Tim McGraw returns to roots in country
By Erik Ernst, Special to the Journal Sentinel
July 06,
Tim McGraw has come back to country.
When the singer released his album, "Emotional Traffic," it was his most mainstream pop and rock work to date. With this year's "Two Lanes of Freedom," he turned the wheel back toward the genre that made him a star.
Friday night at Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater, he emerged through the crowd from the top of the venue like a rock star. Then he stepped right onto the dusty back roads of rural America.
