Tim McGraw Loads The ‘Shotgun’

Featuring support from Billy Currington and Chase Bryant, McGraw’s summer adventure is in support of his 13th studio album, Sundown Heaven Town, his second release on Big Machine Records.  The RIAA gold-certified single, “Shotgun Rider,” has spent four weeks in the No. 1 slot on the country charts.
