It’s very difficult to separate Tim McGraw from the country
music charts. Simply put, McGraw is one of the most popular country crooners that’s
too hard to forget.
Samuel Timothy McGraw was born May 1, 1967, to Ann
D'Agostino, a waitress, and Frank Edwin "Tug" McGraw Jr., who served
as a relief pitcher for the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies
McGraw decided to become a singer when he dropped out of
college in 1989. Three years later, he landed a recording contract with Curb
Records, who launched him with his self-titled album. A lot of McGraw's albums
and singles eventually became country best-sellers and chart-topping country
hits.
His second album, Not
a Moment Too Soon sold over 6 million copies and was 1994’s best selling
country album, with his first no. 1 single, “Don’t Take it Girl.” In 1995, the
album’s title track, “Down on the Farm” became no. 1 country music single, while
“Refried Dreams,” joined the top 5 list. The Academy of Country Music
