Garth Brooks: he and his late mother
The singer said that he will be staying an "album guy" during the era of digital singles.
"In fact, concept albums are really blowing my mind right now, because if you want to promote an album, think about it — a concept album might be the way to go," he said. "The great thing about albums is it gives you a lot of choices, and we can all say that the album business is dead, but watch Taylor Swift. I don't think it's dead. I just think we've got to hit on the energies that make people want to collect albums."
There's no concept ironed out at this point, but Brooks loves the idea of songs telling a continuous story. Fans who are into the idea of Brooks cutting a concept album won't have to wait too long either. While there was a 13-year gap between the singer's last two albums, it sounds like his next release will be out before next year.
"We're planning on hearing something new from us hopefully around Christmas, or next spring," he added. "If you remember us, we do one about once a year, so it's coming up. It just seemed to work for us as far as the tour, being refreshed and new with new gas in it and stuff, the new music in it."
