GARTH BROOKS RECORDING AGAIN NOT A COMEBACK
From an interview Country Weekly, Garth Brooks’ producer, Allen Reynolds, Garth has returned to the studio. He’s been working on some unreleased material that will be included in a box set to be released later this exclusively through Wal-Mart stores. The tracks include a tribute to Chis LeDoux titled, “Good Ride, Cowboy.”Reynolds was quick to point out the new sessions do not mean Garth is coming back, “It’s not a comeback. He’s very clear about staying home with his daughters until they’re grown.”

CLINT BLACK TO RELEASE NEW CD
Clint Black will release his second CD for his label, Equity Music Group, on October 4, 2005. Titled Drinkin’ Songs & Other Logic, the all new music written by Black is a deliberate return to his past. Featuring the new single, “Code of the West,” the 12 song collection has the flavor and flair of the music Black grew up listening to.

Thanks to Neil Haislop for the Music City headlines.
