Garth Brooks' In Pieces has some fine music. The #1 smash hit 'Ain't Going Down 'Til The Sun Comes Up', with Chris Leuzinger's lead guitar and Terry McMillan's harmonica, is a fun romp. Another #1 song, 'American Honky-Tonk Bar Association', is more hard core country but still fun. I also liked Garth's spirited remake of the New Grass Revival's hit 'Callin' Baton Rouge', on which the guys from the New Grass Revival back up Garth. The closing number, 'The Cowboy Song', is the most traditional country song on the record and another fine Western song by Garth. Garth's friend Tony Arata, the writer of Garth's classic hit 'The Dance', contributed the bluesy romp 'Kickin' And Screamin'. However, though I like the musical arrangements here, I think Garth veered too heavily in the pop direction on some of the songs. There are several songs on here that are musical gems but that wouldn't be considered 'country' by some listeners. In my opinion, 'Standing Outside The Fire', 'The Red Strokes', 'The Night Will Only Know' and 'One Night A Day', although they are well done, sound more pop than country. Garth has also ignited controversy at times(for instance, on 'The Thunder Rolls' and 'We Shall Be Free'). In Pieces is no exception as it includes two songs that tackle controversial topics. 'The Night I Called The Old Man Out' deals with a confrontation between a father and his son, and the aforementioned 'The Night Will Only Know' tells the story of two adulterous lovers who hear the sounds of a murder being committed(while lying 'in the back seat') and then keep quiet about what happens. I don't think Garth has made too many friends in Nashville by putting out songs such as these two numbers. However, I believe that overall, Garth made a fine, listenable effort here. ![]() I give In Pieces four stars. On his sixth album, IN PIECES, THE superstar of country music is poised once again to break all sales records. Culling from the style of his idol Billy Joel as much as any country influence, Brooks delves further into the mix of high drama and low places of country pop. Country pedigree aside, Brooks is the quintessential pop star. IN PIECES refers to the random way Brooks collected the songs for the album, but the album is in no way a misguided effort. It is a seamless collection. Most artists are lucky if there is one blockbuster on an album; IN PIECES has several: The broken sword game. 'The Night I Called The Old Man Out,' 'Standing Outside The Fire,' and the 4 1/2 minute epic 'Ain't Goin' Down ('Til The Sun Comes Up).'
