Various Artists / A Tribute To Garth Brooks - New Friends In Love -

This album seems to be attractive when you see the involved singers in this tribute project. They did well basically, but the problem is that this is the tribute to Garth Brooks, the country music star. On some tribute albums or complilation albums gathering cover versions, we can enjoy the difference of arrangement between the original version and covered or tributed version. But, this is not. So, if you would like to collect all the related lead vocal works by your favourite artists. That's all why I dare to review this album. This is not a recommendable album for AOR/Adult Contemporary Music nor Melodious Hard Rock fans, just for Country Music fans.
