"Set This Circus Down" is the seventh album by country music singer Tim McGraw. Certified 2× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA for U.S. sales of two million copies, the album produced four singles for McGraw on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs charts. All of these singles — "The Cowboy in Me", "Unbroken", "Angry All the Time" and "Grown Men Don't Cry" — reached Number One on that chart. "Things Change" is a studio recording of a song which McGraw previously recorded live; the live rendition charted at #32 on the country charts in 2000 from unsolicited airplay. Another track from this album, the song "Telluride", charted at #52, also without being officially released; this song was also recorded by Josh Gracin on his 2008 album "We Weren't Crazy".
