Since tying the knot in 1996, country stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have welcomed three daughters: Gracie, Maggie, and Audrey. The “Live Like You Were Dyin’” crooner, 58, recently shared a stage with his children as they sang his 2007 song “Last Dollar (Fly Away)” at the Music City Radio. In a family full of talented performers, a collaboration with all five members of the McGraw-Hill clan seems like a no-brainer. However, the 11-time CMA Award winner explained why that’s a no-go.
Tim McGraw Is the ”Low Man on the Totem Pole”
Tim McGraw is currently taking a break from performing while he recovers from knee and back surgeries. The Grammy winner is taking advantage of the downtown to watch his youngest daughter, Audrey, on tour with Brandi Carlile.
During a recent conversation with his record label, McGraw revealed why we haven’t heard a McGraw-Hill collab yet. “I don’t know if they want to sing with dad. I’m the worst singer in the family,” he said. “All of my girls can sing, and of course, Faith is one of the greatest singers in the world. So, I’m the low man on the totem pole.”
Not that he hasn’t tried. “I’d love to do a song with all five of us at some point,” McGraw previously told Entertainment Tonight. “I talk about it all the time, and they’re like, ‘I ain’t singing with you, dad.’”
The “Don’t Take the Girl” hitmaker admitted that his children would much prefer to sing with their mom. “I always say singing with Faith’s like a NASCAR trying to keep up with a Formula One race car because she’s so damn good,” McGraw said.
