Country, pop or rock ‘n’ roll, whatever you want to label him, Garth Brooks is on the road, and he’s gonna party ’til it’s 1999.

On support of yet another mulit-platinum record, Fresh Horses, Brooks set out on the three-year adventure in March, right around the time he became the number one selling solo artist of all time.

It is estimated that by the end of this year alone, Brooks will have played for over 4 million fans. It has even been reported that at a recent Brook’s show in Birmingham, Ala., the crowd was screaming so loud that for a great deal of the concert it was impossible to hear him sing.

While it took the Beatles, the top selling group of all time, 32 years to sell 71 million albums, Brooks has released eight records in seven years and has sold more than 60 million to date.

Brooks has broken nearly every record possible and has managed to play at nearly every major city on the map. Although there has been speculation of a soon-to-come retirement, he has shown no signs of backing off.

Brooks will continue to do to country music what Einstein did to science. And all for one reason—it’s fun.

“If it ain’t fun,” Brooks said in a press release. “It ain’t me.”

That explains Fresh Horses, which is said to be his most fun record yet.

“Something important happened to me in the past year,” he said. “I’m not even sure exactly when, but I finally realized I was never going to be a Whitney Houston or a Michael Bolton. I decided to just lighten up and go in and have a good time making music.

“Every album has something that sets it apart for me. In the case of Fresh Horses, it was the hardest to let go. It hurt so much to stop the whole process I cried when it was all over.”

Whether it’s tears or laughter, Fresh Horses plows through a plethora of emotions, including those from his beginning days as a musician. Brooks said in his latest press release that Fresh Horses hauntingly reminded him of the original Garth Brooks disc.

“The Old Stuff,” the first track on the new disc, is both a look back at the days when Brooks was traveling around in a little rental van and a thank you to his audience for keeping his “old stuff” new.

“I’ve been thinking about those first days out on the road,” he said. “The first place we ever played was Detroit, so I started the song there. I didn’t have a band yet, and the studio musicians who worked on my first album played the show with me.”

Brooks also tips his hat in the tune to Joe Harris, the booking agent who took a chance with him a decade ago. “Uncle Joe you know we owe it to you,” he sings in the song.

Other than just the normal country western flavor, Fresh Horses also mixes in a splice of what Brooks has coined “garage country.” Brooks performs “The Fever,” the re-working of an old Aerosmith song, and his band uses a very stripped down version of a guitar, bass, drums and fiddle.

“The Beaches of Cheyenne,” shows a new side of country with its Jimmy Buffet-meets-George Strait-style.

“I was thinking along the lines of a guy who lives at the beach but dreams of being a cowboy,” Brooks said. “All of a sudden an entire different, and much darker, scenario started happening.

“This song really connects my music from 1986 to 1996.”

Behind the faith of Harris, Brooks toured for two years before recording his debut, Garth Brooks. With help from “The Dance” and “If Tomorrow Never Comes,” the 1989 disc became the best selling country album of the 1980s with sales in excess of 6 million.

Brooks opened up the world to “Friends In Low Places,” with the release of No Fences in 1990. “The Thunder Rolls,” and the spousal abuse theme video that went along with it, helped the album sell more than 13 million copies world wide.

Ropin’ The Wind was released in 1991 and included five number-one singles including “Rodeo,” “The River” and Billy Joel’s “Shameless.” Ropin’ made history as the first album in history to debut at number one on both the Billboard Top 200 and Billboard Country charts.

In 1992, Brooks premiered two records, the Christmas album, Beyond The Season, and The Chase which debuted at number one on both charts.

Brooks won Billboard’s Pop Album Artist of the Year award and was given a special achievement award by the Academy of Country Music for a song he wrote with Stephanie Davis about being in Los Angeles during the 1992 riots.

Brooks released In Pieces in 1993, giving way to his most successful single, “Ain’t Going Down (‘Til The Sun Comes Up).” His The Hits collection was released the following year, just in time for a world tour that sold out in all 13 countries he visited.

Brooks will bring his world famous show to Hilton for three dates this weekend. Performances beginning tonight through Saturday are scheduled to start at 8 p.m.

All three shows are sold out.
