Tim McGraw’s Backstage Warm Up of Chicago’s ‘Hard To Say I’m Sorry’

Garth Brooks was one of the first country acts to reveal how he was influenced by pop music acts like Billy Joel and James Taylor. It looks like Tim McGraw was, too, judging by his recent backstage jam of this 80's pop classic.

Tim's Shotgun Rider Tour played a date in Chicago earlier this month at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre, and he decided to pay tribute to the Windy City by doing a backstage acoustic version of the pop group Chicago's song, Hard To Say I'm Sorry.

It's part of a recent trend Tim's been doing as he warms up before hitting the stage. And if you've ever wondered just how good a singer Tim really is, watch this video and wonder no more: there are no microphones, amplifiers or auto-tuning involved here, just Tim belting out this 80's classic.
