Tim McGraw: I've Done Your Homework

Suggested Warm-Up Songs for the Rest of the Tour

When Tim McGraw was in Chicago last weekend, he prepared his voice for the show by warming up backstage. With, of all things, a Chicago song.

You can watch him cover the 1982 hit "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" perfectly because he tweeted a video of himself doing it.

Since I can’t personally be there at the rest of McGraw’s shows, though, I thought what I could do is give him a list of artists from the cities he’ll be stopping in next. Just in case he needs a little help.

For example, his next show is Friday night (Aug. 14) in Birmingham, Alabama, so he could pull one from the list of hits from local resident Sara Evans. Her “I Could Not Ask for More” would sound pretty cool coming from McGraw.

And for the rest?
