TIM MCGRAW INTERVIEW

Country music superstar TIM McGRAW is the subject of an in depth feature on CMT Insider Special Edition scheduled to air on Sunday night at 9 p.m. When asked about starting a new record label, SonicStyle records, McGRAW said: "Just to be able to do the things you want to do musically that might not necessarily find its place on a major label for long. I mean, we're doing things with major labels, but Lori McKenna, who is a great singer-songwriter, is the first artist. ... And then we've got Halfway to Hazard [a duo] that's coming out, too. ... As an artist, I love all kinds of music, and I can't cut everything that I love. First of all, I can't sing everything that I love. So to have the chance and to be successful enough to do something like this ... to have a part in making the record and be a part of somebody's career that you really respect, it just gives you a chance to do that. And I'm just excited about seeing people take off and hoping I can have something to do with it."
