It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that when Garth Brooks said he’d be retiring from country music that it would be temporary. After all, he was at the top of his game cranking out hits, winning entertainer of the year awards, and selling millions of albums. I mean, man can’t live on Dr. Pepper commercials alone. Of course, there was that little side project where he thought he was Chris Gaines that pretty much fell flat, but in the country music world he was seemingly unstoppable.

To be honest, his retirement lasted far longer than I ever imagined it would, but the time has come to resurrect his career and he’s doing it in a grand fashion. First of all, he’s got a greatest hits collecting getting ready to hit the shelves. The disk includes a new song, “More Than a Memory” that topped the country music singles charts a few weeks back and still lingers in the top ten. Garth is also currently on tour with real life love Trisha Yearwood in support of his disk. The duo are playing sold out shows in stadiums across the country.

Now he can add a couple more endeavors to his rapidly growing resume. First up, Garth will be featured on GAC’s “Off Stage with Lorianne Cook” this Saturday night. He is also taking over Sirius Satellite radio’s Prime Country channel 61 for two entire weeks beginning November 5th. The superstar entertainer will introduce his own songs and also tell about other country music artists that inspire him and play their songs as well.

Garth Brooks’ new CD, “The Ultimate Hits” will be released next Tuesday November 6th.
