Faith and Tim made a huge announcement in 2017, exciting fans all around that they would be returning to tour together once again on their second Soul2Soul tour.
The couple was also very excited to once again be on tour together. Tim raved about Faith’s talent “when I’m on stage with her, it’s like NASCAR trying to keep up with an Indy car. She’s just that good. So, to watch her sing and see what she does is pretty inspiring.”
Tim's First Hit
In 1994, Tim McGraw had his first hit called “Indian Outlaw.” The lyrics were written by Tommy Barnes and “Jumpin’ “ Gene Simmons (singer of the Halloween favorite “Haunted House”) and included John D. Loudermilk’s song “Indian Reservation.”
The song came from his second album, “Not a Moment Too Soon,” which also featured the subsequent top 10 country hits “Don’t Take the Girl” (his first No. 1), “Down on the Farm,” “Refried Dreams” and the album’s title cut.
Hill's First Hit
Hill’s first single, “Wild One,” in 1993 went to No. 1 and she later released a second No. 1, a vivacious remake of the Jerry Ragovoy song “Piece of My Heart,” best known at that time as performed by Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Both songs appeared on Hill’s debut album, “Take Me As I Am,” the title cut of which went to No. 2.
The two released a long-awaited duet album
Finally, after years of performances together, the country superstars released a duet album titled “The Rest of our Life.”
Released in November 2017, the album made it to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and unsurprisingly topped the country charts. The first week of album sales saw 98,000 copies flying off the music store shelves, a number that more than doubled itself by October of 2018.
An exhibit opened in their honor
Along with the release of their first album together, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville opened an exhibit which honored and showcased their lives and careers.
The exhibit included personal and professional memorabilia. The exhibit was called “Tim McGraw & Faith Hill: Mississippi Woman, Louisiana Man.”
