Garth Brooks
0 CommentsBrooks releases his first album titled Garth Brooks. Singles include The Dance, If Tomorrow Never Comes, and Not Counting You.
Definitely scared to death. I thought the album was very very innocent. And I gotta be truthful with you, every time I hear those songs off the radio or off the album itself, or even when we play them live. I really get that same kind of scared feeling, that I had, way back in 1988, and 1989. Whether you get the album or not, or whether you have the album or not. Thanks, for just, the interest. That first album is always a big one for any artist and I, without trying to sound egotistical, I’m very proud of my first one.
No Fences
0 CommentsBrooks releases his second album, No Fences. Singles include Friends in Low Places (written with DeWayne Blackwell), Unanswered Prayers (written with Pat Alger), Two of a Kind, Workin’ on a Full House, The Thunder Rolls (written with Pat Alger), and Wild Horses.
No Fences definitely, hands down would be the people’s favorite album that we have done so far.
Ropin’ in the Wind
0 CommentsBrooks releases Ropin’ in the Wind, his third album. The single Shamless is cover of a Billy Joel song, previously recorded on his 1989 album Storm Front.
Ropin’ the Wind was what we called the son of Fences. Ropin’ the Wind was made in this kind of tour that we were on from No Fences. We were gone, pretty much 250 days out of the year. And in that remaining 100 days, I elected to cut Ropin’ The Wind, and try to write for it. This album became a lot bigger than I ever thought it could possibly be. And when I listen to the singles off of it like Rodeo, What She’s Doing Now, The River, Papa Loved Mama, and Shameless, I look at it and stand very proud. And then when I also look at the cuts, Against The Grain, Cold Shoulder, these songs I am equally proud of.’
Wins Grammy
Brooks wins the Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male for Ropin’ In The Wind
The Chase
0 CommentsBrooks releases The Chase. Singles include We Shall Be Free, Somewhere Other Than The Night, Learning to Live Again, Dixie Chicken, and That Summer.
The Chase is definitely the most personal album I think I’ve ever been involved with. This is as much me as anybody has ever seen. It was recorded at a time in my life that was probably the most trying time of my life.
In Pieces
0 CommentsBrooks releases In Pieces. Singles include Callin’ Baton Rouge, Ain’t Going Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up), and American Honky-Tonk Bar Association.
In Pieces was just time to smile. It was time to laugh, it was time to get loud. It’s definitely the most live album that we’ve ever cut. I think the band went to a different level on this. They seemed to play more like a band that had been together for years than studio musicians that come together and play at time to time. So this one is all there for me. I like to listen to it loud, and I just love the stuff like Baton Rouge and Ain’t Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up. From One Night A Day, all the way to the very last song, The Cowboy Song, which is definitely my favorite off In Pieces and it will stand up with anything that I have cut over the past five years. Like the other things, I’m very proud of this one and I hope you like it.
Fresh Horses
0 CommentsBrooks releases the album, Fresh Horses. Singles include The Fever, and She’s Every Woman.
Everyone was expecting this album to be pop. Everyone said we were leaving (country). For the first time ever, I was involved (in writing) in eight of the 10 cuts, so it’s a huge reflection of myself. It’s the things I enjoy singing about. I got to sing about the band on the road, I got to sing about cowboys, and more importantly, the women who put up with those cowboy.
Sevens
0 CommentsBrooks releases Sevens. Single includes In Another’s Eyes, is a duet with Trisha Yearwood.
I’m proud, I’m excited, I’m nervous, and it feels good to be back in the game again. This is a very personal album. I only wrote six of the songs, but there are many that are so ‘me’ that people I work with every day thought I wrote them.
Wins Grammy
Brooks and Yearwood wins the Grammy for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals for In Another’s Eyes.
Brooks, Mahl separate
0 0 Jamie Jamie2014-08-10 00:29:472014-08-10 00:29:47Brooks, Mahl separateTeammates for Kids Foundation
Brooks founds Teammates for Kids Foundation, a foundation that provides financial aid to charities for children. The foundation accomplishes goals by partnering professional athletes, corporations, and celebrities by getting them to pledge or donate money. All the money raised goes to help kids in areas of their lives, such as health, education, and inner-city outreach programs.
Having the cowboys of the Professional Bull Riders as our teammates could not make me happier. They’re premiere athletes and I am grateful for their decision to use their gifts to benefit the kids
Garth Brooks…In the Life of Chris Gaines
0 CommentsBrooks releases Garth Brooks…In the Life of Chris Gaines in which he creates a musical alter-ago names Chris Gaines. Singles include Lost in You (written with Gordon Kennedy, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Tommy Sims) , It Don’t Matter to the Sun, That’s the Way I Remember It (Tommy Sims and Tony Arata).
Brooks has created the entire career of a man who doesn’t even exist—it’s unprecedented and even if you don’t like the music, you can’t help but appreciate what’s been achieved.
Plays for NY Mets
Brooks signs a contract with the NY Mets, and in return, they donate to his Touch ‘Em All Foundation for kids. Mets general manager Steve Phillips:
We are part of the entertainment industry, and I think this will add some excitement to our spring. I don’t know what sort of impact it will have on crowds, but it will add excitement. The most obvious question is what sort of distraction does it cause. I talked to quite a few of our players and our view is the positives outweighs the negatives. If there is a distraction, it might be a positive distraction. The press attention that usually falls on the players may fall of Garth a bit.
Brooks, Yearwood date
Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, country singer, start dating.
This was somebody I always enjoyed being around, and we had a lot more in common than I ever dreamed we did. And so we started seeing each other after the divorce and we came off tour… And I’ve got to tell you if you like her and don’t know her you’ll love her. If you love her and don’t know her you’ll worship her. She’s the real deal.
Retires
Brooks announces he is retiring after he releases and promotes one more album.
I’ve done my career with the old saying, ‘Burn bright, burn fast’. I wasn’t going to be somebody that we could come to really appreciate, like Billy Joel and James Taylor, and know that their stuff was timeless.
Scarecrow
0 CommentsBrooks announces the release of his last album, Scarecrow. The album includes the singles When You Come Back to Me Again and Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?), a duet with George Jones. Squeeze Me In is a duet with Trisha Yearwood.
Somehow we have made a happy, hopefully entertaining album. At the same time, hopefully it has given insight into who we are as an artist at this point in our lives.
Brooks, Mahl divorce
Brooks and Mahl’s divorce is final.
The main thing [is] you can stop being husband and wife, but you don’t stop being mom and dad. You can’t. Because these babies, they didn’t ask to be brought in the world. You brought them in here.
The Lost Sessions
0 CommentsBrooks releases The Lost Sessions, are songs Brooks made but were never published from 1995-2000. The set includes all three of the previously released albums, Sevens, Double Live, and Scarecrow, plus a newly recorded song Good Ride Cowboy (written with Jerrod Niemann) which is a tribute to Chris LeDoux.
I knew if I ever recorded any kind of tribute to Chris, it would have to be up-tempo, happy … a song like him … not some slow, mournful song. He wasn’t like that. Chris was exactly what our heroes are supposed to be. He was a man’s man. A good friend.
Brooks, Yearwood marry
Brooks and Yearwood marry at their home in Oklahoma, marking the second marriage for Brooks and the third for Yearwood.
Yeah, she’s the bomb man. She does it all.
