Garth Brooks: Platinum Cowboy [Paperback]

Edward Morris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 15, 1992

In the three years since his first single entered the Billboard charts, country singer Garth Brooks has become the most popular recording artist in America. He's left Michael Jackson and Guns N' Roses eating his dust, and for good reason-he's an eloquent songwriter, a traditional country crooner with a rock 'n' roll twist, and he works the stage like a Nashville-born-and-raised Mick Jagger. He's rediscovered country music for a whole new generation, and breathed new life into it for country's original fans, leaving us, his fans, panting for more.

A big sound and a big star: Garth Brooks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn facts about Garth, January 15, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Garth Brooks: Platinum Cowboy (Paperback)

This is a good book if you don't know much about Garth. I have the Garth Scrapbook and that is the best book I have read. I think I like also because it has many pictures of him. Both books are not up to date though. I think this book is worth your money if you are a Garth fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outlines Garth's Climb To The Top!, January 20, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Garth Brooks: Platinum Cowboy (Paperback)

Received this book for Christmas and I love it. Even though the information is out-of-date for those who have followed Garth in his climb to the top, I still enjoy reading all the details, some of which I did not know
