Garth Brooks Explains How 'Time Traveler' Got Its Name

What's in a name? When it comes to Garth Brooks' 14th studio album, "Time Traveler," the answer is everything.

"Time Traveler" isn't just a title—it's also a concept. Released last year as part of his seven-disc boxed set "The Limited Series," sold exclusively at Bass Pro Shops, "Time Traveler" explores songs that lived—or sound like they lived—in Garth's favorite decades of country music.

Fans can stream it exclusively on Amazon Music on September 6.

The 10-song collection includes Garth's Ronnie Dunn duet "Rodeo Man," his Kelly Clarkson collaboration "The Ship and the Bottle," his reimagined version of David Allan Coe's "The Ride," his contemporary "Me Without You," and more.

"You'll hear this rush of '90s country, and then you'll hear this stuff that's kind of influenced a little more by pop and dance," Garth said. "'Me Without You' is very much today. At the same time, it could be out of some genre around the '80s."

Garth continued explaining that "The Ride" emerged in the '70s. He said, "Pleasure In The Pain" could have been a Keith Whitley song, and "Rodeo Man" might have bucked up the charts in the '90s.

"I just think that's why the title kind of tied it all together," he said.
