By the Numbers
Southern Voice was Tim McGraw's last studio album for Curb Records, and he returned to form as a pure interpreter, writing none of the twelve tracks. The title cut, a Bob DiPiero and Tom Douglas song name-checking Southern icons, gave him a No. 1 hit, and the album drew on writers from Chris Stapleton to Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. Byron Gallimore, McGraw, and Darran Smith produced. It went Gold amid a contentious period with his label.
Southern Voice came out on Curb in October 2009, McGraw's first album of new material since Let It Go two years earlier, recorded between Dark Horse in Franklin, Blackbird in Nashville and two studios in Hollywood. Three singles went to country radio, and the title track, a Bob DiPiero and Tom Douglas song that name-checks a long roll of Southern figures, reached number one. It was certified gold in both the US and Canada. McGraw co-produced with Byron Gallimore and Darran Smith but wrote none of the twelve tracks.
