Product Description

No Fences captures Garth Brooks just after his initial success yet before superstardom. Though it includes "The Thunder Rolls," another of the pop-country power ballads he'd introduced with "The Dance," No Fences bounces mainly between impersonations--often catchy and engaging ones, but impersonations nonetheless. "Wild Horses" is straight-up George Strait, while "Two of a Kind" and "Friends in Low Places" are John Anderson and Hank Jr. respectively. The best moment, the Dan Fogleberg-like "Unanswered Prayers," relays a message either highly spiritual or hugely rationalized. Regardless, it succeeds because its delivery is earnest, sweet, and humble--something Garth wouldn't be for long. --David Cantwell Track Listings 1. The Thunder Rolls 2. New Way to Fly 3.

Customer Reviews

Garth
I am not a really big Garth Brooks fan, but the one song. "unanswered Prayer" is worth the whole CD.

Garth Brooks Fan
I got this CD out and played it and really like it again I like the song Unanswered prayers

Half
I wanted to rate this latest release half, (three stars), because Pinoccio only has one woman to complete him right now. This is really starting to show through in his latest cd. The old stuff was FAR better. I love Garth's old stuff.
When Garth meets the other women he desperately needs in his life, and becomes "a real boy" - I will give Pinoccio five stars. I'm sure his music will improve then.
Isn't that what life's all about? Do a little memory dance through life, pat your wife on the head for being a good sport, and keep truckin until the next stop? What an ego! I am asking, because I am not as old as him yet, and I am still trying to learn.
His ex-wife may not be a glamorous singer, but she must be an amazing woman to devote her life towards his happiness.
I guess Hollywood will make a movie soon, and try to make her look evil or something.
