Tim’s First Hit
In 1994, Tim McGraw had his first hit called “Indian Outlaw.” The lyrics were written by Tommy Barnes and “Jumpin’ “ Gene Simmons (singer of the Halloween favorite “Haunted House”) and included John D. Loudermilk’s song “Indian Reservation.”
The song came from his second album, “Not a Moment Too Soon,” which also featured the subsequent top 10 country hits “Don’t Take the Girl” (his first No. 1), “Down on the Farm,” “Refried Dreams” and the album’s title cut.
Declined By Reba
Faith’s vocal abilities were evident early on and she used to make her rounds at churches, performing.
At age 17, she formed a band that played on local rodeos. At the age of 19, she quit college to move to Nashville and pursue her dreams of being a country singer. She auditioned to be a backup singer for Reba Mcentire but didn’t make the cut. But Faith didn’t give up just then.
Shattering Her World
Faith hasn’t spoke much about her marriage to Daniel Hill, whom she met after moving to Nashville. After opening up a bit, Faith confessed that meeting her birth mother for the first time was a shattering experience that shook her world.
It caused her to want a clean slate in everything, including romance. “I was going through so much. I was like a flower trying to bud. Marriage wasn’t what I needed. It was a disguise.”
Hill's First Hit
Hill’s first single, “Wild One,” in 1993 went to No. 1 and she later released a second No. 1, a vivacious remake of the Jerry Ragovoy song “Piece of My Heart,” best known at that time as performed by Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Both songs appeared on Hill’s debut album, “Take Me As I Am,” the title cut of which went to No. 2.
Return To Tour
Faith and Tim made a huge announcement in 2017, exciting fans all around that they would be returning to tour together once again on their second Soul2Soul tour.
The couple was also very excited to once again be on tour together. Tim raved about Faith’s talent “when I’m on stage with her, it’s like NASCAR trying to keep up with an Indy car. She’s just that good. So, to watch her sing and see what she does is pretty inspiring.”
