Her son was seriously engaged in athletics and as an athlete, won a scholarship at the University of Oklahoma, in the evenings, he worked part time country music songs in bars and restaurants in hotels. Love for music took her - Brooks left the University and got a job in a bar bouncer Stillwater: once entered a client, Brooks arranged in a bar this carnage. A month later, that, because of which he broke all the furniture and a dozen noses, became his wife.
It was she, Sandy Brooks, he spent his first author’s song «Unanswered Prayers», which brought him success in Oklahoma and a contract with Capitol Records. The firm has contributed to the singer producer Allen Reynolds, known for his work with Don Williams, and in 1989, Brooks’ first album «Garth Brooks» saw the light. This was an unexpected record even for a conservative style, as the country: in spite of the relatively young, Garth Brooks, seemed nostalgic for the passed century, and immediately became the idol of the older generation. He beautifully arranged classic country-western Jim Reeves “1 Know One», «to zero” made an old cowboy saga «Cowboy Bill» and styled as the beginning of the century a few of their copyrights things - «The Dance», «If Tomorrow Never Comes» and ” Not Counting You ».
