Tim McGraw expresses a new-found freedom in his appropriately named new album, "Two Lanes of Freedom," which was released on Feb. 5.
The country music legend is back and rejuvenated, saying goodbye to Curb Records and signing with Big Machine Records.
Tracks on "Two Lanes of Freedom" seem reminiscent of old McGraw hits fans love so much, but definitely have a new and refreshing vibe. McGraw is able to accurately convey his perspective as a seasoned artist exploring new musical options at this point in his career.
"Southern Girls" is an anthem for southern belles, acknowledging the attributes southern women bring to the table that sets them apart from big city ladies, declaring, "Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a southern girl."
Other noteworthy tracks include "Highway Don't Care," a duet with Taylor Swift, and "Book of John," a personal story about a relationship between a father and son.
McGraw has proved that he is a tried and true artist throughout his multi-decade career and "Two Lanes of Freedom" is a nice step forward to the next phase.
