Garth Brooks is set to take fans on a nostalgic journey through his life with the release of The Anthology Part IV: Going Home, arriving on Dec. 6. This highly anticipated installment of Brooks’s The Anthology series offers an intimate look into his 14-year hiatus from the music industry, a period he dedicated to spending quality time with his family in Oklahoma.
Brooks, who took a step back from the spotlight in 2000, shares heartfelt reflections on this pivotal chapter of his life. “Those fourteen years of my life are the ones I’ll always remember. It was life at its best. I learned to be a dad, my girls got to know me, and I’d never for one second regret walking away from a career in order to find all of that,” Brooks expressed in a statement. This period allowed him to focus on family life, forming lasting memories with his three daughters.
A Look Inside The Anthology Part IV: Going Home
This latest release in The Anthology series includes a collection of never-before-seen photos, exclusive stories, and personal anecdotes. Alongside Brooks’s own insights, the anthology features contributions from his close friends, including his wife and fellow artist, Trisha Yearwood, who has been by his side since their marriage in 2005.
In addition to the stories, The Anthology Part IV will include six discs of music that highlight key songs from Brooks’s discography, including selections from The Lost Sessions and Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences. Fans can also look forward to rare cuts from Brooks’s early Capitol releases, adding a new layer of appreciation for his extensive catalog.
Revisiting the Journey: From Retirement to Resurgence
The Anthology Part IV delves into a significant turning point in Brooks’s career, starting with his decision to step away from music on Oct. 26, 2000. That day marked a celebration with Capitol Records for over 100 million RIAA-certified album sales—a milestone that solidified his legacy. However, the celebration was bittersweet as Brooks simultaneously announced his retirement from touring to focus on family.
Brooks eventually returned to the music scene in 2014, launching a headlining tour alongside Yearwood. His triumphant comeback continued with the Garth Brooks Stadium Tour in 2019, followed by his Plus One residency, showcasing his enduring appeal and devotion to fans worldwide.
Building on the Legacy of The Anthology Series
The Anthology series first launched in 2017 with a five-CD set and a book chronicling Brooks's early career. Each installment since then has provided fans with a deeper understanding of his journey, highlighting the music, moments, and people who have shaped his life and career.
With The Anthology Part IV: Going Home, Brooks brings fans closer to the memories and choices that defined his years offstage, adding another meaningful chapter to his legacy.
