Garth Brooks “Sevens” Capitol Grade: A When a song’s ambiguity leaves the listener wondering if the singer’s talking about his truck or his woman, you’ve got pure country. And with 20 No. 1 hits since his debut album in 1989, Garth Brooks shows he’s still got what it takes. Though his latest album, “Sevens,” released last week, has strayed a little from his country roots, Brooks is still am singing straight from the heart “Defining Garth is kind of tough,” Brooks said at a Lincoln press confer ence in September. “Garth is left field to right field and even on out there.” Unlike his first six albums, which contained 10 songs each, Brooks busts out 14 tracks of new material on “Sevens,” providing something for everyone. “If they like the real traditional stuff, then there’s more traditional stuff on there,” Brooks said. “And the people that do the other Garth stuff that some times we classify like ‘The Dance’ or ‘Standing Outside the Fire,’ ‘We Shall Be Free,’ there’s that stuff on there, too.” For the pure country lover, “Sevens” contains a handful of straight honky tonkin’ songs such as “Cowboy Cadillac,” in which Brooks explains his love for a truck - or is it a woman? - and “Longneck Bottle,” a swing-like tune and the album’s first release. “It’s a swing tune that isn’t swing,” Brocks said “It’s got a straight beat instead of a swing beat But itfc got a swing feel to it. So we liked that because it’s different from anything else we had cut” Among the nontraditional country sounding songs is “Two Pina Coladas,” a tune that brings a Caribbean feel to an everyday problem. “It’s for a guy who just decided to say, ‘Screw it. I’m going to disappear and just drink myself into happiness,’” Brooks said. Brooks slows the tempo down in most of the other songs, and the lyrics really make them strong. Included is “In Another’s Eyes,” a duet with Trisha Yearwood. To say the least “Sevens” is a little different from anything Brooks has put out but what the heck? It works. “You’ve got extremely Garth and you’ve got extremely Garth,” Brooks said “but it’s always been left and right.” -David Wilson t\ "STAR MAKERS LOOK FOR NEXT STAR!"
