A slow starter career-wise, Tim McGraw, the illegitimate son of baseball legend Tug McGraw, eventually became one of the biggest country stars of the new millennium. After several failed singles, his politically-incorrect novelty number, "Indian Outlaw," became his breakthrough hit. McGraw's highly emotional delivery, coupled with his high-energy stage show and his knack for selecting excellent material, shot him to the top of the country and the pop albums charts by the late '90s. After McGraw married fellow star Faith Hill, the two became an unstoppable force, scoring hit duets and armfuls of awards, and mounting a top-grossing joint tour.
