Garth Brooks "Garth Brooks" (Capitol Records, 1989) (Produced by Allen Reynolds) A fine debut, which starts off with a couple of nice neotrad honkytonk tunes -- "Not Counting You" and "I've Got A Good Thing Going" -- that might make you think, "hey, this guy's not bad!" Sadly, it's the sappy songs that followed, "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and "The Dance" -- that topped the charts, and thus went the career of Garth Brooks: a guy who really could sing country music, but decided to "modernize" it instead. As you'll see below, I don't care much for the albums that followed, but I gotta say, this one ain't bad, especially with the goofy rodeo songs and shout-outs to Chris Ledoux... Definitely worth checking out, particularly since the majority of these songs never made it onto any of Garth's best-of collections (including a couple of Top Five hits!). For traditionally-inclined country fans, this is Garth's best record.
Garth Brooks-The Hits Full Album Zip
Garth Brooks "No Fences" (Capitol Records, 1990) (Produced by Allen Reynolds) Well, I guess this one's okay... To be sure, there's plenty of corny cheese, but a couple of the #1 hits are fairly decent neotrad tunes -- "Two Of A Kind, Workin' On A Full House" and "Friends In Low Places" kinda work for me, at least if you're bound and determined to find something from the era that sounds okay. In fact, this ain't a bad album... I suppose if I had to recommend one of his records, this would be a pretty good choice. The last few tracks are pretty florid, but otherwise, it ain't bad. (Re-released in 2000; racked up an extra hit with the re-released single, "Wild Horses.")

Vance Joy (born James Keogh) consolidated on that first impression with further anthems 'Mess is Mine,' 'Georgia' and 'Fire and the Flood.' Those hits all found a home on the 2014's debut 'dream your life away.' Vance Joy spent 2013 and 2014 playing clubs around the world before the album was released which then saw him surface everywhere from singing on the American Idol Season Final to being handpicked to open Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour, festivals from Lollapalooza in Chicago and South America, to Coachella, Splendour in the Grass and the AFL Grand Final. After his successful Sold Out 2016 'Fire and The Flood' North American theatre run, and Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House, Margaret Court Arena and Riverstage he took a well-earned rest.
