In the Spotlight: McGraw on Family and the Love of His Life

Tim McGraw may be a country music megastar, but he says he is still adjusting to all the fanfare and he remembers the days when his life was simpler.

"Personally, I feel like I'm just starting to learn how to do this, you know," McGraw said. "You reach a point where you feel like … you're young enough to still go out and sort of rock the world ... but you're old enough to know how to do it right."

And he's proven that he's got the right stuff, as he showed when he and his band, the Dancehall Doctors, rocked the stage at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field for the NFL's Kickoff concert Sept. 10.

McGraw showed his star power playing for an overflow crowd of 50,000 NFL fans at the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers' home field and millions of television viewers.

While McGraw seems to be at home on any stage, he said Bear Creek, his sprawling Tennessee estate, is where he's most at peace.

McGraw invited Robin Roberts and ABC News' cameras on a tour of his family's 900-acre private retreat, where he, his wife, platinum-selling country music sensation Faith Hill, and their three daughters find a refuge for family moments and heartfelt memories.

Robin Roberts' Country Roots

"My favorite bird dog [was] named Fleetwood. His name [was] Fleetwood Mac we called him," McGraw said as he showed Roberts the dog's grave.

On McGraw's farm, Roberts had her first lesson in skeet shooting, a version of competitive shotgun shooting at targets. Then, the two saddled horses for the full cowboy experience.

But for McGraw, really it's all about the song.

McGraw's name has been synonymous with hits. In his multiplatinum career, he has charted 30 No. 1 singles, and sold more than 40 million albums. His latest, "Southern Voice" hit the charts at No. 1. He's won three Grammys, 10 American Music Awards, 11 Country Music Awards and the list goes on.

At his 200-year-old log cabin, McGraw talked about another award few people know about. This one was for his fragrance, "McGraw."

The scent is described as modern spicy with a hint of aged whiskey.

"That's me in a nutshell, right there," McGraw said.

The country star's name has reached even further, appearing on a children's book he wrote and a signature brand of Fritos. In recent years, he's also gone from lead singer to leading man at the box office.
