First Listen: Tim McGraw, ‘Emotional Traffic’
This impeccably chosen set of ballads and booty-shakers — finally getting an official release after McGraw’s legal dispute with his label kept it under wraps for nearly two years — shows his range while it honors contemporary country’s paradigms. Working with his longtime partner Byron Gallimore, McGraw has fashioned a collection that’s both sophisticated and sweetly sentimental, with some satisfying twists.
