I never liked him or his clothing choices but that is not the point. He was huge many years ago but then seemed to completely disappear. I think he refused permission for Apple Music and Spotify to use his catalogue. He obviously had piles of cash so perhaps he just quit.
I'm not a big fan either. But I'm in mid Tenn and inundated with country music ad nauseam.

Did he ever relent ? Is he on iTunes now?

@C0ncreteBl0nde you enjoy though!

"Troubled by conflicts between career and family, Brooks retired from recording and performing from 2001 until 2005. During this time, he sold millions of albums through an exclusive distribution deal with Walmart and sporadically released new singles. He has chosen not to list his music with Spotify or Apple Music due to his belief in the importance of artist compensation." They estimate his worth at 400 million, so I believe he can afford to do as he wants as @Expos of 1969 pointed out.

FWIW, that's what Google said. Then there was the bit about his outfit and some sexual charges that never amounted to much. My mother had a crush on him years ago ( 😂 My father died in 1986 and she never so much as had coffee with another man) and she and I listened to Garth a bit while I was going through my divorce. This song just happened to be on a playlist I was listening to and not even a song of his that I am particularly fond of. I was perusing the forum while listening to music and said "I'll post the next song in the "What are you Listening to Thread"..it was Garth. ;)
 
If anybody is interested, this is my Beatles playlist. About as close to their full catalogue as you can get on YouTube. Also includes all the music videos I could find, and a bunch of each of their solo stuff. I curate it and try to keep it up to date and organized, adding stuff I find here and there. I've added a lot of stuff since I made the playlist and it still needs some organizing at the end, but the album part is pretty much complete. I'll finish organizing it someday.😊

Please let me know if you like it.

A good night to spin and sip. First up, not sure what's next. That just made me think of Who's Next, wonder if I have it?
