Garth Brooks To Release 'The Anthology 2: The Next Five Years' This Fall

Garth Brooks has revealed that he will be releasing the latest edition of his anthology book/CD series, The Anthology 2: The Next Five Years, in November.

Brooks has already released the inaugural anthology set, which covered the first five years of his career, and Anthology 3, which featured never-before-seen live concert moments.

Anthology 2 chronicles his career from 1996 through his retirement in 2000. The set will contain six CDs featuring previously unreleased tracks.

Interviews by Bob Dylan and Keith Urban are included in the book.

"We got the green light. We're ready. This thing is almost 300 pages with almost 280 something photographs in it, which is crazy," Brooks said on his Facebook Live series, "Inside Studio G."

The unreleased tracks include Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood covering Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love."

Speaking about the duet, Brooks said, "Miss [Trisha] Yearwood started this conversation with us about a duet that we had cut on Bob Dylan's 'To Make You Feel My Love' for Hope Floats. She sang the 'walking home in the rain' line - I did the title track for it. And then she claims there was a duet done with just strings and a guitar.

"And I didn't want to tell my wife she was drinking but. And we dug in the vault, and sure enough there it was. This thing is gorgeous. It's beautiful, so it's in the Anthology as well," he added.

Luke Combs Opens Up About Struggles With Weight

Country star Luke Combs has opened up about his struggles with weight and how earnestly he wants to get healthy for his newborn son.

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Combs revealed that he has been overweight partly because of his unhealthy food habits.

"It was always something that's bugged me. especially when you're younger," he said. "You're like, 'Man, I just got a horrible genetic dice roll on this thing.' You start to realize that almost even more when you're older and it's like, not that I don't pig out because I do pig out."

"I'm not trying to say it's not my fault because it is in a lot of ways," he added. "But also, I got to this point where I'm like, man, I'd really love to trim down. And it's so hard for me to do that."

However, Combs is now more motivated to get healthy, as the singer and his wife, Nicole, welcomed a baby boy named Tex on June 19.

"This having a kid thing has really messed up my head on this thing in the best way," he said. "I want to be around, dude. Do you know what I mean?"
