Tim McGraw & FGL’s Tyler Hubbard Dropping Song This Month

Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard announced they’ll be doing some projects outside the group in 2021, and Tyler’s the first one to reveal one of his.

The singer has teamed up with Tim McGraw for a new collaboration, “Undivided,” which will drop on January 13th. The song will be featured on the deluxe edition of Tim’s “Here On Earth,” dropping this spring.

“Music gives us hope and brings us together in a way nothing else can. This doesn’t mean we don’t have work to do. Quite the opposite,” Tim shares. “I loved the positivity of this song and that it called me to check myself and to remember that love is bigger. It’s why I knew this song had to be my next single with Tyler as soon as he sent it to me.”

Tyler, who co-wrote the tune with Chris Loocke, adds, “I knew immediately when I finished it, I had to text it to Tim. He has a way of communicating with the world that is unique in music,” noting, “For him to want to perform with me was an amazing feeling. The song is about coming together, and that’s exactly what we did.  Check out the song preview HERE.

Brad Paisley Sends Guitar To Nashville Musician Who Lost Home In Christmas Day Bombing

Brad Paisley has helped out a fellow musician who lost everything in the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville. Guitarist Buck McCoy lost his home on Second Avenue in the blast, and shared that not only did Brad contact him, but he sent him a guitar so he could get back to work.

“I went to my Instagram and there was a message, and I was like, this must be some kind of prank,” Buck told WKRN. “You know, one of my funny buddies saying ‘let’s cheer Buck up.’ No, it was actually him, and he wanted to talk to me and he said, ‘I want to hook you up with a guitar so you can get back to work and make a living.’”

After Brad reached out through social media they talked about guitars, music and family for about 30 minutes. Brad also offered Buck unlimited groceries from his Nashville non-profit The Store, and shared Buck’s GoFundMe page on his social media site.

Buck says the gift is helping him get past what has happened to him. “I can’t just sit around and think about it over and over and the memory comes back,” he says, “It’s just, I need to create new memories; I need to create fun experiences; and then water those experiences; and let those old weeds die in the back.”
