Brooks releases new song on Wednesday
Tuesday, September 2, 2014 – Garth Brooks will release a new song, "People Loving People," on Wednesday, one day before he starts his world tour in Chicago.
The new song is a prelude to a new album coming out later this year.
The song is Brooks' first single since "More Than a Memory" in 2007. That became the first song to debut at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
Michael Busbee, Lee Thomas Miller and Chris Wallin wrote the new song.
Brooks retired from touring in 2001 to stay close to his Oklahoma home and raise his three daughters. He has not mounted a major tour since 1998, although he did a residency in Las Vegas and has played occasional charity shows.

After releasing his debut album in 1989, Garth Brooks released music almost every year until he announced his retirement in 2000. Since then, he has released repackaged hit collections, new music on "Scarecrow" and "The Lost Sessions" and last year's cover song collection "Blame it All on My Roots." Over the years, there have been live recordings, concert and music video collections. The country songwriter became a pop culture icon, transcending genre to become ...
Garth Brooks is back with his first release of "new" material since 2001's "Scarecrow." (Truth in advertising, his "The Ultimate Hits," which actually is part of the new box set, included four new songs back in 2007). And it's quite an undertaking - four CDs of covers - Country Classics, Classic Rock, Blue-Eyed Soul and Melting Pot, an amalgam of country, rock, soul and folk; the two-CD set, "The Ultimate Set" and a DVD of his live performance in Vegas. ...
