it as soon as possible,” said McGraw. “I’m in the unique position this
year that I’m able to tour ahead of the album and introduce the fans to
these songs early. I’ve never done anything like this before, but in a
world driven by immediate gratification, I want to be able to play a
song live somewhere and then have it available for download right then.
You just never know where new music might pop up over the next few
months… It’s going to be a fun summer!”
