Tim Rocks with Def Leppard

1/22/2008 Stephen L. Betts   Though he’s a country-music superstar, Tim McGraw has dabbled in other musical genres - and he’s about to do it again. Tim’s interest in pop and rock led him to record a version of the Elton John classic, “Tiny Dancer.” And his collaboration with hip-hop artist Nelly (“Over and Over”) was one of the most talked about pairings of 2004. Now Tim teams up with Def Leppard on “Nine Lives,” a track from the rock band’s Songs from the Sparkle Lounge album, due for release on March 18. Tim previously performed with Def Leppard at the Hollywood Bowl, joining them for their hit “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”
