Editorial Reviews

One artist...one decade...one hundred million albums sold! Garth Brooks remains the biggest Country artist of all-time. He harnessed the Country and Pop influences of has past and created a new kind of Country that appealed to different generations of fans and crossed over into the Pop market like no other artist before him. Garth Brooks changed the rules based on his talent alone. He became a worldwide superstar while remaining true to his humble roots, which added to his appeal. This is his 1995 album and features 'Cowboys And Angels', 'The Fever' and 'She's Every Woman'. Pearl.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good album, weighted down by a few poor songs March 21, 2003

Fresh Horses came out about the same time that Brooks became Garth. In 1995 he was at the height of his popularity, and took a year off of touring to prepare this album. Fresh Horses was supposed to rejuvenate his career, to provide a new sound and launch him into the largest tour of his life.
The resulting album is good, as is everything that Garth has put out, but not as great as one may expect. It would seem that, given the extra time he put into this album, the results may have been stronger. Below are my impressions of each song.

The Old Stuff: A strong opener, and one of my favorite songs on the album. This upbeat track tells of Garth's early days, playing on the road before he became a phenomenon.

Cowboys and Angels: Garth must have listened to hundreds of songs while looking for material to put on the album. What I wonder every time I listen to this track is: why did he choose this one? Simply put, Cowboys and Angels is a bad song, and one that can be tedious after repeated listenings.

The Fever: A strong rocker. Whether or not you like this track really depends on your taste in country music. If you like the contemporary, this is for you. If you are one who favors the traditional sounds of George Jones, you may want to skip to the next song.

That Ol' Wind: A wonderful ballad, and without a doubt one of the greatest songs on the album.

Rollin': This song has a nice, fast beat, but the lyrics leave something to be desired. Plainly put, they are just to silly. I would say that this song is one of the detriments to the album.

The Change: A nice song and minor hit that talks about the Oklahoma City bombing.

The Beaches of Cheyenne: This is the one truely amazing song on the album, the kind that after listening to, one can only say "wow". This story of a widowed woman's suicide after her husbands death at a rodeo by far outclasses anything else that can be heard on the CD.

To Make You Feel My Love: A wonderful slow song that makes the special edition CD worth purchasing. This song appeared on the movie Hope Floats, and is another high point of the album.

It's Midnight Cinderella: Another fast and fun uptempo song. It is fairly silly, though not quite as bad as Rollin'.

She's Every Woman: A good song with a fairly slow beat in which Garth sings about, as the song title implies, a woman.

Ireland: Ireland is, in a nutshell, another great song. With its bagpipes, it is about as uncountry as one could get, yet is is still a wonderful anthem.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!1 July 22, 2000

Garth Brooks is my all time favorite singer. I love ALL his work, but especially Fresh Horses. Many people (i have read) do not enjoy this cd. But i dont understand what there isn't to enjoy. I mean most of the songs on there, if not all, are REALLY good. My friends always want to borrow this cd, so i bought two, one for me and one for my friends to listen to. And if you think so what, well get this, ALL of my friends despise country music, but they LOVE this CD, and a couple others of Garth Brooks' cds. If you get the chance to buy, DONT HESITATE!! It is THE BEST!!! Hats off to you Garth!! :)
