tell us who you are garth!!
9 June 2020
Mmmnow, I didn't grow up in the country pursay, but dang I like country music. And there ain't no better than garth brooks. This documentary shows just how cold and murderous the record music business industry can be, from that famous 24hr trip to Nashville to Garth's failed 1st marriage because his wife couldn't fill out an application (Illiterate couldn't read good). Garth tells tall tales about coming up an making it big, and boy did he get BIG. Sometimes holding back the tears he gives inspirational advice like compete, compete, compete and when you think you're done compete again...or my fave every blessing is a curse and every curse is blessed (his daddy's sage advice). All the studio and on-stage footage is great, garth hitting every note high and tight, always looking the part in a flashy shirt or Oklahoma state hoodie, always in them hard-working farm stained jeans jeans jeans!! Garth shares intimate parts of his life such as his retirement from late nights and road beave to focus on raising his three unremarkable daughters. Fellow musicians rave on about garth and his slitting the throat of the pop music world. Chris Gaines makes an appearance as the focal star of a concept record loosely based on the life of Australian star Keith urban, wildy new and original, stunningly controversial... I don't wanna run the risk of this turning into a bunch of spoilers so I'll quit with the ramblin. Do yourself a favour, lock yourself or someone else in the house, dig a hole in the backyard and bury your phone, cos you don't wanna miss this for your life. Well done Netflix, well done Garth, well done America!!!
