About

Some artists wait their entire careers to record an album as powerful as 2004’s <i>Live Like You Were Dying</i>. In Tim McGraw’s case, it took a decade’s worth of country music success to reach this level of emotional honesty and creative nerve. This album is easily McGraw’s most substantial work, a 16-cut exploration of faith, loss, endurance and fleeting happiness.
