After a long wait by fans, and Tim McGraw, the "new" album will be out Jan. 24!A court-ordered release of "Emotional Traffic" did not bring an end to the legal war between McGraw and Curb Records, but the battle over releasing the album has been won by McGraw. The new album features 12 new songs, one of which has R & B's Ne-Yo:
1. Halo
2. Right Back Actha Babe
3. One Part, Two Part
4. I Will Not Fall Down
5. The One
6. Better Than I Used To Be
7. Touchdown Jesus
8. The One That Got Away
9. Felt Good On My Lips
10. Hey Now
11. Only Human
12. Die By My Own Hand
You might recognize "Felt Good On My Lips" from 2010's "Number One Hits". (FYI: You know, this might be the first time a single appears on a 'hits' compilation before it does on the actual album.) The lead-off single, "Better Than I Used To Be", is a cover of Sammy Kershaw's version released in August 2010. Though the single failed to make a splash on most charts for Kershaw, McGraw's version is quickly making its way to #1. Combining his hit-making team from the past with new collaborations with Martina McBride and the Warren Brothers, "Emotional Traffic" is shaping up to be one of Tim McGraw's best albums - perhaps one of the best the country music industry has seen in a few years.
I'm excited! Look for the album on shelves Jan. 24. In the meantime, enjoy "Better Than I Used To Be" by clicking on the single's artwork. Enjoy!
