First Country: New music from TheTimMcGraw, MarenMorris, dixiechicks & more
Tim McGraw performs at the 2019 Deni Ute Muster on Oct. 5, 2019 in Deniliquin, Australia.
First Country is a compilation of the best new country songs, videos and albums that dropped this week. Welcome to a special Mother’s Day edition of First Country. God knows country artists love and revere their mamas above all over kin, so our first few selections pay tribute to mom as her special day nears on May 10., who scored a No. 2 Country Airplay hit with “Meanwhile Back at Mama’s” in 2014, delivers another ode to his mom with mid-tempo “I Called Mama.
Written by Lance Miller, Marv Green and Jimmy Yeary, the song was produced by McGraw and Byron Gallimore. “ I think it’s at these very difficult times that music can help and the power of a song can give someone a moment of clarity or comfort, or just a smile,” McGraw said in a statement. “Especially now, when we seem to need it more than ever.” The lyric video includes never-before-seen footage of Tim as a baby with his mom.
An emotional stripped-down performance video of the piano-based ballad recorded in Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A featuring fellow writers Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose and producer Dave Cobb arrived this week. Try to get through the opening line “When you’re my age, I hope the world is kinder than it seems to be right now” without tearing up. The track is the first from McKenna’s The Balladeer, out July 24 on CN Records via Thirty Tigers.
