Early Life

The Oklahoma native comes from a family of music enthusiasts. From an early age, Brooks was interested in music and learned to play the guitar as well as the banjo. Even though his early interest was in sports, Brooks would regularly perform at family gatherings. It was at the Oklahoma State University, Brooks seriously began pursuing country music and started performing at clubs and bars.

Brooks soon caught the attention of Rod Phelps who offered him to produce his first demo. Encouraged by him, Brooks went to Nashville only to return back home within 24 hours. With destiny calling and on the insistence of Phelps once again in 1987, he moved to Nashville with his then wife Sandy Mahl and went on to make history in country music.

Music and Inspiration

As Brooks was exposed to music from early on, he was always inclined towards rock music. This is the reason one can trace rock and roll influences in his music and his concerts have a rock n roll vibe. Brooks cites James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, and Townes Van Zandt as major influences, but says that he got interested in country music after listening to “Unwound,” the debut single by George Strait. Who was to know that his inspiration would give country music their biggest star of the genre.

Three years later, his second album “No Fences” was another major hit that occupied the number one spot on the Billboard country music chart for weeks. One hit album followed the other, each turning out to be an even bigger than the one before. It seemed there was no stopping the country star determined to etch his name on the country music scene. Brooks released eight studio albums before he went for retirement in 2001 only to return stronger. In total he has released twelve studio albums and seven of them are certified Diamond.
