Tim McGraw - "It's A Business Doing Pleasure With You"

After releasing seven singles off of Tim McGraw’s last album, including ‘releasing’ one as part of an odd 3rd Greatest Hits III release, Curb Records has finally decided to release a new single from Tim McGraw and, as usual with Tim McGraw, “It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You” (listen here) has a jovial melody and lyric that recall the Georgia Satellites’ “Keep Your Hands To Yourself.”  This is the kind of song that both men and women can love and it’s easy to see why Tim McGraw has been so adamant about getting his upcoming album (likely his final with Curb Records) out for fans to listen to. 

One can’t help but think that the lyric, which immediately gets people thinking, immediately hit Tim McGraw due to his relationship with Curb Records, which has often been tenuous over the years.  No matter how the song got to him, “It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You” is the kind of song that shows people exactly why Tim McGraw has become a superstar in the first place.  While not gifted with the greatest of voices, Tim McGraw, like Garth Brooks and George Strait before him, has one of the best ears for hits in Nashville and that’s what “It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You” is, a hit.  And it would’ve been a hit even if some no-name newcomer was releasing this single to radio; it’s that strong and memorable of a song.

I NEVER WAS MUCH OF A TIM MCGRAW FAN BUT I ALWAYS DID ENJOY HIS MUSIC. THIS SONG I DIDNT LIKE AT FIRST BECAUSE OF THE STUPID BACKWARDS TITLE AND IRRELEVANT MEANING, BUT I AM GETTING IT AND IT IS STARTING TO GROW ON ME. HE ISNT THE TOP SELLING ARTIST OF THE DECADE. I BELIEVE GEORGE STRAIT IS NUMBER ONE, TIM MCGRAW IS NUMBER TWO AND TOBY KEITH IS NUMBER THREE WITH LESS THAN 100 THOUSAND COPIES SEPARATING THEM, SO HE MAY SLIP TO NUMBER THREE SOON

Hey Rick think your funny, your not. Why don't you disappear. Tim BTW will be the Top Selling Country Artist of this decade. That should make you happy.

I really like Tim's stints as an actor. In fact I like it so much I kinda wish he'd give up singing entirely and go into acting full time, and take his wife with him...(lol)
