Country's finest are showing off a little skin - and a lot of charm. "I hate looking at pictures of myself!" Tim McGraw insists. But one glimpse at the 46-year-old singer's ripped abs, which are featured in the new Hot Guys issue of People Country, and we'll respectfully disagree. Equally compelling eye candy?

"Having a little girl and being married, it's not just about me anymore," says Owen, whose daughter Olive Pearl was born last November.

The longtime country singer scores his first No. 1 Billboard 200 album next week with “Set You Free.” The title is set to sell up to 100,000, handily giving it the lead over The Lumineers’ self-titled set, which will sell up to 60,000.
