His new release Mom is incredible. It’s destined to be a massive hit.* Little Baby Told God, hey I’m kinda Scared, don’t really know if I wanta go down there, *
He’s offering an incredibly generous download on his web site http://www.garthbrooks.com. His new album Man Against Machine bundled with his 8 albums for $29. That is extremely generous.
I don’t know - I think he’d have to pay me more than $29 to get me to listen to all his albums.
His tickets for the Little Rock concert sold out in just a day or two. Fans can’t wait to see him.
I like Garth too. I didn’t even try for tickets because I knew they’d all be gone. I’ll just listen to his albums at home.
Pachelbel strikes again…
Selling nine albums for thirty bucks doesn’t sound like “generous” to me. It sounds like “Has-been who’s desperately trying to wring out a few more bucks”. Now, I don’t see that that reflects poorly on him in any way that matters, but it’s just a business decision, and I don’t see that it reflects well, either.
Not quite. He’s been one of the last few holdouts that refuses to release his music for download. I believe this is the first time you can download his music, so it’s his entire catalog and it’s way cheaper than it would have been through an other source.
Someone should do a, “Where Are They Now” special for Chris Gaines.
We went to his show in Lexington a few weeks ago. I’ve never been a fan, though there are certainly songs of his that I enjoy. It was a pretty awesome show. He went all out for two solid hours (which is always pretty rare, especially with no breaks or changes, aside from one 3-song set with his wife) - and then he did it all over again 45 minutes later for the 2nd show that night. Oh, and he did the same thing the night before. The guy’s a performer. Most impressive was the fact that after about 3 or 4 songs, he stopped, and said, “This next song is from my new album. It’ll be the only new song I play. If y’all like any of the other songs from my album, I’ll play those next time I come around - but I know what you came to hear.” I know the cliche that bands are only out to push their new album, and you’re lucky to hear just a handful of their hits (which I’ve honestly never really encountered in real life), but he seemed very aware of what people paid money to come hear.
