Tim McGraw to sue music label bosses
Tim McGraw is taking his music bosses to court in a bid to end his contract with the label.
The country star's lawyers and Curb records executives will be in Nashville's Chancery Court on Wednesday battleing over whether McGraw has fulfilled his contract enough.
The hearing will consist soley of oral arguments and no witnesses will be called.
Curb Records bosses sued McGraw earlier in the year for breach of contract, allegin he recorded and delivered his still-unreleased album, Emotional Traffic, prematurely. The label executives claimed they had the contractual rtight to decide on the timing of McGraw's album releases.
Responding to the suit, McGraw's lawyers said: "The label is holding the album hostage from country music in an attempt to force Tim McGraw to serve perpetually under a contract that he has already fully and faithfully completed."
The singer then countersued Curb and asked the court to award him punitive damages, an advance payment for his latest recordings and a ruling that he has fulfulled his contract.
