GARTH BROOKS RETURNS TO “THE FOURTEEN YEARS I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER . . . LIFE AT ITS BEST” IN “THE ANTHOLOGY, PART IV: GOING HOME” AVAILABLE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Garth Brooks will release The Anthology, Part IV: Going Home, the next much-anticipated installment of The Anthology series, just in time for the holidays.  Filled with never-before-seen photos, this collection recounts the 14 years Garth spent in Oklahoma after stepping out of the spotlight and into the little yellow house where he became the dad he always wanted to be to his three daughters.  

“Those fourteen years of my life are the ones I’ll always remember. It was life at its best. I learned to be a dad, my girls got to know me, and I’d never for one second regret walking away from a career in order to find all of that,” Garth says.

The Anthology, Part IV contains stories and anecdotes from Garth and the other people who made those years “life at its best,” including Trisha Yearwood and the dear friends they met as their children became teammates and friends. Included with this volume are six discs showcasing tracks from The Lost Sessions, Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences, and original cuts from Garth’s early Capitol releases.

Going Home begins on October 26, 2000, when Garth and Capitol Records celebrated RIAA-certified sales of over 100 million albums at a formal gala in Nashville.  During a press conference that morning, Garth shocked even those closest to him by announcing that he was retiring.  This volume reveals what was going through his mind in that moment and the reactions of others in the room.
