Tim McGraw Raves About Faith Hill’s Voice and Her Influence on His Upcoming Record
After performing 120 shows together, he’s still in awe of his wife’s talent.
Two new Tim McGraw songs hit the airwaves this week: “Neon Church” and “Thought About You.” The singer-songwriter told The Highway’s Storme Warren about the new singles in an exclusive interview.
McGraw just wrapped up a two-year tour with his wife, country artist Faith Hill. After performing 120 shows together, he’s still in awe of his wife’s talent and says that the experience directly influenced him as an artist.
“To me, she’s one of the top singers in any genre of music in the world,” McGraw said. “Every night I’m a NASCAR trying to keep up with an IndyCar.”
In other words, he’s a stalwart performer who often sings his songs in the tried-and-true way, and she’s a nimble, versatile, turbocharged singer.
“Singing harmony with her is one of the hardest things in the world to do because she never sings the song the same way,” he confessed.
He’s grateful for the challenge, though, not just on stage but in the recording studio, too.
“It always makes me a better singer to sing with her, and it really pushes my vocal ability and helps me find new places,” McGraw said. “And I think that reflects on this record.”
