Garth Brooks<\/a> is almost done with Fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On Monday night (Jan. 21), Brooks shared the news during his Inside Studio G on Facebook that his upcoming album will likely be released in the spring. \u201cWe\u2019re going to probably wrap it up this week. Maybe one more session after this week, but I think this is going to be it for us as far as cutting stuff,\u201d Brooks said, estimating that it \u201cshould be out probably sometime this spring.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the album\u2019s name, it\u2019s going to be Fun<\/em>. As in, the songs will be fun, the mentality about making the music will be fun, and the tour will be fun. So why not name it aptly?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just going to call it Fun.<\/em> There it is. That\u2019s all it\u2019s going to be,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just been a fun thing to go through, especially being off from touring where you don\u2019t have to worry about if your voice is going to be able to go in for sessions or not. You just get to go in when you want. So, this has been a fun experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be fun. The whole album has been built on that,\u201d he promised.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to go in and out of the studio while being on the tour, working with the same guys, it\u2019s been amazing. The album will be available this spring and I want the fans to just have fun with this, because that\u2019s what this has been,\u201d he explained in a press release after the Facebook session.<\/p>\n

And it all makes sense, because Brooks definitely knows how to have fun. He\u2019s proven it over and over again in the last 30 years. He\u2019s given his fans light-hearted tunes like \u201cFriends in Low Places,\u201d \u201cTwo of a Kind, Workin\u2019 on a Full House,\u201d \u201cAin\u2019t Goin\u2019 Down (\u2019Til the Sun Comes Up),\u201d \u201cAmerican Honky-Tonk Bar Association,\u201d \u201cLongneck Bottle,\u201d \u201cTwo Pi\u00f1a Coladas,\u201d and his latest single \u201cAll Day Long.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while he knows his way around a good time, honky-tonk song, Brooks has also knows how to craft a sad, sad, no-fun song. He has a long list of cuts to his name, all about heartbreak, regret<\/a>, cheating, drinking, and death by bull. (This is, to me, one of his saddest songs.)<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, most of his albums since his self-titled debut from 1989 have had a perfect balance of the fun and the no fun. So with this new one, will it be 100 percent fun songs? Or will fans get even a tiny glimpse of heartbreak? As soon as we get more details and\/or a track list, we will let everyone know.<\/p>\n
