Tim McGraw Attempts To Cut Ties With Curb

Tim McGraw is seeking to cut ties with Curb Records once and for all so he can have the freedom to get new music to his patient fans. McGraw and Curb will go face to face in court starting tomorrow to hopefully find a resolution. The full trial won’t run until July, but McGraw and his attorneys are asking that he be allowed to record new music with a different label. If his wish is granted, McGraw will release new music in 2012. The hearings next summer will address the suit that Curb filed in May, which states that McGraw breached contract when he recorded his “Emotional Traffic” album too soon after the previous release. McGraw countersued, saying he’s being held in “involuntarily servitude” in the sense that there is too long in between new releases. McGraw signed a five original album deal with Curb almost 20 years ago. “Emotional Traffic” still has not been released, though McGraw has already seen success from a single and a tour in support of it.
