Once again, Garth Brooks has taken the words right out of my mouth. When I walk into a bar, this is exactly how I feel: Somebodyâs got to feed that jukebox, somebodyâs got to drink that beer, somebodyâs got to get all rowdy and raise hell in here.
This new single of his â âAll Day Longâ â sounds so much like his old hits that it reminds me of what made me fall in love with country music in the first place. And it sounds like that was his intention when he co-wrote the song Mitch Rossell and Bryan Kennedy.
âCountry music with a fiddle? You bet your ass,â Brooks said during his Inside Studio G Facebook Live video on Monday (June 18). âIâm just gonna say that a seat belt and a helmet might be nice on this one.â
He added that the song had the vibe of three of his uptempo hits from his heyday: âTwo of a Kind, Workinâ on a Full Houseâ from 1991, âAinât Goinâ Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)â from 1993, and his cover of the Oak Ridge Boysâ âCallinâ Baton Rougeâ from 1993. Clearly, the 90s were very good to Brooks.
âThe new music feels very old school. It sounds brand new, but itâs very old school. Itâs going to be upbeat. Itâs fun. Itâs a little summer, man. Letâs turn it up, and have some fun,â he said.
On Tuesday, when âAll Day Longâ was released to country radio, Brooks did a remote fireside guitar pull to share the music with his fans and followers on social media.
Brooks will be announcing details about his next tour sometime later this summer.
