Emotional Traffic, the highly anticipated & long awaited new album that Tim McGraw proclaims “his best ever,” hits the shelves on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012. The album includes the number one single “Felt Good On My Lips” as well as the new single, “Better Than I Used To Be.”  The album also includes “I Will Not Fall Down” which is a song written with Martina McBride & The Warren Brothers.

Tracks that stand out when listening to the album include “Halo” which brings back that good old fashioned Tim McGraw sound, as well as “Only Human” which features Pop/R&B star Ne-Yo.  Emotional Traffic features seasoned song writers The Warren Brothers, Dallas Davidson, & Rhett Atkins.
