From what I've read before it's only going to be available through is website and only available as complete albums, so no individual songs. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Anyone that has the CD's already can digitally back Them up with available software. But Garth is a Fantastic Singer and Songwriter.

I haven't listened to Garth since the 90's. Hell, I didn't even know he was still popular. I would think that George Strait took that cake...

Garth went away for awhile to focus on raising his kids. He could do that since he's like a gazzilionaire. Recently he did and HBO special that I thought was pretty well good. It will be interesting to see what his new music is like in relation to all the "bro-music" that seems to dominated country music today.

Country is unlistenable today. They have merged it with hip hop and pop. I turned Pandora over to the the regular country station earlier this morning and had to switch back to classic country and Bluegrass.

F You Florida Georgia Line

F You Luke Bryan

You clowns are a disgrace and that ain't country you are putting out.

Garth is real country

Garth's first single (Much Too Young) remains the best one he ever released...

Garth is a poseur. Couldn't hold the King's jockstrap. Anybody that thinks he could probably uses chopsticks.

I liked him until he wrote that stupid song "flyover states."

I like the older stuff like Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Kline and Skeeter Davis.

He's not more of a legend to real country music fans. Strait is still working also.

I don't think that is the premise, is it?

Elvis isn't country.
