Tim McGraw – Here On Earth (Ultimate Edition) (2020/2021) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

NASHVILLE, TN – Three-time Grammy® winner and superstar Tim McGraw announced today two forthcoming digital deluxe versions of his #1 album HERE ON EARTH – HERE ON EARTH Ultimate Edition & HERE ON EARTH Ultimate Video Edition, which will be available April 16 via Big Machine Records. Both albums are available for pre-order now. McGraw also unveiled a brand-new song “God Moves The Pen” which is available everywhere today. Watch the lyric video here.

The Ultimate Edition features six new tracks, including “God Moves The Pen,” “Undivided” – McGraw’s latest collaboration with Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard – and two additional bonus movie tracks, “Keep Your Eyes on Me” with Faith Hill from the 2017 feature film The Shack and “Gravity” from the 2018 Academy Award ® winning documentary Free Solo. McGraw wrote the former alongside Hill, Lori McKenna and Shane McAnally and the latter with McKenna.

The Ultimate Video Edition will include all tracks on the Ultimate Edition with the addition of videos for six songs: “Here on Earth,” “I Called Mama,” “Gravy,” “Undivided,” “Thought About You,” and “Neon Church.” Full track lists for both albums are below.

McGraw’s original HERE ON EARTH album – his 16th studio album – debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country album chart upon its August 2020 release, marking his 4th straight decade with a #1 album on the Billboard Country Album chart. The album was his 19th worldwide #1 and his 17th U.S. #1, tying him for second most #1 albums in the U.S., just behind George Strait.

Tim McGraw calls his 15th solo album Here on Earth but he’s pictured floating in the cosmos on its cover. The music contained within doesn’t quite settle the contradiction between the heavens and terra firma yet the starry-eyed artwork does capture an essential element of the album, particularly in how it feels as slick and stylish as an airbrushed van. McGraw isn’t rocking in the slightest here, though. Here on Earth rolls smooth and easy, filled with breezy ballads, country trifles, and sweetened R&B, songs that keep the focus on McGraw’s sentimental side. Often, this doubles as his seductive side, sometimes in slightly unpredictable ways, as when he compliments a woman for reminding him about how awestruck he was when he heard Sheryl Crow on the radio for the first time (he would’ve already been a Top Ten hitmaker by that point). A lot of Here on Earth focuses on familial love and long-term relationships, the kind of attachments that deepen when middle age advances. McGraw has long been in this kind of comfortable groove, at least thematically, so it’s to his credit that he allows this record to be so lush it almost seems opulent. The opening cut “L.A.” is so ornate it evokes memories of prime Glen Campbell, and if the rest of the album doesn’t quite reach these heights there’s enough mellow melodrama to hold the listener’s attention even as the album veers toward cozy comfort. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
