In May, Tim McGraw released his touching new single, āI Called Mama.ā
Penned by Lance Miller, Marv Green and Jimmy Yeary, āI Called Mamaā is about the special connection mothers share with their children, especially when times are tough.
However, as Tim noted during a press event in May when he was discussing his life under quarantine, you can call mama for any reason, including a hot milk cake recipe. [Editorās note: if youāve never had a hot milk cake, stop reading this and findāor makeāone topped with powdered sugar and fresh berries, although some folks prefer chocolate icing].
āFor us, during all this stuff thatās going on and being at home together and hanging out, thereās been a lot of sort of nostalgia thatās come along with thatālooking back through old photos, and going back and watching movies that we havenāt seen in a long time, and cooking things that we grew up eating when we were kids, and telling our kids stories about,ā says Tim. āLike, for instance, I called my mom because I wanted to . . . make a hot milk cake like my grandmother used to make, so she actually talked my youngest daughter through it, and my youngest daughter made my grandmotherās hot milk cake and my grandmotherās been gone for a while, so. You know, thereās a lot of terrible things going on and itās been hard for a lot of people and a lot of people have lost loved ones, but hopefully the silver lining in all of this is weāve learned how to connect with each other a little bit differently and a little better and maybe thatāll extend to a more personal connection to everybody.ā
