Tim Mcgraw Lawsuit
Country
star Tim McGraw has been sued by bosses at his record label for breach
of contract. Curb Records executives claim the singer handed over master
recordings for his latest offering, Emotional Traffic, too closely to
the completion of 2009's Southern Voice and, as a result, the songs were
not "topical and new".McGraw stands accused of using a "transparent tactic to attempt to fulfill his contractual recording commitment to Curb prematurely in breach of the recording agreement", according to a lawsuit obtained by Billboard.com.
McGraw's contract allegedly stipulates that he must only record albums "no earlier than 12 months and no later than 18 months" after delivering his previous album.
