Garth Brooks will release The Anthology Part V: The Comeback, The First Five Years, the latest installment in his hardbound anthology series, on April 4.
Each part covers a specific era of Brooks’ career with the Part V focused on his return to the stage in 2014 after taking off more than a dozen years to raise his children. Though the superstar was uncertain how his first tour in over a decade would be received and if the audience would still be there, the tour went on to sell more than 6.2 million tickets over 391 shows.
The Anthology Part V, which will be available via Amazon and TalkShopLive, has six CDs comprising 66 songs, including seven live recordings and over 150 never before seen photos.
Brooks will launch Part V with a series of weekly conversations with bandmates and collaborators on TalkShopLive starting March 10 with drummer Mike Palmer, fiddle player Jimmy Mattingly and guitarist Chris Leuzinger.
That will be followed by Brooks’ conversation with his Anthology co-writer Warren Zanes on March 17 and singer/songwriter and back-up vocalist Karyn Rochelle on March 17; production manager Brian Petree and road manager Bryan Kennedy on March 24 and radio host Storme Warren and sound engineer Mark Miller on March 31. The final conversation will take place on April 4 with Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood.
The conversations will be simulcast on Amazon Live, GarthBrooks.com, both of which will be shoppable opportunities, as well as on The Garth Channel on the Sevens Radio Network.
Part V comes four months following Part IV: Going Home, which covered Brooks’ 14-year hiatus.
