Tim McGraw Says Label Leave 'Is a Long Time Coming'

Filed under: Exclusive, Country News


A little while ago, Tim McGraw was so disenchanted and burnt out that he thought about quitting music.

"I really had to come to a realization a couple of years ago if I thought that I really wanted to work hard any more, if I really had more I wanted to do," he said Sunday during a press junket for 'Country Strong' in Los Angeles. "After some soul searching, I realized that I wasn't even close to where I thought I could get, so I'm ready to turn the afterburners on now."

That's good news for fans. Now, Tim has to decide who will help provide his rocket fuel. He's close to the end of his long and often contentious contract with Curb Records, and he's looking around at the playing field.

"I've got some really good options out there. I'm at a really good point in my career," he said, adding that he's ready for the switch. "It's a long time coming. Twenty years with any label, I think, is too much, so unless you're really having a great relationship ... I think it's a good time for me to go out and see what's out there for me."
