Tim McGraw Trashes His Latest Release

st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } Tim McGraw is singing the blues over the release of his Greatest Hits 3 album, which he says he was not involved with at all.“I am saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music,” McGraw said in a statement. “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.” McGraw is referring to his Greatest Hits 3 collection that Curb Records released last week. His previous hits compilation, Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, came out in March 2006. Record companies commonly put such collections out during the final quarter because they’re popular as holiday gift items. Preliminary sales reports indicate this one may be headed for a debut in the Top 5 of the pop album chart.McGraw says he’s been at work on a new studio album that he wanted Curb to release this season rather than a third hits set.“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,” McGraw said. “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.’” Source:  Los Angeles Times
