McGraw and Hill are, right now, the prince and princess of country music. Oh, sure, sales-wise, Garth and Shania are still the king and queen, and yes, Kelly Willis' What I Deserve is, so far, the smartest, most consistently worthwhile country CD released this year--but if you're talking young, if you're talking sexy, spunky and--how cool is this?--married, McGraw, 32, and Hill, 31, are it.
