Garth Brooks: One sweet cat

Maggie Klaers | Sunday, May 8, 2022

Music holds the power to take us out of our time and place and make us feel something. The best music, in my opinion, feels like home. Our favorite songs become a place we can escape to or turn to remind us of a memory or place in our life. Musicians have a special talent

You don’t hate country

Mike Donovan | Thursday, April 2, 2020

The phrase “I hate country” rambles in shambling echoes around circles of self-described music nerds: a whiney chorus erupting from a choir of skinny little malcontents with mouths bigger than their record collections. “I hate country!” they sputter, hoping their spray might hit the nearest [Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Dierks Bentley, Toby Keith, Florida Georgia

A ‘Sad Beautiful Tragic’ song bracket: Ranking Taylor Swift’s life work

Claire Rafford and Dessi Gomez | Monday, March 30, 2020

Picture this: it’s day who-even-knows of quarantine, social distancing, self-isolation — whatever you want to call it. You’re stuck inside, away from the comfortable chaos of the tri-campus community. You’ve watched absolutely everything good on Netflix, there’s no sports of any kind to distract from the world and you absolutely cannot play another round of

Orville Peck liberates the cowboy, rides off on his “Pony”

Gina Twardosz | Tuesday, March 3, 2020

In her 1996 Grammy-nominated single, “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?”, singer Paula Cole muses the whereabouts of her real-life John Wayne. She laments the toxic masculinity that underlies the traditional country singer cowboy archetype that makes a figure like the bygone Hollywood star an unrealistic and problematic aspiration.  Yet, she raises an important point:

Garth Brooks takes Notre Dame by storm

Carlos De Loera and Jake Winningham | Wednesday, October 24, 2018

It finally happened. Garth Brooks performed the first-ever concert in Notre Dame Stadium. Two American powerhouses came together to put on a show they each hoped would be a show for the ages. GB. ND. It doesn’t get much bigger than this. Despite a late start and inclement weather, Brooks showed why he was the

Garth Brooks, god of country music, to play sold-out show at Notre Dame stadium

Nora McGreevy and Carlos De Loera | Thursday, October 11, 2018

When Garth Brooks speaks, he preaches. He rambles in run-on sentences, a series of mounting cliches and free associations, all delivered with inexhaustible charm. As Brooks walked into a press conference in August to discuss his upcoming concert at Notre Dame Stadium, dressed in boots and a sweaty t-shirt — he had been working on

Kacey Musgraves shines on ‘Golden Hour’

Matthew Munhall | Thursday, April 5, 2018

The country singer’s debut was filled with the cutting observations of someone who desperately wanted to escape her hometown of
