Tim McGraw Announces ‘Standing Room Only’ Album Details

June 23rd 10:05 AM

Tim McGraw has announced details on his brand new album Standing Room Only, which will be released on August 25. McGraw also announced a new song from the project today (6/23) called “Hey Whiskey.”

Standing Room Only will feature 13 new tracks produced by Tim and his longtime producing partner Byron Gallimore. The new album marks McGraw’s first new record since 2020’s Here On Earth, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart.

Tim said in a statement, “As an artist, I always want to dig deeper and get better every time I make a new record – it’s a big part of what drives me, and I really believe this is one of the best projects we’ve made. I’ve been working on this album since 2020, and this collection of songs is some of the most emotional, thought-provoking, and life-affirming music I’ve ever recorded.”

He added, “I’m excited to have ‘Hey Whiskey’ out so fans can start hearing more of what we’re working on – and maybe even more before August…”

    Not a bad tune at all, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as she goes country for the movie “Country Strong.”

  • 29. “Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me” (with Faith Hill) (1998)

    Share

    The song was recorded by Faith Hill as a duet with her husband. It was the second single from Hill's multi-platinum 1998 album, ‘Faith.’

  • 28. “May We All” (with Florida Georgia Line) (2016)

    Share

    A great pairing and a solid tune. It reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in December. It was Tim McGraw's thirty-second top 40 and twenty-second top 30 hit on the pop chart.

  • 27. “Feel Like a Rock Star” (with Kenny Chesney) (2012)

    Share

    These guys have been friends for a long time, having met when they first came to Nashville. They sound great together.

  • 26. “Like We Never Loved at All” (with Faith Hill) (2005)

    Share

    Another classic duet from Tim and Faith. A tale of coping with a love that has drifted away, the song provided the thematic opening for shows from McGraw and Hill's joint “Soul2Soul II Tour 2006,” with the pair singing it at opposite ends of the stage, with their backs to each other.

  • 25. “Bring On the Rain” (with Jo Dee Messina) (2001)

    Share

    A great song where the narrator says that she has had a bad day, but is not let down by it, and is ready for another day as well: "Tomorrow's another day / And I'm thirsty anyway / So bring on the rain."

  • 24. “Let’s Make Love” (with Faith Hill) (2000)

    Share

    The song reached number 6 on Hot Country Songs in Billboard. The video was released in black and white, and featured McGraw and Hill in and around Paris.

    Share

    Just pure McGraw. This song reached Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts.

  • 22. “Just to See You Smile” (1997)

    Share

    Having spent 42 weeks on the Billboard chart, it set what was a record at the time for being the longest-running single on the Billboard country chart.

  • 21. “Please Remember Me” (1998)

    Share

    It’s hard to get these lyrics out of your head. The song was also McGraw's biggest solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 10.

  • 20. “Grown Men Don’t Cry” (2000)

    Share

    This one shows McGraw’s deep emotions when he sings. In the first verse, the narrator pulled into the grocery store, and he saw a boy wrapping around the legs of his mother. She had mascara tears running down her face like an ice cream cone melting, due to the years of bad decisions. That's quite an image.

  • 19. “The Cowboy in Me” (2001)

    Share

    Another McGaw song that goes deep. In this song, he is acknowledging the destructive and sometimes selfish side of his personality, which he identifies as "the cowboy in [him].”

  • 18. “She’s My Kind of Rain” (2003)

    Share

    Tim’s wife, Faith Hill was featured at the end of the video, as well as their three daughters, Gracie, Maggie and Audrey. It was filmed in London, England, and shows McGraw walking with a cloak on, and him performing the song in a royal dining room of a restaurant.

  • 17. “Something Like That” (1999)

    Share

    “I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt, she was killing me in that mini skirt,” Enough said. Classic.

  • 16. “Real Good Man” (2003)

    Share

    The song notes that he may be a "bad boy," but he is a "real good man."

  • 15. “Last Dollar (Fly Away)” (2007)

    Share

    True story about songwriter Big Kenny of Big & Rich and McGraw delivers it to perfection.

  • 14. “Southern Voice” (2009)

    Share

    Any song that namechecks Dolly Parton, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt ("Number Three") is pretty special.

  • 13. “Better Than I Used to Be” (2011)

    Share

    Originally recorded by Sammy Kershaw a few years before McGraw. Tim’s version went top ten in Billboard, Sammy’s did not.

  • 12. “Highway Don’t Care” (with Taylor Swift) (2013)

    Share

    Tim’s duet with Taylor Swift actually addresses how dangerous it is to text and drive. Don’t forget, Taylor Swift’s very first single to country radio was a song called “Tim McGraw.” Also, Keith Urban plays guitar on the song.

  • 11. “Southern Girl” (2013)

    Share

    The song is about girls from the South and how beautiful they are. True McGraw.

    Released this past Mother’s Day. His mom appeared in the music video, along with so many other moms.

    Share

    An amazing song about what is happening in the world in 2020 and how we should all come together.

  • 7. “I Like It, I Love It” (1995)

    Share

    This song is played at every Nashville Predators hockey game when the Predators score a goal. It’s also super catchy and just fun.

  • 6. “Don’t Take the Girl” (1994)

    Share

    Tim’s first big hit and really the song that brought him to country stardom. The song beautifully tells the story of two young lovers dealing with difficult scenarios at three different stages in their lives. In each situation, the man does all he can to make sure that different people "don't take the girl."

  • 5. “I Need You” (featuring Faith Hill) (2007)

    Share

    One of the most recognized duets from Tim and his wife Faith Hill.

  • 4. “It’s Your Love” (featuring Faith Hill) (1997)

    Another Tim and Faith classic. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in its fifth week on the chart. The song stayed there for six weeks.

  • 3. “Live Like You Were Dying” (2004)

    Share

    A song McGraw recorded after the death of his father, “Tug” McGraw. It tells the story of a man in his early forties who gets the news that his father has an unspecified, life-threatening illness. His father's message is to live life to the fullest and do things that he had always wanted to do.

  • 2. “Humble and Kind” (2016)

    Share

    So much can be said for this amazing song. I remember interviewing Tim when this was coming out and being quite touched when he told me he couldn’t get through the song without crying when he recorded it, It took several takes to get it right. The song won a Grammy for Best Country Song at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.

  • 1.”Shotgun Rider” (2014)

    Share

    This is my all-time favorite song from McGraw and I’ll share something personal about it: When my son was about eight, we found this song together and as we drove around Nashville, he was always my “Shotgun Rider.” My boy knew every word of the song and I later asked McGraw himself why I couldn’t get this out of my head and he simply said, “Connection. This song gives you connection.” It sure does.
