Sept. 28, 2009 — Tim McGraw’s latest single is the title track from his upcoming album, Southern Voice, and it gives credit to such historic figures from Dixie as Hank Williams, Hank Aaron and Rosa Parks.

Each of them rose from modest beginnings to make a significant impact on American culture, and they fit well with Tim’s rootsy vision for the album.

"I hope it’s a record you get lost in," he told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "I hope it’s a record that you can put on and just sort of melt into. And that’s what the purpose was for it. We wanted a sort of earthiness that when you put this thing on, it just sort of kicks out all over you."

Southern Voice is set for release Oct. 20. It’s already brought him a hit with "It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You."
