers his stepfather, Smith, to be his real father.
McGraw enrolled in pre-law courses as a freshman at Northeast Louisiana State University after seeing the film Just For All, starring Al Pacino. However, he began to prefer parties to lectures and became more interested in music. He bought a guitar at a pawn shop and within a year was singing in clubs around Monroe, Louisiana.
He soon decided to drop out of school and try his luck in Nashville. His father advised him to finish school first, but McGraw reminded him that he dropped out of college to play baseball. Furthermore, as McGraw told Dave McKenna in the Washington Post, “I learned how to barrel roll in college and I didn’t think I’d take it very far. So even though it was a bit scary, I wasn’t giving up much. I thought I could pull it off.” His father continued to support him as he built his career.
McGraw arrived in Music City in May 1989 with no prior gigs or contacts. However, the market was ripe for smooth, handsome male singers, so he managed to secure gigs at Printers Alley clubs. Within a year and a half, he signed a contract with the publishing house Curb Records. His debut self-titled album was released in April 1993, but quickly went out of print. To gain attention, the record company sent McGraw on tour with his band the Dance Hall Doctors, and his live performance was a huge success. He found his audience with powerful ballads and party hits such as Steve Miller’s “The Joker”.
McGraw released the single “Indian Outlaw” in February 1994, which quickly climbed the country charts and became a radio hit. This, however, earned it an unwanted status as a novelty, as well as a harsh reaction from many who found it offensive to Native Americans. Lines like “I’m an Indian outlaw/Half-Cherokee, half-Choctaw/My baby she’s a Chippewa” and “You can find me in my wigwam/I’ll be beatin’ on my tom-tom” are included into the text.
McGraw replied that he meant no harm and simply used tribal names and other words for their rhyming quality. With shouts, he also surprised the singer who closed his stage with a song for four years.
Despite McGraw’s explanation, Cherokee Nation leader Wilma Mankiller sent a letter to radio stations claiming the song was “overly exploitative commercialism at the expense of Native Americans” and “promotes bigotry,” according to an article by Peter Cronin in Billboard. As a result, radio stations in Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma and Minnesota began to refuse to broadcast it. The Eastern Band of North Carolina’s Cherokee Indians, on the other hand, wrote to McGraw’s management company in support of the song.
McGraw’s second album was released shortly after the rebellion. In its first week on the chart, Not a Moment Too Soon was a number one country hit. Along with “Indian Outlaw”, three other singles from the album reached the top of the charts. The album, as well as the number one single “Don’t Take the Girl,” a melodramatic ballad, won Academy of Country Music and Country Music Television awards. Billboard and others named McGraw the best new country artist.
Not a Moment Too Soon stayed at the top of the country album chart for 26 weeks and sold approximately eight million copies over the next few years. McGraw went from playing honky-tonks to hitting the road as a headliner almost overnight.
McGraw released All I Want the following year, in September 1995. Despite trying to show more serious musicianship, the first single released was the carefree “I Like It, I Love It”. As Billboard’s Deborah Evans Price explained, “It was a cool, feel-good back-to-school song. Not particularly insightful. We released it because it’s a fun song to sing along to that will draw attention to some of the softer songs on the album, which I really want people to hear.” The song stayed at number one for five weeks and the album sold three million copies, but McGraw was largely overlooked at the 1996 awards show.
Tim McGraw’s wife, marriage
Despite this, the Spontaneous Combustion tour, which featured country singer Faith Hill as the opening act, was a success in 1996. McGraw’s personal life was in turmoil by the end of the tour, and he asked Hill, who has a list of country music awards to his credit, to marry him. They were on tour in Montana at the time, and he proposed in his dressing room, which was housed in a trailer. In an interview with People magazine, he recalled the event, saying, “She said, ‘I can’t believe you’re asking me to marry you in a trailer,’ and I said, ‘Well, we’re country singers, what do you expect?’
Hill later accepted McGraw’s proposal while on stage by writing “I do” on the mirror in his trailer, and the couple married on October 6, 1996. Their first daughter, Gracie, was born in 1997, their second daughter, Maggie, the following year, and their youngest daughter, Audrey, in 2001.
