Oh yeah... not only will I admit to owning the Chris Gaines release, I'll also admit to loving it. It only failed because rock fans wouldn't accept anything by Garth Brooks, and country fans wouldn't accept him doing anything other than southern rock (what Brooks and the rest of these people do is NOT country music).

For those who haven't bought the set or still want even more unreleased Garth Brooks music:
According to countrynation.com, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have recorded a duet single titled, “Love Will Always Win,” due to be released next Tuesday, January 17. Where can you get it? You'll need to buy Trisha's latest CD, Jasper County, which she's re-releasing with "Love Will Always Win" on it. Plus, Wal-Mart will make Garth’s Lost Sessions CD, from his new boxed set, available as a single CD with six additional tracks, including the duet.
The new duet may mean Garth and Trisha are a little closer to their long-anticipated duet album. The pair have been talking about doing a duet album for nearly a decade and have many duets already in the can. According to Garth, the only thing that’s held up the duet album in the past was label politics. Obviously, with Garth’s complete control of his record projects and MCA’s cooperation with this duet single, there seems to be no obstacle to finally releasing a duets collaboration album.

On the tv preview Garth wondered aloud if he was still relevent today. He may be, but the Lost Sessions disc didn't do it for me.

So what are on these 5 DVDs? Is there much concert footage, and is it any good? I know it says 7 hours of concert footage, but some of his videos are technically concert footage, so I am wondering if we get any full uncut concerts or just a mishmash.

And I'm sure all of these could fit on fewer than 5 discs.

Prolly, but there are some extras and stuff too, and for $20 it's not like they're gouging you for it.

From billboard.com: Garth's Return: Retail, Radio, Live Stage?
The Garth Brooks juggernaut is setting the table for a new release. And this time, Billboard has learned, you won't find it only at Wal-Mart. After exclusively selling his music through that big-box merchant for the last two years, Brooks will once again make it available to all retailers. But in a surprise move, his Pearl Records imprint will apparently be self-distributed.
Meanwhile, speculation regarding a live performance aspect to Brooks' resurfacing has been centered around an extended run in one market.
According to retail sources, the country star will issue a three-disc boxed set, "The Ultimate Garth Brooks," that will street either Nov. 6 or 13. The set will contain a 34-track, two-CD greatest hits retrospective with four new songs, and a DVD with videos, many of them recently filmed, for all tracks on the CDs. In addition, Brooks is rereleasing his catalog titles, some of which have been on moratorium at general retail since 1998.
Nashville-based Big Machine Records is involved with promoting the new cuts to radio; the first single is expected in September. One of the new cuts is reportedly a remake of Huey Lewis' 1982 hit "Workin' for a Livin'," on which Lewis plays harmonica.
Programmers from across the country, who have been given few details, have been invited to an Aug. 17-18 event in Nashville. Brooks has also scheduled an Aug. 18 press conference there.
In 2005, Brooks split from Capitol Records and left with ownership of his catalog. Later that year, he issued a "Limited Series" boxed set exclusively through Wal-Mart, which contained three of his prior albums, a previously unreleased DVD and a disc of never-before-heard songs. In early 2006, Brooks rereleased his catalog exclusively at Wal-Mart and then, in time for Christmas 2006, he issued "The Entertainer," a five-disc DVD package, solely at the giant merchant.
On the live front, standing offers from promoters have apparently been on the table for Brooks since his retirement in 2000. Last time out, Brooks shattered country touring records with an outing centered around his 1998 Capitol release "Sevens." The three-year extravaganza grossed more than $105 million (country's first $100 million run) and drew close to 5.5 million people. Notably, Brooks charged a relatively paltry $20 per ticket when he likely could have demanded three times that amount.
Since retiring, Brooks has made sporadic live appearances, including a Hurricane Katrina benefit, a Grand Ole Opry appearance in 2005 and a more recent performance at a Live Earth concert in Washington, D.C. He previously said he would not embark on a full-blown tour until his youngest daughter graduates from high school in 2015.
