Yet Another Volume of Hits From Tim McGraw
Curb Records has released Tim McGraw's Greatest Hits 3 -- just two years after the second volume. So, what's new? Not much. Every song on it has been previously released, but it's still a relatively diverse collection. "If You're Reading This" is included, in case you didn't buy the re-released version of his previous album. A concert version of "Real Good Man" is on here, too. Plus, he goes back farther in the archives for "Can't Be Really Gone" and "Angry All the Time," which remain two of my personal favorites.
Along with a handful of newer material, his collaborations with Tracy Lawrence (a duet version of "Find Out Who Your Friends Are") and Def Leppard ("Nine Lives") round out the collection. Yet, his duet with Faith Hill, "I Need You," is missing. And "One of These Days" got passed over again. I guess that paves the way in a few years for volume four. In the meantime, here's Tim McGraw's Greatest Hits 3 on Rhapsody.

Kim says:
Hey, Tim, how about some new stuff? doesn’t that sell better?
Mandy says:
I like the old Tim (slender more musculer body tank top wearing) but I don’t like buying cd’s with the same old songs on them. Tim please give Faith her blouses back. LOL
JonesDrew says:
What is up with 3 GH’s albums? Can’t Tim find a songwriter to actually write some songs for him that will sell or are the songwriters delivering to the young Artists now? More Money and Investments in the Young People.
Courtney says:
You would think that after having your balls touched by fans the least Tim could do is put out a welcoming new album. Tim is like Jon McCain, the Tired Old, Same Old Man…McTim.
bingo says:
tim mcgraw is always great no matter if he puts out another greatest hits cd his songs are really really good. if your reading this i can not wait i love that song!!
Kathleen says:
I like the collection of songs. I love all Tim does. He will have anew cd he has sang 3 new songs at his shows this summer and they are awesome I guess curb isn’t ready to put them out yet be mad at them not Tim.
Kaylie says:
I thought Tim had his own record label? How long is Tim and his fans going to use that against Curb. This is what Tim wanted and now he is paying a price.
Kaylee says:
Notice the story says CURB released the CD, not Tim.
Tim has a new CD that was ready to be released this fall - he included 3 GREAT songs from it on the tour this past summer.
Once again CURB steps in and releases a GH package instead of new music. Curb has done that to Tim 3 times now. They’re trying to squeeze as much money out of Tim’s name before he can actually release a CD on his own label.
Chelsea says:
Curb has the right to release anything of Tim’s due to his contract. Tim new this when he signed it. When you choose to venture out on your own before your contract has expired, You can only blame yourself. Tim is no exception. He made that decision all by himself.
MiaT says:
Oh those pesty, tangled webs of contracts. I will admit that I am a devoted McGraw/Hill Fan. Sooooo I bought the greatest hits vol.3. I don’t even remember some of them being hits. Oh well…. Here is what I WANT. “Tim McGraw LIVE” !!! I want the cd & DVD ! I can’t believe Curb would miss out the biggest money maker yet. I would bet money that that would be a HUGE deal. You see, even though I LOVE Tim on cd it’s nothing like seeing him LIVE!
So hey Tim how about it…or just wait till you are out that contract…
Janet says:
Don’t blame Tim this is NOT Tim’s doing. Its all his label, the digusting Curb Records. In fact even his release of his second GH was against his wishes.
Tim has one more album(Studio album of all new material) left on his contract for this sorry label Curb and they are doing their best to delay it. Also they are strapped for money, Tim is tbeir breadwinner so why not make some easy money putting out these GH albums, they cost nothing hardly to put out.
Have you seen in the stores how CURB is putting all these packages out with older albums of Tim.
They have NO shame, its all about money for them who cares if they ruin Tim’s reputation or credibility.
Every Tim fan should email them and give them a piece of their mind.
What a way to treat your breadwinner and the person that has made you millions.
Tim spent the summer singing three new songs that was supposed to be on his new album of new music this fall. He was so excitied about it. Even told his fans the first single from it would be out in late summer.
Instead his SORRY, SORRY low life label stopped the new single, released Let It Go and scrapped the new album and instead put out this GH album. What a disgrace the label is.
I heard Rodney Atkins in a interview say his new album is finished also and CURB is delaying it and he is frustated that they are not releasing the first single.
CURB IS A LOW LIFE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN, THEY HAVE MESSED WITH Jo Dee Messina’s career, LeAnn Rimes career, ought to hear what Merle Haggard has to say about this awful label.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON CURB RECORDS THE SCUM OF RECORD LABELS.
Janet says:
Tim has had NONE of his GH released when he wanted them too or how he wanted them too. Everyone knows his 2000 GH was released against his wishes, he had completed his Set This Circus Down album and even performed one of the songs from it at the 2000 CMA’s. Mike Curb didn’t release the album but instead released his 2000 GH in November 2000. It was against his wishes he didn’t think he was at a point in his career that he wanted a GH album. That is why there was NO new songs on the CD and NO notes from Tim in the booklet.
In concert in 2005 Tim did some new songs that he stated would be on his new album in the fall of 2005. CURB delayed it and instead in March 2006 released his second GH album against his wishes.
In an interview on XM Tim stated he didn’t want that second GH album released when it was, he had completed his album it was going to be called Train #10 and he had designed a cover for the album since it was to be his 10th album. CURB scrapped that and released the second GH album. Once again another studio album pushed back.
In the fall of 2007 at a festival Tim stated his new album would be out in the spring of 2008 and the first single would be released in January 2008. The single was going to be a song he did at the festival in 2007 called Southern Voice.
CURB instead scrapped that an released Suspicions instead as a single. Do you know Tim was all set to release the amazing song I’ve Got Friends That Do as the lead single from his 2006 GH album and even slipped a demo of it to some radio stations. A song that would of been song of the year and a HUGE hit but CURB releases When The Stars Go Blue instead.
They are messing with his career BIG time, and if you are truly a REAL Tim fan you will speak up and stand up for Tim and don’t allow CURB to destroy his career and the intergity he has in this business. SPEAK UP AND MAKE IT KNOWN TO YOUR STATIONS WHAT CURB IS DOING TO TIM AND HIS MUSIC. iF YOU DON’T SPEAK UP AND SUPPORT TIM IN THIS AND BE VOCAL ON WHAT THE THE RAT THAT IS MIKE CURB IS DOING THEN DON’T CALL YOURSELF A TIM FAN.
Imagain how Tim must feel to have a album that he proud of and finished and excited about enough to talk about on his tour and tell the fans thwe first single would be at radio end of July and at the LAST minute the LABEL scraps it and releases Let It Go.
Tim did that NEW single he is so proud of at that benefit concert with Dierks Bentely. It is an amazing song, song of the year quality.
Don’t believe go to youtube and type You Had To Be There, Still or Southern Voice all THREE news songs that Tim wanted released this fall but his crappy label once again are idiots.
Steph says:
Yeah, but what does that say about Tim’s judgment that he signed with them in the first place? he had to have researched them before hand and known their track record, and still he singed with them. guess even Tim’s decisions aren’t always right. he must have seen so plus side somewhere.
WendyP says:
Yes we thank Curb for Curbing Tim’s Career. Thank You CURB. Thank You! Take control over Tim Curb. Don’t let him out in the real world. He can’t handle it.
Myra Robinson says:
Steph,for your information,Tim got signed to Curb because of his father Tug. that is what happened. Tim gave Tug a demo tape and asked for his assistance and it went from there. and Tim has had trouble with Curb for a long time now,but that is the reason why he started his own company with his good friend and producer Byron Gallamore. and by the way the new album will be out the first part of 09.
ohner says:
people need to know that tim has a life, family and a movie career and will come out with a new album when he finds the time his family should come first and all that do not think so should really get a life he will put out many more great cd’s and he and faith always look great tim and faith have a lot of things going on and to them god bless and keep up the great work
Danielle says:
Janet, I don’t think you should be saying if we don’t speak up we are not real fans. What? Now, that is stuiped. He is a grown man, he can take of his own problems. Apparently they did him well in the past, or he wouldn’t be as popular as he is. Now they are messing with him again, well, that is business & he has to take care of it himself in a professional way.
He said he is working on a album and it will be out in 2009. So, that should make us happy.
He does have a life also, like Ohner says.
Janet says:
Myra that is false infoyou are giving. The truth is Tug did have a demo and met a Curb employee at dinner event and mention about Tim. But it was Tim that went knocking on doors and went to Curb and kept at them. Tim had the demo and went to Curb’s office and Mike Borchetta was the Artist and Development guy for Curb.
Mike told Tim to just leave it and he would listne to it, Tim asked him if you could just listen to it and Mike took a chance and did. He is the one Mike Borchetta that heard something in that demo that clicked with him and signed him righjt then.
Jane says:
Lets face the reality of the buisness, shall we? When your a struggling artist just trying to pay the bills, it doesnt matter who gave who the demo. The contract (paycheck) is what you pray for. After years of hard work and vested time, energy and emotion, you have your dream laying infront of you in black and white. You skim, you sign. Time and experience build wisdom. No doubt Tim is a wiser man than he was 15 years ago. He is the big bread winner for curb, thats a given! And with the economy sliding downward the way it has been, curb saw an oppurtunity to hang on to their investment a little longer and took it. I feel for Tim that he did not get to see his dream of a new album come to fruition, and its a punch in the chest to fans who were holding there preverbial breath awaiting its arrival. Like waiting for the phone to ring when your sisters about to give birth to her first child. But, when she walks in the door with her belly as big as when she left, you feel the pang of dissapointment, yet you know it is an inevitable event, so you wait. So, as fans, we feel the pang of disappointment,(no doubt Tim feels it more like a knife in the back), and yet, we know it is an inevitable event, so we wait. Just imagine, though, what it will be like when it does arrive!!!WHOO HOO!!!

When they move, the collection hardly rustles. Generally, this is songs. Enter his shows without knowing at what point you’ll be proven wrong.
