Garth Brooks says his next record might be a concept album.
He tells Billboard, "The fact that you can have a single that you're really digging but there's [lyrics] in
there where you're going, 'What the does that mean?,' and it ties into something on the cut before
kind of thing, that's a fun idea."
Garth adds that he'd be open to a duet with his late mother Colleen, who was a recording artist
before he was born. He says, "The greatest thing about technology is she made records, so that's not
out of the question."
Garth plans to having a new album out by fall, or the very latest next spring. He also has some other
projects up his sleeve-
he's thinking about releasing some of his catalog on vinyl. It is good having Garth back!!!
