Tim McGraw has debuted the video for his latest rock-n-rollin' single, "Truck Yeah," which is the first single release from McGraw's forthcoming label debut album since switching over to Big Machine Records. So far, the new label is working out for the 45-yeas-old legendary country star. The tune debuted at No.22 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, making it the singer's highest solo chart debut ever.
The upbeat summery hit song was written by Chris Lucas and Preston Brust along with Chris Janson and Danny Myrick. "The theme of this song is pretty straight forward. It's for guys and girls who love jacked up trucks," McGraw explains in a statement. "It's a culture, and you don't have to be from the sticks and only listen to country music to want drive a truck, that's why I love the reference to Lil Wayne in the lyrics." The fired-up tune isn't intended to be the smartest song on the radio, but it might be the most fun.
The melody is driven by loud guitars and certainly is from the same school as "She's Country" and "Put You In A Song." It's clever from a sense that it rhymes the truck word along with repetitive 'yeah' parts in the song, that breeds instant familiarity and lends itself to what is probably already a staple of McGraw's songs. "Truck Yeah" may not be a song that says anything that's gonna change one's life but then again, it's a song meant to be nothing more than a part of the soundtrack of a good time, be it at a party or a concert. The swagger of the melody and McGraw's strong delivery of the lyrics makes "Truck Yeah" the hit that it is.
McGraw visited Chattanooga for two days in late August to film the video with director Chris Hicky, with shots of lifted trucks kicking up dust at the former site of U.S. Pipe and Foundry. The site spans a length of I-24 as the interstate passes Moccasin Bend. The video definitely captures the energy of the song, is all about country boys and girls who love cruising in a jacked-up truck, and filled with shots of buff men climbing in their suped-up rides, spinning their wheels and just having a little fun together. As night falls, the trucks surround McGraw, illuminating his tepid performance with their headlights.
