Recorded at Jack's Tracks Recording Studio, Nashville, Tennessee. ROPIN' THE WIND was the first country album to debut at the top of the Billboard Pop Album chart. It was good news for both Garth and country music because it meant that the genre was expanding to a pop audience. Yet this also made many traditionalists nervous: "he's going `pop'," they cried. The album opens with the bluegrassy "Against The Grain," with its nothing-ventured-nothing-gained theme. It is followed by the cowboy blues "Rodeo," which features another topic close to the hearts of country music fans, and "What She's Doing Now," a powerful ballad immersed in steel guitar. Halfway through ROPIN' THE WIND and there's not even a trace of "pop music." In fact, Garth could even be mistaken for Randy Travis on "Cold Shoulder." "In Lonesome Dove" is a beautiful Western narrative, while "Papa Loves Mama" talks of truckers, diesels, wine bottles, the penitentiary, and the graveyard; when's the last time you heard a song like that on a Michael Bolton album? Yes, Garth is all country on ROPIN' THE WIND--even though he fervently covers "Shameless," a song written by his idol Billy Joel. But really, with that twang, the catch in his voice, the steel guitars and the blue-collar themes, how can anyone doubt Garth's devotion to traditional country? | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews  O Sweet Irony 3 of 5 people found this review helpful. I asked for this one. After reviewing Garth Brooks' CD, The Chase, the word got out on the rally and now the entity is wise to me. Garth Brooks will not rest until ALL who join the brigade are destroyed. I apologize to all that were innocently roped into the fight. Do not let Garth Brooks win this battle, fight for a free earth. There is no place safe to hide from Garth Brooks, he is a tracking and killing machine. The only thing that can ease my mind now is the thought that Garth Brooks reign may soon be haulted. Do not let him win this round, continue the struggle for the survival of peace. Review ID: 10000000001389229 Was this review helpful?
