OF COURSE Garth Brooks Has Another “Anthology” Box Set Coming Out Just In Time For The Holidays
Garth Brooks knows how to get the most (money) out of his fanbase.
The country music legend just took to social media to announce that yet another box set is coming out, and this one is just in time for the Holiday season. Because the best way to spread Christmas cheer is buying a box set of Garth for only you to hear. You are likely familiar with the “Anthology” series that Brooks has been putting out over the years. It was earlier in 2025 when Garth and his team released The Anthology Part V: The Comeback – The First Five Years. Around this same time last year, Brooks shared the release of The Anthology Part IV: Going Home.
Someone out there is gonna get a Garth Brooks box set for the second Christmas in a row, because it was just announced that The Anthology Part VI is coming to an Amazon cart or TalkShopLive order near you:
“Announcing Garth Brooks The Anthology Part VI: The Comeback – The Next Five Years! If you’ve lived the music, now you can live the songs and the stories behind them. Anthology VI captures the most recent chapter of Garth’s incredible journey — Stadium highs, dive-bar roots, Vegas magic, and a historic return to Ireland!”

The latest Anthology installment will cost you just $39.95, will ship out December 5th, and will include 6 CDs (do people still have CD players?), 60 songs, a live record from Garth’s Ireland show, and over 150 behind-the-scenes photos.
Feel like that’s a pretty good deal if we were still living in 2007.
Obviously, there are going to be Garth Brooks super fans who get The Anthology Part VI so they can see behind the curtain of Garth’s comeback, and how the “Friends in Low Places” singer navigated the COVID era with drive-in concerts and special Zoom sessions for fans. But there’s a wide crop of people who have moved into the digital age of consuming music and other media, and Garth is undoubtedly missing out on that crowd with these box sets.
If you are reading this and find yourself on the fence about the box set, Garth Brooks is apparently set to give an inside look at the Anthology on December 1st at 7 pm E.T. The show describing the book and CD set will air on Amazon LIVE, Amazon Prime Video FAST, TalkShopLive and Garth Brooks’ website: GarthBrooks.com. If you are reading this and wish that Garth Brooks would release some of this stuff in a more modern fashion, that’s too bad. You better start working semi-annual box sets into your budget.
Most artists out there have a desire to connect with younger, wider audiences. Brooks is content with keeping his collection of music exclusively on Amazon Music, and a TuneIn radio channel that plays his and only his music. Apple Music and Spotify users are out of luck when it comes to streaming Garth, but maybe the country music singer is happy with keeping his older fan base and occasionally convincing them to come up with $40 or $50 books for a book and 6-CD combo?
At least this one isn’t exclusively available at Bass Pro Shops…The post OF COURSE Garth Brooks Has Another “Anthology” Box Set Coming Out Just In Time For The Holidays first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
