Did Tim McGraw have trouble with the lyrics while singing Southern Voice at the 2009 CMAs?
To say that Southern Voice has been anything but a long-time coming would be a fallacy. Recorded over three years ago with The Dance Hall Doctors once again in place of traditional studio musicians, the record features a wide variety of tunes but like every record released this decade, Southern Voice is a record that very much sits in a meditative pocket. While there are detours into rock themes (The Top 15 hit “It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You”, a song about a jet-setting material girl), this record is very much a reflective record; so if you’re were expecting a brooding, arduous affair, you’ve got the wrong album (and listen to the wrong genre). A majority of the songs have a rootsy feel to them where each of the instruments backs up McGraw as he sings songs like “If I Died Today,” a strong song about what would happen in the aftermath of his death. This is something that everybody thinks of from time to time, basically because we want to be more than just “dust in the wind” a

CMA Awards 2009: the performances Tim McGraw, “Southern Voice.” Bringing some fun back into the proceedings, McGraw seemed to stumble over a couple of his own lyrics, but smiled and plowed through it. It’s a giant, silly, pop-culture referencing festival, but try not to sing along to “Hank Aaron smacked it, Michael Jordan dunked it.” What does it all mean? Who knows, but admit it, you still sing along to “We Didn’t Start the Fire” as well.
