Big Machine Records announced today the signing of Country music superstar Tim McGraw to a worldwide recording deal. The powerhouse label and McGraw will release new music, which will be distributed globally by Universal Music Group. With over 40 million albums sold and 32 No. one singles over the course of his remarkable career to date, this new era of McGraw’s career will be driven by a dream team of the most successful and dynamic thinkers in the music industry.

“Many people know that I came to Nashville 23 years ago on a Greyhound bus with nothing but a guitar,” said McGraw. “And 23 years to the day, on May 9, I went back to the bus station and officially signed this deal. It was a significant way for me to mark this new beginning. Scott Borchetta has developed a powerhouse at Big Machine, and I’m happy to be a part of what he has built and to call Big Machine Records my new label home. Excited doesn’t even begin to describe how I’m feeling about working on a new album for this next chapter in my career. Here’s to the next 20 years!”

“I’ve always felt a kinship to Tim as my dad (Mike) originally signed Tim to Curb Records. We have wanted to work together for years and I can’t believe this day has finally come. His level of artistry, vision, passion and energy comes along only so many times in any given era and I can tell you with the utmost confidence that there are many, many important chapters left to write,” said Scott Borchetta, President and CEO of the Big Machine Label Group.

“I’m so pleased to add the great superstar Tim McGraw to our incredible Nashville family of distributed labels. Tim’s accomplishments reach around the world and we intend to exert the full compliment of global support to Tim’s new releases on Big Machine Records,” said Universal Chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge.

McGraw will further strengthen Big Machine Label Group’s star-studded roster of talent which includes international superstar Taylor Swift; multiplatinum vocal group Rascal Flatts; award-winning female vocalists Reba and Martina McBride; GRAMMY-nominated trio The Band Perry and many of Country music’s most promising rising stars

Dierks Bentley and Eli Young Band have been touring together pretty much non-stop for the past six weeks. And last week, newcomers the Cadillac Black joined in on the fun. So, what do you get when you put together a bunch of road-weary country stars? Cold brews backstage, according to this picture.

Apparently, the guys were ready to throw back a cold one after their performance in Salisbury, Md. But they didn’t want to drink them the old fashioned way — that’s not how they do things on the Country and Cold Cans Tour. “Shotgunning beers… it’s a #countrycoldandcans tour tradition,” the headliner wrote on Twitter.
