Garth Brooks — Fresh Horses

Black Vinyl LP

Originally released in 1995, Brooks’ sixth studio album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, and #1 on the Top Country Albums chart. The album had a worldwide radio ban until it was available to buy. Only the two singles issued (“She’s Every Woman” and “The Fever”) were allowed to be played before its release, the latter of which was a new country-rock version of a 1993 Aerosmith song.

Per Brooks: “Everyone was expecting this album to be pop. Everyone said we were leaving (country). For the first time ever, I was involved (in writing) in eight of the 10 cuts, so it’s a huge reflection of myself. It’s the things I enjoy singing about. I got to sing about the band on the road, I got to sing about cowboys, and more importantly, the women who put up with those cowboys.”
