Garth Brooks confirms new CD/DVD coming in November
"The Ultimate Hits," with four new songs and a DVD full of videos, will be out Nov. 6.
The country music superstar retired in 2001, saying he wanted to spend more time with his three daughters.
During a Nashville press conference Saturday, Brooks said he was planning to launch a tour, but pledged to promote the new disc.
"You're going to see us everywhere," said Brooks. "It's my job to let people know it's out there. And then after February, I'm going to go back to whatever I was doing before this."
The first single will be "More Than a Memory," co-written by Lee Brice, Kyle Jacobs and Billy Montana. Brooks co-wrote another new song, "Midnight Sun," with Jerrod Niemann and Richie Brown.
Brooks and Huey Lewis do a duet remake of one of Lewis' rock hits from the 1980s, "Workin' for a Livin'." Another new song, "Leave the Light On," written by Randy Goodrum and Tommy Sims, is a bonus track.
Big Machine Records, the home of Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood, will promote the CD/DVD at radio.

The high points for Brooks are the three most traditional country songs - a couple of honky tonkers ("Honky-Tonk Somewhere" and "Cowboys and Friends") and a ballad ("Whiskey to Wine"). ...
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. ...
