With 2012 freshly out-of-the-box, Curb Records offers an adrenaline rush to country music's new year with the January 24th release of Tim McGraw's latest album, Emotional Traffic - a studio project that the iconic performer named 'Artist of the Decade' by Nielson BDS proclaims as a 'best ever' creative effort in his more than three decades of hit music.

Creatively collaborating on the production with Byron Gallimore - his longtime producer whose fingerprints are consistently found throughout the remarkable McGraw dynasty of 32 #1 singles and 44 million units of music sold - Emotional Traffic leaves little doubt of the foundation material McGraw's now legendary career has been built on. It's the artistic brick and mortar of great songs and great talent.

The new 12 tracks set fast lanes with McGraw's latest No. 1 single, "Felt Good On My Lips," certified digital gold. His current single, "Better Than I Used To Be," is now climbing the charts and is also included here. Of the sessions that produced the new music, McGraw noted in an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer on August 9th: "...one of the best songs I've ever recorded and certainly one of the best records we've ever made."

A surprise guest artist collaboration from R&B pop wizard Ne-Yo on one of the tracks ("Only Human") brings producer Darran Smith into the miix and adds further credibility to McGraw's visionary artistic reach. Additional stand-out tracks include the catchy and inspiring "Touchdown Jesus" (written by Rhett Atkins, Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip, and "I Will Not Fall Down" - penned by McGraw, Martina McBride and The Warren Brothers, Brett & Brad).

Curb Records is set to further announce the availability of two digital single releases from the new package, which will be exclusive to iTunes and available prior to Emotional Traffic reaching its official in-store street date of Tuesday, January 24th.
