Tim McGraw Is NOT Happy About Greatest Hits Album

We were kind of surprised when Tim McGraw released yet another greatest hits album last week since he hasn’t had a lot of new music since the last one. Well now Tim is speaking out about the album and he’s not happy about the whole thing. Tim released a statement yesterday saying:

“I am saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music. I’ve only had one studio album since my last hits package. It has to be just as confusing to the fans as it is to me. I had no involvement in the creation or presentation of this record. Sure, I love the songs and I don’t want to take anything away from all the creative people who were a part of making those records. But the whole concept is an embarrassment to me as an artist. In the spirit of an election year, I would simply say to my fans ‘I’m Tim McGraw, and I don’t approve their message.’ ”

Oh, and apparently the album tanked in sales, which the label is blaming on the state of the economy.

We say good for Tim for sticking up for himself!
