Customer Reviews

Tim McGraw is Incredible!

Tim McGraw is such a classy guy. He only pics the best song for his albums and for his fans to listen to. He doesn't just pic 10 or 12 songs to fill up a CD. He makes sure they are quality songs, that what I love about him so much. There is not one bad song on any of his cd's, all of them are quality. This book isn't bad either! I'll see you in Vegas in may TIM!!!Brandon

Tim McGraw The Greatest Male Country Artist I Know

Well The first time I read Tim's Book I was at Barns & Noble. I picked the book up and started reading it. I didn't even get through the first chapter before I decided that I had to have this book. Unfortuanatly I didn't have enough Money to get it so I told my parents that I wanted it for Christmas. I was sure that my dad would get it for me but needless to say he didn't. It didn't think I had until I opened my last gift Christmas morning form my brother and his fiance. There it was on top of a pale yellow sweater. I was so excited! As soon as I got ready to go to my grandmother's house for Christmas dinner I sat down and started reading it while waiting on my parents to get ready.The book was so great that I finished it in three days. It told all about his life as a singer as well as his band. The main thing that I liked was how he kept saying that his style and ways of creating his music is different from anyone elses. I have never heard of an artist turn down a song for them but suggest it for another artist. I just think that is awesome of him. It shows that he's not all about him. Yeah he wants to make good music for all his fans but it has to be something that he would listen to too.Another thing I liked about the book was the part that he talked about recording his new album. It was really great how he created the gift boxes for all the guys in the band. He just wanted them to feel comfortable away from home. And all the pictures they have of them recording up there shows that it was hard work but they still had fun. I don't know it was just a great book and I would recommend it to anyone to read.

Entertaining reading at its best!

I really enjoy this book by Tim Mcgraw about the fascinating process he and his band, The Dancehall Doctors, went through in recording this new CD. The photos are plentiful and feel like the reader is getting a private glimpse at what really was going on while they rcored this masterpiece in up state New York. Well worth the cover price for music fans of all ages. Thanks Tim for including your awesome band in this wonderful cd. It is truly your best work yet!Karen(mcgrawaholic)

A Great Look At Tim McGraw, His Band, and Their New CD

This is a great book about country singer Tim McGraw, his band: the Dancehall Doctors, and how their new CD came together. Throughout the book there are many picture of Tim and his band; both from in the studio, and from on the road over the past several years. There are also a lot of quotes and stories told by Tim, his band members, and by other people involved in making his albums and his live shows. The books starts out by telling why Tim decided to record this album with his band, instead of the studio musicians that play on most country albums. There are also pages on each of his band members, who have all been with him for many years. They tell how they met Tim and how they came to work with him, and how they became involved with music. Also the book tells where they decided to record the CD, and what it was like making the record.Before I read the book I thought it might include a lot of information that I probably already knew. However, as I was reading it, I found that it included a lot of new pictures, and a lot of stories about recording the new CD that I had not read anywhere else. As a McGraw fan for many years I really enjoyed this book.

I LIKE IT, I LOVE IT!

I just love This is OURS! Tim really is such a humble entertainer and it is so nice to read what feels a little at times like a diary... or a personal note from Tim. I totally love all the pictures... there are truly some awesome ones in there that are great just for browsing. However, when I received mine - I was totally absorbed in the reading. I did not even look ahead at pictures (didn't want to spoil any of the moments prior to reading what accompanied it all... I have been a fan of Tim from the beginning, but I just LOVED learning more and more about the DHDs and hearing people thoughts through the process. It has a real intimate feel to me... TRUE TIM fans must have this book... and anyone else should have one to learn more about this extraordinary entertainer. He is such a humble man yet a really smart business man. He is not too insecure to share the enormous spotlight with his friends - his extension of his family - his band!
