Product Description

CD Description

Loaded with the populist and humanist touches that differentiate his brand of modern country from that of the Nashvilleboy-crooners riding his coat-tails, FRESH HORSES continues Garth Brooks' streak of exciting, fresh-faced albums. It's not just that the Oklahoma-born singer has created a platformthat offers something for every country music connoisseur--the instrumentation and song structures nod toward the traditional, the booming sound hints at southern fried and arena-rock, the lyrical stance is as progressive as Music City gets--but the fact that Brooks clearly reaches out to each of these constituencies, and is quite natural doing it.
AmongGarth's contributions to country has been the infusion of that old-time rock and roll spirit to Nashville's age-old conventions. On FRESH HORSES, Brooks once again drinks from that fruitful well with memorable results. "The Old Stuff" is areminiscence about life on the road "back when the old stuff was new", and gives guitarists Chris Leuzinger and Gordon Kennedy some space to do a Silver Bullet Band-styled battle with Bobby Wood's keyboard; "The Fever" updates an old Aerosmith thrasher for the rodeo set; and "Rollin'", a portrait of a female trucker's life on the road, is a hard-driving piece of honky-tonk with a vocal that's pure Elvis.
That woman behind the wheel brings up another point that separates Brooks and FRESH HORSES from country's other hunk-alikes: thestrength of his female characters. The fate-bitten, single mother nurturingly caring for her offspring ("That Ol' Wind"), the wife drifting into the sunset after the sudden demiseof her one true love ("The Beaches Of Cheyenne") and the trucker choosing her own path rather than letting her man do it for her ("Rollin'") leap above easy cliches, and embody the respect Brooks approaches the so-called fairer sex with. This makes him not only a talented country star, but one who's easy to admire.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Legend, 17 Dec 2006

(REAL NAME)   
Garth Brooks - Fresh Horses

This is Garth Brook's Sixth studio album. Fresh Horses was released in 1995, and went on to sell over six million copies in the US alone.

Fresh Horses continues the rise of Garth Brook's to "legend".

A fantastic fresh albums, Full of upbeat and slow ballads, and has a strong mix of rock and pop and of course country.

"The Beaches of Cheyenne" is a fantastic love song which covers the cruel world of loss and pain, and I think this is my favourite on the cd.

"Cowboys and Angels" and "That ol' Wind" are great ballads and I really like "Beaches of Cheyenne" and the song "The Change" is a great ballad that will pull at the heart strings, also Garth does a old Areosmith cover "The Fever" this time he mixes it with a rock influence to it, Very good version to be honest.

Other tracks I liked are "Ireland" which is all about being in the war and wanting to go home.

"Rollin'" is a great song all about a female trucker's life on the road, "It's Midnight Cinderella" is also a catchy soft rock tempo song.

It's not my personal favourite of Garth Brooks but it's still a very good album.

The cd I bought has the lyrics inside a glossy book :)

This is a must for all Garth brooks fans.

The tracks on the cd are

1. Old Stuff
2. Cowboys and Angels
3. Fever
4. That Ol' Wind
5. Rollin'
6. Change
7. Beaches of Cheyenne
8. Its Midnight Cinderella
9. She's Every Woman
10. Ireland
