Tim McGraw is a music lover and has been since he was a teenager growing up in Louisiana. So when you ask him what his favorite album of all time is, well, he gets a bit stumped.
Tim told me in an interview a few years ago, "Boy, that's hard because there are some Merle Haggard albums that would be up there, George Strait albums that would be up there, and the Little River Band's Greatest Hits would be up there. I love the Little River Band; I mean, it reminds me of the beach for some reason."
He continues of the Little River Band, "That's one I would play for my kids when they were little. Every time I'd pull the boat into the beach, I'd play 'Lonesome Loser' as loud as I could. So, that would be up there. One of my wife's albums, gosh. Shoot! 'Breathe' is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, so that would have to be in there."
The country icon concluded with the smile of a proud father, "Probably what would be at the top of that would be Gracie McGraw's album when she records it finally. So, that would probably be one of my greatest albums, favorite albums of all time for sure."
McGraw posted a lengthy tribute to his Uncle (Tug McGraw's brother) on his Instagram last week (7/9).
Tim posted a few pictures of Henry McGraw, one of his in his later years, and one baseball card early photo of when Henry McGraw played for the New York Mets. He wrote, "HENRY THOMAS MCGRAW (HANK) JAN. 21, 1943 - JUL. 6, 2024."
"This weekend, we lost the patriarch of the McGraw family. Our beloved 'Uncle Hank.' He was just an incredible man. He had a way of lighting up any room he walked into without trying. He was a no-bs, straight shooter. Honest and truthful, even if it hurt. A true renaissance man, All American high school athlete, 11 years professional baseball, played guitar, sang beautifully, was an incredible leather and bead craftsman, and more than that, he was a good friend to all who knew him, and he loved with an open heart."
McGraw continued, "Aw man, and he told the best stories! He was and continues to be a huge presence in the lives of our family and his friends. He was a legend and that legend will grow with each passing year in future generations of McGraws! We will keep his memories alive!! He loved, he was so very loved, and he will be terribly missed."
He closed with, "So much more to say about him…. But I will stop for now. (heart emoji) U Uncle!!"
