Data Insight
Recorded live in the studio with his touring band the Dancehall Doctors, this album gave Tim McGraw more creative ownership of the sound but not the songwriting: he wrote none of the fifteen tracks. The material ranged from Craig Wiseman and James T. Slater originals to a cover of Elton John and Bernie Taupin's 'Tiny Dancer,' with Kim Carnes on backing vocals. Byron Gallimore, McGraw, and guitarist Darran Smith produced. It went 3x Platinum, proving the band-driven approach could still sell.
