生平
早年生涯
提姆·麥克羅的母親是一個叫做貝蒂·特林布爾(Betty Trimble,義大利文名字:née D'Agostino;麥格羅曾因義裔美國人的身份而獲獎)的女招待,他的父親塔格·麥格羅是著名的後援投手,曾在紐約大都會隊和費城費城人隊效力過
塔格·麥格羅遇見蒂姆的母親貝蒂時還只是在一個較小的聯盟中效力。一開始他們給他們的孩子起名叫塞繆爾·提摩西·史密斯(Samuel Timothy Smith)。特林布爾在路易斯安那州門羅市附近的斯達將他養大,提姆·麥克羅直到11歲才知道老麥格羅是他的父親。在少年時期,他一直在當一名歌手還是當一名運動員之間徘徊。
上東北路易斯安那大學時,他最終決定走上歌手道路,並開始在路易斯安那州的俱樂部表演。在大學期間,麥格羅參加了Pi Kappa Alpha兄弟會的Eta Omicron分會(這個分會出身的兩個兄弟會成員後來成為了他的個人助理和產品經理,在Pi Kappa Alpha兄弟會2002年的集會上,提姆·麥克羅獲得了卓越成就獎)
麥格羅1989年從大學裡面輟學來到納什維爾,並在城中的各個俱樂部表演以期能被發掘。
1990年代
1990年他與柯本唱片簽約。但一直到1992年他才推出了一首不太重要的單曲《Welcome to the Club》,而且這首歌並沒有在榜上取得一個較好的成績。1993年,他又放出了另外兩支單曲《Memory Lane》和《Two Steppin Mind》,這三首歌后都收錄在這年推出的同名專輯之中。
第二張專輯《Not a Moment Too Soon》成為了1994年最暢銷的鄉村音樂專輯。第一支單曲是由約翰·勞德米爾克(John D. Loudermilk)創作的《Indian Outlaw》,這支歌一經推出就在樂評家中引起了相當大的爭議,他們認為這首歌將印第安人表現得過於傲慢。一些電台剛開始時拒絕播放這首單曲,但它在周圍的一些印第安部落中卻非常流行,並成為了納瓦霍族的小型電台頻道KTNN的首選曲目。這些爭論刺激了歌曲的銷量,使得這首歌成為麥格羅第一支進入鄉村音樂十佳的曲目,並且它在流行音樂榜中也進入了前二十。第二支單曲《Don't Take the Girl》作為主打單曲進入了鄉村音樂榜的前十。接下來的曲目《Down on the Farm》達到了第二名,《Refried Dreams》進入了前五。整張專輯賣出了500萬張,並一直在Billboard 200專輯榜上高踞不下。提姆·麥克羅還因這張專輯獲得了1994年美國鄉村音樂學會的年度最佳專輯和年度最佳男歌手的獎項。
