The Chase
Garth Brooks
Review:
“The Chase is Garth Brooks’ most ambitious and personal album. Not coincidentally, it is one of his least popular releases, selling about half of what the previous Ropin’ the Wind [did]. But in its own way, The Chase is more rewarding and deeper than Ropin’ the Wind. That’s partially due to Brooks’ naked ambition; not only does he record We Shall Be Free with a gospel choir, but he tackles deeper social and personal issues than he has before” (Erlewine).
“However, the true key to the album is Brooks’ conviction; even when his musical experiments don’t quite work, it’s easy to admire and respect his ambition. Although there are light moments like Night Rider’s Lament and a cover of Little Feat’s Dixie Chicken, The Chase is a more somber, reflective record than his previous three albums; but given a bit of a time, it’s as satisfying as anything he's ever recorded” (Erlewine).
