Tim McGraw stood firm against industry elites who tried to cancel his 'controversial' hit
Tim McGraw reflects on the challenges he faced from his label regarding his controversial song 'Indian Outlaw' and his determination to include it on his album.
In a recent interview on 'The Tim Ferriss Show,' country singer Tim McGraw recounted the struggles he faced with his song 'Indian Outlaw,' which he described as the most 'controversial' track of his career. McGraw shared that when he first brought the song to his label for his debut album, he faced significant pushback. The label and some industry professionals believed that the song was too controversial and not representative of country music, leading to their initial refusal to allow him to record it. Only his longtime collaborator, Byron Gallimore, supported the song, while the producer, James Stroud, expressed skepticism about its viability.
