Garth Brooks to release a five-part anthology…
Darius Rucker to release a new album…

Garth Brooks will release a five-part anthology tracing the steps of his career from the very beginning. It will feature a book written by Garth and is packaged with five CDs.
Part 1: The First Five Years will be out on November 14th. It is all about the early days of his career, including the first time he sang one of his songs with Trisha Yearwood. The CDs feature early demos, outtakes and songs that have never been heard before.

Darius Rucker is set to release his fifth country album next month. The 12-song project already has a No. 1 hit, with “If I Told You,”- it reached the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart in June.
In addition to featuring top songwriters, the album has a cover of Drivin’ N’ Cryin’s “Straight to Hell.” Darius enlisted the help of a few of his friends—Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley—to provide vocals on the tune.
When Was the Last Time comes out on October 20th.
