Curb Records wasted no time in retaliating for a judge's decision Wednesday that allows Tim McGraw to sign with any record label he chooses.(See Nashville Stew Breaking News for 11/30) Hours after the judge's ruling, Curb released a Tim McGraw single to radio. The song, Better Than I Used To Be" from Tim's unreleased album Emotional Traffic. The record label had argued in court that Tim delivered the album too close to another release, a greatest hits album.  The judge ruled that Tim delivered the product called for in the contract and was free to get on with his career.  This ruling does not negate another lawsuit for breech nof contract filed by Curb Records against Tim.

Chris Young doesn't mix romance and road work. He tells CountryWeekly.com he's seen some "suggestive signs" at his concerts, but he says he'd never act on any of them. Chris says he's "really focused on work" when he's on tour, and when a woman tries to distract him he'll "shrug it off with a 'thank you very much.'" Chris is keeping his attention on his work by not allowing women on his tour bus, and he doesn't stop by local clubs after his concerts anymore.
