“It’s funny how a chubby kid can just be having fun, and they call that entertainment,” Garth Brooks once quipped about his singing. In the 1990s, Brooks’ “fun” transformed country music. He “did away with decades of country stereotypes,” said the New York Times, “and ushered the music into a new era.” Because his songs were the first to appeal to pop and rock fans as well as country audiences, Brooks became America’s top-selling solo recording artist.

Brooks’ songs deal with the traditional subjects of country music—broken hearts and hard times. But they also show the influence of such folk and pop artists as James Taylor and Billy Joel. Onstage, Brooks wears the cowboy hat beloved by country singers. But his performances feature light shows and other elements from the world of rock music; he has even smashed guitars onstage. The singer’s 1989 debut album, Garth Brooks, sold more than 9 million copies. It generated four top-selling singles, including “If Tomorrow Never Comes.” Brooks’ second album, No Fences, sold more than 16 million copies. And his third, Ropin’ the Wind, hit the number-one spot on Billboard magazine’s pop chart in its first week—the first country album ever to do so. Explaining why his songs appeal to so many people, Brooks said: “They might not speak the same language or listen to the same music, but they’ve all got hearts.”

In 2005, Brooks released a box set of his albums called Garth Brooks: The Limited Series. It sold more than 1 million copies during its first week on sale. His albums The Lost Session and Garth Brooks: The Entertainer were rereleased as anniversary issues in 2006. After not touring for nine years, Brooks performed in nine concert shows in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2007. The final show was simulcast to more than 300 movie theaters nationwide. Brooks, who officially retired in 2000, announced in October 2009 that he would perform a “series of special engagements” in Las Vegas.

Garth Brooks and country singer Trisha Yearwood were married in 2005. He has three daughters from his first marriage.
