Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7th 1962) is a popular American musician and singer. His blending of pop and rock elements into the genre of country has brought his popularity, especially across the United States with success on the country album and single charts, multi-platinum albums in live performance records and also entering the mainstream pop scene.

Although Brooks musical style put him within the confines that country music had, Brooks was in the 1970s singer-songwriter movement, specifically the work from James Taylor, whom he loved and named his son after, along with Dan Fogelberg. Similar to that, Brooks was influenced by the rock of the 1970s by Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen and the operatic rock of Queen together with Freddie Mercury.

In 1985, Brooks began his professional music career, singing and playing guitar in Oklahoma clubs and bars, most notably Wild Willie’s Saloon in Stillwater. Through his elder siblings, Brooks was exposed to a wide range of music. Although he listened to some country music, especially that of George Jones, Brooks was most fond of rock music, citing James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, and Townes Van Zandt as major influences. In 1981, after hearing “Unwound”, the debut single of George Strait, Brooks decided that he was more interested in playing country music.

Brooks’ second album, No Fences, was released in 1990 and spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The album also reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and eventually became Brooks’ highest-selling album, with domestic shipments of 17 million. It contained what would become Brooks’ signature song, the blue collar anthem “Friends in Low Places”, as well as other popular singles, “The Thunder Rolls” and “Unanswered Prayers”.

Brooks’ third album, Ropin’ the Wind, was released in September 1991. It had advance orders of 4 million copies and entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, a first for a country artist. The album’s musical content was a melange of country pop and honky-tonk; singles included “The River”, “What She’s Doing Now”, and a cover of Billy Joel’s “Shameless”. It would become Brooks’ second-best selling album, after No Fences. The success of Ropin’ the Wind further propelled the sales of Brooks’ first two albums, enabling Brooks to become the first country artist with three albums listed in the Billboard 200’s top 20 in one week.

Nonetheless, “We Shall Be Free” peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Christian Songs charts through a marketing deal with Rick Hendrix Company, and earned Brooks a 1993 GLAAD Media Award.
