Tim McGraw mid-’90s singles

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As I've been going through Billboard's singles sales charts of the '90s, I was surprised to see that Tim McGraw's "Indian Outlaw," "Don't Take the Girl," and "I Like It, I Love It" were all top-ten sellers.  

It appears the first two were only commercially available as cassette singles.  So I'm wondering: any differences between the single and album versions?

"Indian Outlaw" says "Radio Mix" on the cassingle, with the "Dance Mix" on the opposite side, but nothing I can find online lists any version info for "Don't Take the Girl."  

And I don't see any promo online for "Indian Outlaw" except one that says, "Unplugged Version."

	I worked Country radio back in the 1990's. The reason there were dance mixes for "Indian Outlaw" and "I Like It, I Love It" was due to the popularity of line dancing that was gripping many parts of the country at that time. People wore boots, cowboy hats, cowboy shirts and boot cut jeans here in Pennsylvania when they went out. Seems like our station had busy line dancing nights 5 nights a week. Nowadays, Country music still popular, country wear not at all. AFAIK, there was only one version of "Don't Take The Girl" that was from the LP. Edited by eriejwg
