He indisputably is. He created the entire trash genre that evolved into today’s pop country and not many people argue that fact.

Who came first: Garth Brooks or Brooks and Dunn?

Honest question I never have been a country guy

Garth’s first album was a few years prior to Brooks and Dunn I believe

Honestly, I'd give Garth a pass and blame the people that bought his shitty records.

I feel like I’m the only person in Baton Rouge that never listened to Garth Brooks

The downvotes to your post only illustrate and support your statement. I escaped. My only regret is not doing it decades sooner. Every facet of my life improved when I took that blind roll of the dice and left Louisiana.

Calling Baton Rouge is horrible.

Does it fricking matter? Its a song that gets the crowd excited and people have fun. Im not a huge fan of the song but I like when they play it because it gets the crowd pumped.

No one says its the perfect song.

Calling Baton Rouge seems to be about a truck driver missing an underage hooker. It’s definitely not about missing the state of Louisiana.


I can't stand the song because of the hillbilly fiddle. But I read the lyrics and you're wrong about the meaning.

A truck driver banged a woman with a youthful spirit. Now he calls her when he can using a pay phone (this is why it costs money). This is also why the song is titled - Calling Baton Rouge.

Your hooker fantasies are your own psychological issues.
