The Next Five Years offers a front row seat to some of the biggest music events in history
Garth Brooks has officially revealed the cover for The Anthology, Part II: The Next Five Years. The Limited Edition Anthology is available exclusively on TalkShopLive and is on sale now with a ship date set for November 15th.
On August 1st, fans can join Brooks live in his studio on TalkShopLive to hear some of the stories that are included in the Anthology, ask him questions and maybe even hear some new music.
Brooks picks up where he left off in The Anthology, Part I: The First Five Years in 2017, telling his story in his own words and offering fascinating insights to his career and personal life from 1996-2001.
Trisha Yearwood says it best, “The way I see it, Garth spent the first five years of that crazy ride just hanging on for dear life! In the second five years, you start to see a captain steering his own ship.”
The Next Five Years takes an in-depth look at the stories behind the songs and recording sessions for Fresh Horses, Sevens, The Limited Series, Double Live, and Scarecrow. What was it like to record “Beer Run” with George Jones? Let Garth, the G-Men, Allen Reynolds, and Mark Miller tell you. How would Keith Urban describe his first time recording with Garth? Read what he has to say. Which of Garth’s songs was released as the rough mix?
In addition to the music, The Next Five Years chronicles Garth’s 24-hour signing session at Fan Fair in 1996 that demonstrated his powerful and emotional connection to his fans. It explains the reason for the delay in the release of Sevens and Garth’s decision to announce his retirement.
“I learned a lot!” Garth laughs. “The interviews (Bob Dylan, Keith Urban, Steve Wariner and more) just floored me! Miss Yearwood claimed there was a duet version of ‘To Make You Feel My Love’ that only she remembered. But when we found it buried deep in the vault, I was amazed how raw and beautiful it was!”
Completing the Anthology, Part II is a six disc set of musical highlights from albums released during that time — all of which will be heard in a new way after reading about the inspiration for the song and how the magic was created in the studio — plus two previously unreleased recordings.
Fans can also pick up a limited edition three pack via TalkShopLive. The Anthology Part III: Live was released in 2018 and gives fans an exciting, detailed, insider look at the electrifying concerts of the country star. The five CDs on Part III contain 52 live recordings, including Triple Live, and is the soundtrack of the record breaking, number one tour in North American history, The Garth Brooks World Tour with Trisha Yearwood.
