SEVENS was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Country Album.
A quick glance at the songwriting credits on SEVENS might give you the idea that Brooks, the quintessential proletariat hero, the Springsteen of Nashville, has gone hip on his blue-collared, regular-Joe listeners. "You Move Me" was co-authored by thinking mans's singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis and "Bellau Wood" is a collaboration between Brooks and underground country-rock hero Joe Henry. Fear not, though, because while he's looking outside the usual circle of Nashville writers for material, SEVENS is classic Garth Brooks.
There are downtempo heart-breakers like "I Don't Have To Wonder" and boisterous sing-along numbers such as the Jimmy Buffett-esque "Two Pina Coladas." Garth ups the hormone quotient on the lusty "Take The Keys To My Heart" and adds a touch of bluegrass to "Do What You Gotta Do." A career like his is based on a lot more than good fortune, but SEVENS is sure to be a lucky number, both for Brooks and his legions of fans.
| | Editorial reviews | 3 Stars (out of 5) - ...Brooks still exhibits the touch of a master country craftsman here and there, and when he's on...SEVENS comes up a winner...
