Emotional Traffic is more than likely Tim McGraw's final album with Curb Records. It was actually delivered to the label in the fall of 2010, but has remained unreleased until now while the label cleared the decks with yet another McGraw greatest-hits album. They claimed the singer gave them a new album too soon, which sent all parties into tort court. Finally, though, Emotional Traffic, which McGraw has claims as is his best album, sees the light of day.
