August 2, 2007 — The Garth Brooks rumor mill is at it again with suspicions of a reported comeback. Dial-Global reports on a Country Aircheck hint that says, "Music Row is buzzing with rumors that one of the biggest stars in format history has recorded an album and is planning a return to the airwaves. While nobody's commenting officially, we hear this soccer dad's choice for a label vehicle is likely to foster spousal harmony." Since Garth is a soccer dad, and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, recently signed to Big Machine Records, the question lies in whether they'll also be label mates. Big Machine will neither confirm nor deny the rumors.
In related news, Dial-Global recently spoke to Rascal Flatts singer Gary LeVox, who says the group has often tried to follow the example set by Garth. "We've had so many naysayers," says Gary. "From day one it's just been kind of a way of life, really for us. You know, we focus on music and writing the best stuff that we can and keep it on that level, 'cause that's how we make our living. What we love to do is make country music and just try to keep pushing the envelope and bettering ourselves. Garth definitely set milestones for us and goals to reach. If we just stay focused on that and not get wrapped up in the other stuff, then that's probably our best bet."
