Perhaps after all these years, Garth Brooks is finally right. It may very well be time for him to ride off into the sunset. While the material on this disc is generally good, the typical slick production of Garth Brooks' albums strips it of a good majority of its honesty. If Garth's producers would lay off and just let him do a stripped down album of music, these songs would sound wonderful. Instead, this disc comes off as that of a country singer who longs to sing folk and rock, but feels obligated to tip his hat to country. It just sounds forced and tired. The songs taken individually are good, but they just don't hang together well on this album...he can't seem to decide whether he wants to do a pop album or a traditional country album. While I don't necessarily hope that Garth retires, at least a good long vacation is in order for him.
