Customer Reviews

Garth is Great
If you are nostalgic for the early Garth, buy this CD. But I may be biased; I love most of his stuff...

Fantastic
What an absolutely fantastic album!!!

I live in the UK and therefore was unable to buy the album in any shop (including ASDA which is owned by WalMart).

I therefore had it shipped to me from America via eBay. The first CD was lost in customs and therefore a second one was sent out.

It took 7 weeks to get it but let me tell you it was well worth the wait!!!

This is one of the best (if not the best) Garth albums you can get for the money.

It's fresh, exciting and addictive. I've not been able to stop playing this in my car at full volume. I've had the CD for 2 weeks and pretty much know all the words because I've played it so many times.

My favourite songs are:

Cowgirl's Saddle
My Baby No Esta Aqui
Good Ride Cowboy

In fact all of them!!!

I Hope this helps but if you're still not sure I've got one last thing to say:

BUY IT ANYWAY - YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

Back in the Saddle
Garth Brooks' 'The Lost Session' finds the all-time best-selling cowboy singer back in fine form. Here, like on 'Scarecrow,' Garth has rediscovered fine songwriting and musicianship. The songs' quality harkens back to the early days, yet manages to move forward at the same time. (Lost is any evidence of his middle years when he hit bottom with recordings like 'Fresh Horses'.) Just like 'Scarecrow,' the music is crisper. If anything, the songwriting is even a notch higher and more varied. Garth, fortunately, took his time. (Notice that there are sixteen songs here, so he hasn't taken his fans for granted.) In other ways he pulls out all stops.

The C.D. kicks off with "Good Ride Cowboy," a worthy rodeo song that is nearly as good as his original "Rodeo". However, "My Baby No Esta Aqui," is even better with playful lyrics and a ho-down back up that would leave the liveliest dancer panting. Throughout he captures many styles and gives the C.D. more variety than usual. Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top come to mind when listening to "I'll Be the Wind," but he also comes up with a fine orchestrated patriot song with "American Dream".

Not only does he do well with hot new country, but he also puts in some good ballads. "You Can't Help Who You Love" is good, and he and his newlywed bride, Trisha Yearwood, sing an engaging duet on "Love Will Always Win," a song that's spiritual and philosophical and not just about romance. Garth also waxes philosophical on "I'd Rather Have Nothing," a heartfelt song that couldn't be more sincere, even if he is the closest contender to the Beatles' royalties. Not everything is serious, though. "Under the Table," is clever enough, even if it doesn't hold a candle to his best drinking songs, "Two Pina Coladas" and "Friends in Low Places". He also gets playful with songs like the fine "That Girl Is a Cowboy". There are even two remakes: "Fishin' in the Dark," which he does well, and "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream," which is done alright, but is a good (and surprising) choice.

In my opinion, the album's finest moment is the middle part of "Allison Miranda". Here the musicians take off in flight without any vocals. It shows how much Garth has been a spirited and careful craftsman to give us some of his finest material in years.
