生平
[编辑]早年生涯
[编辑]蒂姆·麦格罗的母亲是一个叫做贝蒂·特林布尔（Betty Trimble，意大利文名字：née D'Agostino；麦格罗曾因意裔美国人的身份而获奖）的女招待，他的父亲塔格·麦格罗是著名的后援投手，曾在纽约大都会队和费城费城人队效力过
塔格·麦格罗遇见蒂姆的母亲贝蒂时还只是在一个较小的联盟中效力。一开始他们给他们的孩子起名叫塞缪尔·蒂莫西·史密斯（Samuel Timothy Smith）。特林布尔在路易斯安那州门罗市附近的斯达将他养大，蒂姆·麦格罗直到11岁才知道老麦格罗是他的父亲。在少年时期，他一直在当一名歌手还是当一名运动员之间徘徊。
上东北路易斯安那大学时，他最终决定走上歌手道路，并开始在路易斯安那州的俱乐部表演。在大学期间，麦格罗参加了Pi Kappa Alpha兄弟会的Eta Omicron分会（这个分会出身的两个兄弟会成员后来成为了他的个人助理和产品经理，在Pi Kappa Alpha兄弟会2002年的集会上，蒂姆·麦格罗获得了卓越成就奖）
麦格罗1989年从大学里面辍学来到纳什维尔，并在城中的各个俱乐部表演以期能被發掘。
1990年代
[编辑]1990年他与柯本唱片签约。但一直到1992年他才推出了一首不太重要的单曲《Welcome to the Club》，而且这首歌并没有在榜上取得一个较好的成绩。1993年，他又放出了另外两支单曲《Memory Lane》和《Two Steppin Mind》，这三首歌后都收录在这年推出的同名专辑之中。
第二张专辑《Not a Moment Too Soon》成为了1994年最畅销的乡村音乐专辑。第一支单曲是由约翰·劳德米尔克（John D. Loudermilk）创作的《Indian Outlaw》，这支歌一经推出就在乐评家中引起了相当大的争议，他们认为这首歌将印第安人表现得过于傲慢。一些电台刚开始时拒绝播放这首单曲，但它在周围的一些印第安部落中却非常流行，并成为了纳瓦霍族的小型电台频道KTNN的首选曲目。这些争论刺激了歌曲的销量，使得这首歌成为麦格罗第一支进入乡村音乐十佳的曲目，并且它在流行音乐榜中也进入了前二十。第二支单曲《Don't Take the Girl》作为主打单曲进入了乡村音乐榜的前十。接下来的曲目《Down on the Farm》达到了第二名，《Refried Dreams》进入了前五。整张专辑卖出了500万张，并一直在Billboard 200专辑榜上高踞不下。蒂姆·麦格罗还因这张专辑获得了1994年美国乡村音乐学会的年度最佳专辑和年度最佳男歌手的奖项。
