Garth Brooks

Double Live

Yet another excellent work from a brilliantly talented man.

Review Score:

(10/10)
I find it amazing that people could write reviews about how Garth is the "Kenny G" of country, or how his "twang" ruined his song. Critics are just people who think their opinion matters and who get paid to be snobs. To hell with all of them.

I got Double Live as a gift last christmas and I've listened to it many times, but lately its been the only album that has graced my CD player at all. I was literally brought to tears when I was listening to Unanswered Prayers the other day because all these people were singing along to a song that he, Garth, created. I can think of no greater compliment than to have thousands of fans singing your own songs back to you. The twangy AHBA (Amer. Honky-Tonk Bar Assn) and 2 of a Kind are FUN songs. The twang adds personality and character to the song. And I love it.

Let me also say that I detest most country music. The "tear in my beer" type country is annoying, but for some reason I absolutly love Garth. He has been able to transcend the boundaries of country and pop and bring fans of both genre's together. His concert in Central Park was absolutly incredible and anyone who could pack central park with that many people is more than just a country western star.

Garth, I salute you. My hat is off to you, and I wish you luck in all your endeavors. I'm looking forward to getting "in the life of Chris Gaines."

BTW: it was hard to tell that it was you at first.
