Later presses of Let It Go include the live version of "If You're Reading This".

I just read on another site that "Suspicions" is apparently the next single from "Let It Go". I did not read this in the context of an official press release...but if this is the case I gotta say I don't think they could have made a worse choice for a single!
Did anyone hear that? It sounded kind of like a toilet flushing--must be Curb trying to flush Tim's career. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but come one...."Suspicious"? Give me a break !!! >:( Who the heck decides Tim's singles??? He/she has no business in the music business. F. Why can't he be on a normal label that actually chooses the correct singles?! He hasn't had an album without a botched single since "Everywhere". Amazing. I guess the really frustrating thing about this is that he has about 4 or 5 songs that they could have gone with the are light years better than an early 80's remake of an Eddie Rabbitt song. And this is the last single from the album, presumably. What an f'n shame. I would just as soon them not release any more singles than release this song which should NEVER have been considered for a single. What goes through their head? Maybe I should wait for an official press release before I get worked up about it--hopefully this is just one, awful rumor.
Sorry, that's my Monday rant for the month. Catch you guys later. :(
P.S. Congratulations to Tim on the AMA win.

Congratulations Tim on your AMA win. Amazing. 1. If they were always planning on releasing another single from Let It Go, then it should have been announced at least 2-3 weeks ago. "If You're Reading This" started falling a long time ago. 2. If they were really planning on releasing a new album early next year, why did they change their plans at the last minute? 3. Just about any song on the album would be a better single choice than "Suspicions." The only other bad choices would have been "Put Your Lovin' On Me" or "Comin' Home."

Sorry if my previous post was a bit intense. Just blowing off some steam in a low-traffic area. BTW, you're dead on with your bottom 3. The other two songs you mentioned would have been my other 2 avoids, with Suspicious clearly leading the pack being an early 80's remake of a country-funk song.

I really thought that Tim & his label had settled all of their differences at the time their dispute between the release of his first GH CD and the masterpiece 'Set This Circus Down' (my personal choice as the standout CD of his career) was rectified, until I read in Country Aircheck earlier this year that he and his label were 'still squabbling'.
I'm also inclined to agree with the previous assertion that he's probabbly not too concerned about chart rankings and end-of-the-year chart rankings anymore, which doesn't make any sense either.
After finishing 2007 as the #1 singles artist for the first time in several years, the decision not to release another of the very strong singles from 'Let It Go' will almost certainly allow Kenny Chesney to have a relatively easy path to claim that title for the third time in the past four years in 2008.

I'm not surprised that their still squabbling. I think Curb has made many questionable singles choices as well as pass up on many potential blockbusters. At any rate, Tim probably doesn't care nearly as much about end-of-the-year accolades as artists like Brad, Kenny, Toby, etc. seem to care. However, I do care about what I hear on the radio and getting exposure for what I feel is great music--particularly the masterpieces (in my mind) that are "Train #10" and "Whiskey And You". Having these great songs ignored during a time when I struggle to listen to a country station for more than two consecutive songs is what is particularly troubling to me.

I actually wasn't trying to imply anything, but I can see how my post would have come across that way. That post was directed more at Curb than you. And I don't think your post was too intense. If Curb is really planning to release "Suspicions," then they deserve any and all criticism when it comes to how they've handled Tim.

What label is Kenny on? BNA? I know Tim will be going the Toby route and recording on his own label soon, but if that doesn't pan out, BNA seems to be doing a fine job with Kenny.

So an artist of Tim's caliber has no influence on the singles?

An artist of Tim's caliber gets to pull a lot of strings that an artist just breaking in doesn't, but I don't think selecting singles is necessarily one of them, from what I've heard.

I will say this-- Tim seems to like the song plenty. He sang it during the Soul2Soul 2007 concert and it was one of the few he chose to have played on the Blair Garner After Midnite show on the eve of LIG's release. If this rumor is even true, I have no idea who decided to release this or whose influence was present. I won't say that Tim had no hand in choosing this because he may very well have. However, I'm pretty sure the labal always has the final say in what get released as a single and I would think someone should be savvy enough to say, "Uh...no. We're going to go with something that's original and more relatable to the country audience." Tim's idea or not--cooler heads at Curb should have prevailed.

I also read on this board that a contest or something on Gerry House's show on WSIX led to the release of one of his singles; I think it was 'When The Stars Go Blue'.
Any truth to that?

With the CMA nods out this week, was really hoping this amazing song would of gotten a nod. It came out May of 2007 but was on the charts till November 2007. Was thinking since the cutoff is June 30 it was too new for last year's CMA. How wrong I was, this was a huge song last year and made quite an impact, the Grammy's thought enough of the song to nominate it for song and performance. I have to say shame on the country industry for overlooking this song for a nod, just a nod. Tim performed a free concert yesterday at Fort Sam Houston for active and retired military, over 25,000 people and this song was the highlight. Here is Tim singing this song acoustic to are military yesterday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ap4LN2SdiM

I honestly didn't even think of this song as a possibility for a nomination. Not because it's not a good enough song but because I knew Tim wouldn't get nominated for anything (just like Toby). Oh, how the mighty have fallen. :(

i love this song and it should win an award but i guess there is just no buzz about Tim anymore. I knew he was going downhill when i saw him in concert in 2005 there was just something.... missing. :o

Before the recent bump, it was almost a year since the last post. This song was two or three singles back. Can we move on?
