Tim McGraw stood firm against industry elites who tried to cancel his 'controversial' hit
Fox News
Tim McGraw fought his record label to include "Indian Outlaw" on his second album after they called it "too controversial," he explained on "The Tim Ferriss Show."
Lori Bashian is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"'Indian Outlaw' — because I had that song for my first album and nobody liked it," he explained when asked for an example of a song of his he thought was "lightning in a bottle." "The label didn’t like it. [Producer] James Stroud didn’t like it. Byron [Gallimore, his longtime producer and collaborator] liked it, but I couldn’t talk James into letting me record it and I couldn’t talk the label into it."
According to the musician, the label told him "it was too controversial, and it was a bad song," going as far as telling McGraw "it wasn't country music" and would not get played on the radio.
