Tim McGraw Loses Against Curb Records

Posted on by

The Court Rules In Favor Of Curb Records In A Chapter Of Their Lawsuit With Tim McGraw. As many Tim McGraw fans know, he has been in a legal battle with Curb Records for some time now. Earlier this year it was reported that McGraw had won his case because he had signed with Big Machine Records, but apparently that is not true. McGraw and Curb Records had a contract on what was supposed to happen during their partnership and remaining 5 albums with the label. One of the major rules being that McGraw would record albums during specified periods of time. This is standard in the recording industry because it prevents artists from recording multiple albums at once, ensuring that the music is always fresh and gives a label the right amount of time to market and promote an album. Another thing that had been agreed upon was that McGraw and Curb were to decide which songs went on which albums. According to Curb, McGraw Ignored these rules, recording almost all of the songs that went on his Emotional Traffic album before he even released his 2009 album, Southern Voice. They also say he didn’t consult with them about what songs were chosen. There is more to the case, but as of now the court in Nashville has granted Curb Records’ request to postpone the trial until it has the opportunity to take additional evidence surrounding Big Machine Records’ signing of McGraw. For a recap, this is what Curb believes: -Tim McGraw is still an artist on Curb Records’ label; -That Big Machine had no right to sign Tim McGraw until his contract with Curb Records is over; -That the “new music” advertised by Tim McGraw and Big Machine, or that Big Machine may choose to release before the court ruling, is still owned by Curb Records; -When the court does rule, it will agree that Tim McGraw has breached his recording agreement with Curb Records. Finally, McGraw has stated publicly that Emotional Traffic is the best album he has ever recorded. His latest single from that album, “Right Back Atcha Babe,” has recently been released by Curb Records.

Alan Jackson Plays Show For Colorado Wildfire Relief

Posted on by

Alan Jackson Does His Part To Help During The Colorado Wildfires. Last week Alan Jackson played the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Recognizing the devastation the state of Colorado is currently experiencing with wildfires, Jackson expressed his support by partnering with AEG and KYGO/Denver to offer front row reserved tickets at a special premium price – all proceeds were donated to the Denver Foundation (the state’s oldest and largest community foundation) for use by the Colorado Wildfire Relief Fund created and designated by the governor. KYGO announced the tickets were available on the morning of show (Thursday, June 28) and within hours, several thousand dollars were raised. “It’s just the saddest thing. I’m just heart broke about all the fires out here. We really appreciate all the great people that have been helping them out here. They sold some of the seats down here on a special deal to try and raise some money to help fight that battle – whoever bought those, that was mighty nice of y’all and I really appreciate it.” -Jackson told the crowd during the performance. Donations for wildfire disaster relief efforts can be made by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or by visiting the Colorado chapter’s website at www.coloradoredcross.org Photo below by Scott Scovill.
