NASHVILLE, TN  [Wednesday Jun.13.2007]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- Tim McGraw's powerful tribute to families of fallen heroes, "If You're Reading This," performed live at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas, is being released immediately as a remixed and newly mastered recording.

Simultaneously Curb Records will continue to work McGraw's hit duet single with Faith Hill, "I Need You," which currently is bulleted at number 14 on the country radio charts.

DETAILS... McGraw worked with producer Byron Gallimore just prior to launching the "Soul2Soul 2007 Tour" to remix and master the televised performance. Country radio stations immediately began playing the televised performance turning it into one of the hottest records of the year. McGraw has been performing the song live on the tour where it has quickly become one of the concert highlights.

"I want to thank dick clark productions, the Academy of Country Music and Curb Records for working with us to make this happen. It's clear that all Americans have responded to this song and it is fitting that we were all able to work together quickly to release this record," said manager Scott Siman.

"I have had a lot of industry people ask why Tim would choose to do something other than his current single on an awards show. I think it takes a true artist with vision to look beyond the status quo and see what might exist by stretching the boundaries."
