Hardy, Tim McGraw, Eric Church and Morgan Wallen become family for massive new collaboration! | Music City Minute
For at least a week, Tim McGraw, Eric Church and Hardy have been dropping clues and Easter eggs on their social media (al la Taylor Swift) leading up to their surprising, brand-new collaborative release called, "McArthur." Written by the “wordsmith" himself, Hardy’s “McArthur” embodies exemplary storytelling synonymous with the country-western genre. Recorded by Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Hardy and Morgan Wallen, the song explores the history and dynamics of the fictional McArthur family over four generations.
Each artists adopts a character from the lineage, with McGraw portraying the patriarch, John McArthur, Church portraying his son, Junior, followed by Hardy who portrays Jones, and finally Wallen, who is the youngest and only surviving male of the bloodline, Hunter. Ending on a thoughtful yet cautious note, the final verse asks, "When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?" Whew, anyone else getting “modern-day” Highwaymen vibes?
