Record Label

Ronnie Dunn may now be Nashville’s biggest free agent. The singer revealed on his Facebook page that his relationship with his longtime record label had come to an end. “Deal with Sony is over. Next chapter. Moving on, RD,” a late night Thursday post reads.

After a very bitter public battle with his former record label, Tim McGraw and Curb Records parted ways last year just before the release of McGraw’s 11th studio album, ‘Emotional Traffic.’ The project — which McGraw often cites as his most creative album — was a rather appropriate title given the creative turmoil in his career, and the split left industry insiders speculating what McGraw’s next c

The iconic country singer is seeking to cut ties with his record label, Curb Records, once and for all, just so he can have the freedom to get new music to his patiently waiting fans. McGraw and Curb will go face to face in court starting Tuesday to hopefully find a resolution.
