Country Music Hall of Fame member Garth Brooks made a huge announcement this morning, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that he is back!  After retiring in 2001 to take care of his children, he has signed a new record deal with Sony Music, and is making plans for a world tour, and here's a surprise - digital sales of his catalog. Whoa. Digital sales of his music, which have NEVER been made available before, will begin in the next couple of weeks exclusively at garthbrooks.com. Talking about new music -  he said a new single could arrive "sometime in the next two months". All good news for Garth fans, who have missed not only hearing new music, but his high energy shows. Even though he had a residency at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas for a couple of years., it's not the same as a show coming to your town! Welcome back, Garth!
