Sevens Review
Garth's best album in years is also--no coincidence-- his most country record since his debut. The opening "Longneck Bottle," in fact, may be the most country single he's ever recorded, a swingy ode to the temptations of tall cold ones, all to the soundtrack of a steel guitar. Nothing else here is as strong, but the pathetic characters in weepers like "She's Gonna Make It" and "I Don't Have to Wonder" come plenty close. Moreover, "Belleau Woods," a lovely Christmas ballad with a World War II setting, puts Garth's patented earnestness to good use. --David Cantwell

Pretty Good Garth

This is not my favorite Garth album but it is still pretty good. Nothing Garth does (in the country music world, that is) is ever really bad. Some of the songs are a bit cheesy but some are really good. My favorite is "Belleau Wood", and as a history major I appreciate the significance of it. But would someone please tell David Cantwell (Amazon reviewer) and all the other websites that copied and pasted his review that the Battle of Belleau Wood/The Christmas Truce of Belleau Wood happened in the FIRST World War, not the second. It was a real standout moment in the War and this song does a lot to commemorate it.

GB strayed from the root on FH. But this album, clings to the root so much it is mind boggling. Is this GB or George Strait? 'Two Pina Coladas' can sure stand up to WSBF as his worst song. His last country disc was IP. His soft rock disc was FH. S is his blue-grass album. Hopefully, a change is coming!

It's interesting that Mr. Brooks used to be in advertising. Because he has done for country music what the Saatchi brothers did for the advertising industry. And that is to make it big business.

And while county fairs, not stadiums, are the true venue of country music, you can't deny how he's transformed the industry.

In recent years George Jones, the most colossal talent in country music, has befriended Brooks. Maybe Garth will start doing more country shows and fewer rock concerts.
