Garth Brooks‘ version of ‘To Make You Feel My Love,’ has been so successful that it is often easy to forget that it was Bob Dylan's song.

Not only that, Billy Joel recorded the song and had success with it, before Brooks recorded it, and once again this wonderful song became a huge country hit for him, in 1998. It gained him Grammy nominations, and the music world watched as the song rose to No. 1.

We think that the secret of this song  which will now quite probably be re-issued by many new artists and every generation become a hit once more, is in its purity as a love song the production is simple and pure. By that simplicity it gives the singer the opportunity to add real feeling, and nothing gets in the way when it comes to communicating that emotion to each of us as we listen. We all do feel its genuine emotions of vulnerability and tender loving. Not to put too fine a point on it. Brooks really presses home the meaning of this song, making it a real gem of country music.

“I’d go hungry, I’d go blind for you / I’d go crawling down the avenue / There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do / To make you feel my love,” 
Brooks sings.

Don't you just adore Dylan’s lyric! Not for nothing is this ramked No. 2 in the Top 100 Country Love Songs List.

About Garth Brooks

Double Live is the only and first live recorded album by American Country Music artist Garth Brooks, and was released on November 17, 1998. As its name suggests, it is a 2 disc live CD taped throughout Brooks' second world tour in 1998.

The Recording Industry Association of America announced that Garth Brooks was the best selling solo artist of the twentieth century in America. This conclusion drew criticism from the press and many music fans who were convinced that Elvis Presley had actually offered more records.

However, Garth had actually been ranked lower than he should have been, in the rankings due to faulty RIAA certification methods throughout the period he was recording. While proud of his sales accomplishments, Brooks mentioned that he too believed that Presley surely has to have sold more records.

This was the second marriage for each of his parents, giving Brooks four older half-siblings (Jim, Jerry, Mike, and Betsy). The couple produced two children together, Kelly and Garth. During childhood at their home in Yukon, Oklahoma, the family hosted weekly skill performance nights. All of the youngsters were delighted to get involved. They would sing or do spoofs/comedy skits.

As an artist and as an exploring act, Garth Brooks broke records right and left, and today the country music legend holds the distinction of being the very best selling solo cd artist in the U.S. of all time.

Even if you have actually seen Garth in performance numerous times in the past, you'll absolutely want to see him each time around, once more.

The Garth Brooks song I have constantly liked over many years goes,
"I'm pleased I didn't understand the method everything would end, the method everything would go ..."
Then I got to thinking about the times I have lost contact with people I in fact do love, the times when an unanswered e-mail, say, has caused me so much worry that somebody might have passed away that I've been incapable to even continue making use of the email.

His name is simply memorable and can be easily remembered.

On September 3, 2014, Brooks launched his comeback single, "People Loving People", in promotion of his world tour and new album, Man Against Machine.

On September 4, 2014 Garth Brooks released his entire studio output on digital for the very first time ever. Bypassing traditional digital music service carriers, Brooks opted into releasing his albums directly through his individual web site and a brand-new music service called GhostTunes.

A couple of other tunes Garth does that I'm rather fond of, are
"If Tomorrow Never Comes," and "Thunder Rolls." 

It is, uh, so ... Garth Brooks! We hope that you enjoy the music.
