Product Description
He's the closest thing there is to an overnight success in the broken-dream-littered landscape of Nashville: a soft-spoken Oklahoma boy who never considered becoming a professional musician until 1985 and who was handed a recording contract in 1987---ten months after moving to Nashville. His first two albums, GARTH BROOKS and NO FENCES, still ride the charts long after their release, and his third record, ROPIN'THE WIND, made it debut in the number-one slot on BILLBOARD'S pop chart. The entertainer whose seven Number-one hits include "Friends in Low Place", "If Tomorrow Never comes," "The Thunder Rolls," and "The Dance". The devoted family man whose sister and brother tour with his band as bass player and road accountant. The winner of six Academy of Country Music Awards---including the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award. The tender-hearted ex-jock who cried when he first met country legend George Jones. The rebel who bucks the country music establishment and has extended his audience far beyond country's customary boundaries. The cherub-faced "average Joe" whose piercingly honest lyrics and wildly unpredictable stage persona made him one of the unlikeliest sex symbols of the year. 16 pages of Photos included in this book.
