Data Insight
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.
