After several years as a small-time bar singer, Garth Brooks burst upon the American country scene in 1989 with this self-named album, produced by Don Williams' producer, Allen Reynolds. He sang songs with an old-time country feel ("Cowboy Bill") and revived a Jim Reeves' single ("I Know One"), but he was much too young to feel this damn old and the album had a solid, contemporary feel. One of the greatest love songs of recent years, if not all-time, is his own composition "If Tomorrow Never Knows." This album was first in his on-going series of multi-platinum sales.
