Influential Music Artists- Country


Garth Brooks

'' Troyal Garth Brooks, best known as Garth Brooks, is an American country music artist who helped make country music a worldwide phenomenon. His eponymous first album was released in 1989 and peaked at number 2 in the US country album chart while climbing to number 13 on the Billboard 200 album charts. Brook's integration of rock elements into his recordings and live performance has earned him immense popularity. This progressive approach allowed him to dominate the country single and album charts while quickly crossing over into the mainstream pop arena, exposing country music to a larger audience. ''





Album Cover Analysis
This Garth Brook's album cover page which called: '' Scarecrow'' contains a lot of elements of Country style of music genre, by choosing a right location, ranch, with the perfect costumes, which gives me a clear idea of what kind of music genre it is. Where, we can see black and white background, with a white writing of his name, which perfectly stands out, as well as the other title which is the name of the album. What I like about it, a very nice and decent medium close-up of him, by showing us his face expression, as he isn't looking directly at us, the audience, but at somewhere else, which doesn't make him look serious, but very calm. I believe that, this appeals to more female audience, as theres just an picture of him, looking like a real cowboy, to represent the Country style of music as well as their style clothes and lifestyle.
