GARTH BROOKS and SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE held simultaneous news conferences TODAY (7/10), announcing details of BROOKS’ upcoming album. SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT CEO DOUG MORRIS announced the project will be promoted and marketed via SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE, specifically the RCA imprint.
ALL ACCESS asked GARTH about the music timetable and he said to expect the album around THANKSGIVING, with a new single coming before AUGUST.
The album will be available in all retailers, not just WALMART, with whom he had an exclusive deal with for his "Blame It All On My Roots" boxset that was released last NOVEMBER (NET NEWS 12/04/13).
As someone who has always been reluctant to go digital, GARTH told the crowd, "We've never allowed ourselves to go digital. That will begin within the next two or three weeks. Digital will be handled at GarthBrooks.com. It will be the only place you can get GARTH BROOKS music."
Additionally, BROOKS will stage a worldwide tour that will be announced on MONDAY, JULY 14th to a fan named "ANDY," before being announced to the general public.
Details of a worldwide tour were originally expected, following his DECEMBER (NET NEWS 12/9) announcement of such, while appearing on ABC-TV's "GOOD MORNING AMERICA".
BROOKS’ own label, PEARL RECORDS has an exclusive sales arrangement with WALMART, which was the sole retail outlet for GARTH’s "Blame It All On My Roots" project, a multi-CD package released in DECEMBER, which moved one million units in its first week. - See more at: http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/131323/garth-brooks-tour-album-and-possible-sony-nashvill?ref=search#sthash.oFQNB7PF.dpufDetails of a worldwide tour were originally expected, following his DECEMBER (NET NEWS 12/9) announcement of such, while appearing on ABC-TV's "GOOD MORNING AMERICA". - See more at: http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/131323/garth-brooks-tour-album-and-possible-sony-nashvill?ref=search#sthash.5kbmHvvx.dpufDetails of a worldwide tour were originally expected, following his DECEMBER (NET NEWS 12/9) announcement of such, while appearing on ABC-TV's "GOOD MORNING AMERICA". - See more at: http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/131323/garth-brooks-tour-album-and-possible-sony-nashvill?ref=search#sthash.5kbmHvvx.dpufDetails of a worldwide tour were originally expected, following his DECEMBER (NET NEWS 12/9) announcement of such, while appearing on ABC-TV's "GOOD MORNING AMERICA". - See more at: http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/131323/garth-brooks-tour-album-and-possible-sony-nashvill?ref=search#sthash.5kbmHvvx.dpuf
