The Lost Sessions

 (7 customer reviews)

Think about it Garth fans... If you're here, looking at the reviews for this CD, you already love Garth. These are mostly older songs that were in the vault with a couple new ones thrown in for good measure. Never-the-less, it sounds just like we would all want a new Garth album to sound like. Its got honkey-tonk, ballads, rockers, and good re-makes. Its Garth, all the way through.

I would like to spend a little more time reviewing this CD, like I have many others, but it doesnt need it. If you are a fan, you'll like it. If not, dont worry about it. Go look for a CD by an artist that you do like. Just for good measure, I can tell you that Garth uses the same great crew of studio musicians on this that he has on every CD in the past. These guys are as tight as they come. Might not be a better studio-only band in Nashville. Or anywhere for that matter.

In closing, Id like to know where that other reviewer found the new box-set for $40.00, since it was only $25.00...Read more

What an absolutely fantastic album!!!

I live in the UK and therefore was unable to buy the album in any shop (including ASDA which is owned by WalMart).

I therefore had it shipped to me from America via eBay. The first CD was lost in customs and therefore a second one was sent out.

It took 7 weeks to get it but let me tell you it was well worth the wait!!!

This is one of the best (if not the best) Garth albums you can get for the money.

It's fresh, exciting and addictive. I've not been able to stop playing this in my car at full volume. I've had the CD for 2 weeks and pretty much know all the words because I've played it so many times.

My favourite songs are:

Cowgirl's Saddle
My Baby No Esta Aqui
Good Ride Cowboy

In fact all of them!!!

I Hope this helps but if you're still not sure I've got one last thing to say:

BUY IT ANYWAY - YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

Garth Brooks' 'The Lost Session' finds the all-time best-selling cowboy singer back in fine form. Here, like on 'Scarecrow,' Garth has rediscovered fine songwriting and musicianship. The songs' quality harkens back to the early days, yet manages to move forward at the same time. (Lost is any evidence of his middle years when he hit bottom with recordings like 'Fresh Horses'.) Just like 'Scarecrow,' the music is crisper. If anything, the songwriting is even a notch higher and more varied. Garth, fortunately, took his time. (Notice that there are sixteen songs here, so he hasn't taken his fans for granted.) In other ways he pulls out all stops.

The C.D. kicks off with "Good Ride Cowboy," a worthy rodeo song that is nearly as good as his original "Rodeo". However, "My Baby No Esta Aqui," is even better with playful lyrics and a ho-down back up that would leave the liveliest dancer panting. Throughout he captures many styles and gives the C.D. more variety than usual...Read more
