It's "Standing Room Only" for McGraw's video

Thursday, April 27, 2023 – Tim McGraw today released the world premiere of the video for his latest single "Standing Room Only" via CMT.

The single is the title track from McGraw's forthcoming 17th studio album due later this year on Big Machine Records.

The video aired every hour during CMT's video hours today and ran in full on the Paramount billboard in Times Square twice.

Director Andrew Sandler created a montage of life's simple moments with images of McGraw singing from an old car junkyard.

"We're having so much fun seeing how this song hits with people. The response has been incredible, so we wanted to carry that energy through in the video. I love how Andrew and the crew built the car set and lit the junkyard performance. The cars and the lights were such a great metaphor for shedding the past and moving forward."

Written by Craig Wiseman, Tommy Cecil, and Patrick Murphy, "Standing Room Only" was McGraw's biggest first-week on streaming with more than 3 million global streams.

CD reviews for Tim McGraw

CD review - Here on Earth Tim McGraw's collection, "Here on Earth," finds the country star sounding peaceful and down to Earth. He's more meditative than overly active, throughout. It's very much an adult album in that McGraw is speaking from the perspective of maturity, rather than pretending he's still a young man. If he's got any barbecue statins on his white t-shirt, he's not letting on here. McGraw burns through five mellow tracks before he gets to anything with a discernable beat. ...
CD review - Damn Country Music Tim McGraw said of his 14th studio album, "Damn Country Music," "It's is all about passion, (taking him back to 1989) "when I came to Nashville to chase my dreams." Country music has richly rewarded him over the past two decades, and he honors the genre's tradition here. The album gets off to a very traditional start with Celtic folk. The flute and skillful acoustic picking on the opener "Here Tonight" bring a Mark Knopfler tune immediately to mind. ...
CD review - Sundown Heaven Town The banjo comes first out of the speakers, the opening strains of "Overrated," the lead-off song on Tim McGraw's latest. But with a "1-2-3-4" count, the mood changes and goes for a more modern country approach. McGraw does about the same on the follow-up "City Lights" with Michael Landau's steely, but rocking lead guitar taking over near the conclusion as it does later hard on "Sick of Me" where the protagonist contemplates a need to turn his life around. ...
