Tim McGraw has a music career that has covered nearly 30 years. He admits that his approach to how he performs songs has evolved as he has aged.

“When you’re 26 years old, you know, you’re looking for a good song at that point, and you hope you perform it well. And you’re tryin’ to make good music and you’re trying to learn as you go, and everything sort of goes by you a little bit differently than it does when you’ve lived more life and you have your own kids and you have your own family and you’re looking back at it. Now, I feel like it’s a lot more personal than it used to be when I was young. When life steps in and really gets into the cracks of your life and causes the cracks in your face, that’s where the beauty comes from, I think in a lot of ways.”

Tim’s approach must be working since his latest single “7500 OBO” is climbing the Billboard Country Airplay singles chart at number 17 this week.
