- History
- Brooks was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1962. While he was more devoted to athletics throughout his student days, he eventually came around to the realization that a career in pro sports likely wasn't the best option. He turned to music instead, with his college roommate serving as the guitarist in his road band. His style in the arena might owe more to rock performers such as Billy Joel and Freddie Mercury than to George Jones. Brooks, nevertheless, is first and foremost a country artist.

Since then, he's been inducted into both the Songwriter's and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
- Additional Info
- A performer as prolific as Brooks is bound to have too many hits to list, but there are several that stand out above the rest. In addition to "The Dance" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes," his debut album included the plaintive "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)," which famously name-checked rodeo legend Chris LeDoux. The two would later go on to record a duet together, "Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy." Even non-country fans are likely familiar with "Friends in Low Places," a honky-tonk staple that continues to make the rounds at bars more than 30 years after its release. "The River," which encourages listeners to follow their dreams, is another standout from the same time frame. In 1997, the singer recorded a duet, "In Another's Eyes," with fellow country artist Trisha Yearwood. The pair would go on to marry in 2005.
