Tim McGraw and Sony have called it quits. But that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unheard of for country artists and Nashville record labels to go their separate ways. But for McGraw \u2014 one of the most prolific country music makers of our time \u2014 the scenario is an unlikely one. Because he is about as loyal as they come, and has been since he moved to Nashville in 1989. McGraw signed with Curb Records in 1990 and stayed with them for 22 years and 11 albums. <\/p>\n

Here is the brief timeline of McGraw\u2019s label moves in the past two decades:
<\/em><\/p>\n

1989<\/strong>: McGraw bravely moves from Louisiana to Nashville without a record deal.<\/p>\n

1990<\/strong>: Signs with Curb Records.<\/p>\n

1991<\/strong>: Releases debut single \u201cWhat Room Was the Holiday In.\u201d<\/p>\n

1993<\/strong>: Releases full-length, self-titled debut album.<\/p>\n

1994-2012<\/strong>: Releases 10 more albums with Curb, all packed top to bottom with solid gold country music. <\/p>\n

2013<\/strong>: Moves to Big Machine Label Group.<\/p>\n

2013-2015<\/strong>: Releases three albums with Big Machine. <\/p>\n

2017<\/strong>: Makes the move to Sony to release The Rest of Our Life<\/em>, a duets album with his wife Faith Hill.<\/p>\n

2018-2019<\/strong>: Releases two singles \u2014 \u201cNeon Church\u201d and \u201cThought About You\u201d \u2014 with Sony. <\/p>\n

2020<\/strong>: McGraw leaves Sony. <\/p>\n

Only McGraw and his team know exactly what will happen next. Will he start his own label? Will he keep making music? Will he release music without a label? Wherever he does land, McGraw will put the music first, just as he\u2019s always done. And on July 10, McGraw will kick off his Here On Earth Tour with Midland and Ingrid Andress in Syracuse, NY and his album of the same name is still scheduled for a 2020 release.<\/p>\n
