label in the mid-2010s, and include the No. 1 country hits “Humble and Kind,” “Highway Don’t Care” and “Shotgun Rider.”
The masters bought by Spirit are for the albums “Two Lanes of Freedom” , “Sundown Heaven Town” and “Damn Country Music” , the three collections McGraw released with Big Machine Records after he got out of a decades-long, increasingly contentious deal with Curb Records. As part of his newfound freedom, obviously, McGraw was able to negotiate a new deal in which he would be able to own his master recordings, eventually allowing this new deal with Spirit.
“There are few artists in any genre of music who have had the level of success and impact that Tim McGraw has,” said Jon Singer, chairman of Spirit Music Group, in a statement. “We’re delighted to welcome Tim McGraw to the Spirit family and to represent his recording interests in some of country music’s most beloved songs.”
