On this Election Day, Tim McGraw has a simple message: Vote.

And one of the reasons to vote, Tim told reporters recently, is that it gives you the right to complain.

"You look around and that's what makes America great, we get to choose our leaders," Tim said. "Vote. Period. No matter what you believe, vote. You can't bitch about it if you don't vote."

Tim recently gave a select group of concertgoers an early listen to his upcoming album, Two Lanes of Freedom, during a rare club appearance in Nashville. The album is set for a Feb. 5 release.
