Tim Mc Graw Biography :
Tim McGraw (born Samuel Timothy McGraw in Delhi, Louisiana, on May 1, 1967) is an American country music singer who has achieved many number one entries on the country singles and album charts, with total sales in excess of 25 million units. He is married to country singer Faith Hill and is the son of baseball player Tug McGraw. His trademark hit songs include “Indian Outlaw” “Don’t Take the Girl”, “Down on the Farm”, “I Like It, I Love It”, “It’s Your Love” (featuring wife Faith Hill), and “Live Like You Were Dying”.

Early life :
His mother was a waitress named Betty Trimble (née D’Agostino) and his father was Tug McGraw, a famous relief pitcher for the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies. McGraw’s father was of Scotch-Irish descent, his mother was of Italian and Irish descent.
1990s He signed with Curb Records in 1990, but it wasn’t until 1992 that he had his first minor hit “Welcome to the Club” off his self-titled debut album, which failed to make much of a dent on the charts. He achieved a couple of minor hits including, “Memory Lane” and “Two Steppin Mind”, off the same album in 1993.
2000s McGraw released his Greatest Hits album which again topped the charts for nine weeks. On tour he and opening act Kenny Chesney got involved in a scuffle with police officers when Chesney attempted to ride one of their horses; McGraw was later cleared of any charges. In the latter half of 2000, he and Hill went out on the Soul2Soul Tour, playing to sellout crowds in 64 venues including Madison Square Garden. It was one of the top tours of any genre in the US and the leading country tour during 2000.

In 2004 McGraw first began appearing as an actor in movies with Black Cloud. He played a sheriff in Rick Schroder’s independent release Black Cloud. Then in the same year, McGraw received good notices as the overbearing father of a running back in the major studio Texas high school football drama Friday Night Lights (for example, the Dallas Observer said the role was played with “played with unexpected ferocity by country singer Tim McGraw” ).
