"My mom listened to this stuff non-stop when I was a kid." Brooks said, "There's no way this music wasn't going to be in my blood." Brooks proves this sentiment with his rendition of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" and when he delivers the male version of Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train To Georgia." With many more of the songs that defined an era, Garth Brooks' BLUE-EYED SOUL is timeless.
In 2009, casino and resort visionary, Steve Wynn, brought Brooks out of retirement, and one of the most successful runs in Las Vegas history began a run with three straight years of sold-out shows at the Wynn Resort. "When Mr. Wynn and I started," said Brooks, "we agreed that there would come a time when we would bring this show to the people who couldn't see it in person." And that is exactly what Wynn and Brooks have done. Come take the journey through time, as Brooks shares his memories of his childhood and the soundtrack behind it. You'll watch Garth Brooks' BLAME IT ALL ON MY ROOTS Live At The Wynn over and over and over again.
