Miami Heat basketball star Jimmy Butler is making a country album. He says he has about 45 tracks that he is working on.

He tells Rolling Stone, “Maybe a week before training camp I’ll get down and do some. There’s definitely going to be an album. That’s the goal. I just don’t know when.”

Jimmy became interested in country music when he was in college and first heard Tim McGraw‘s “Don’t Take the Girl.”
