Tim McGraw has a reminder for all of you: call your mom.
The Louisiana-born superstar released a new song today called “I Called Mama”. The track arrives just in time for Mother’s Day and is a sentimental reminder of just how important mothers and mother figures can be in difficult times.
“I can always hear her smile when I call,” sings McGraw, “I just called to tell you that I loved you I was missin’ you, and dad, and home, that’s all.“
McGraw even teamed up with American Greetings to create a special Mother’s Day e-card featuring the song.
Brett Young also clearly had Mother’s Day on the mind when he released “Lady” last week.
Young described the song as a love letter to his daughter Presley (“I remember when I first heard your heartbeat, it had only been eight weeks”) and his wife Taylor Mills Young.
In the chorus, Young praises his wife, singing: “You can always run to daddy … but look at her, baby girl and you’ll learn how to be a lady.”
In honour of all the mothers out there, we’ll be featuring these tracks all weekend long on JR Country’s Weekly Top 10.
So call your mom and listen along – Friday at 10pm, Saturday at 6pm and Sunday at 12pm!
