We made it, Garthologists — the final five videos on the Ultimate Hits DVD are officially in the books! 🎉

In this episode, Deb, Pete, and Jess wrap up their full journey through all 33 music videos from Garth Brooks’ Ultimate Hits collection (as featured in the 2013 Blame It All on My Roots box set). And what a ride it’s been.

From emotional storytelling to tribute performances and a few delightfully quirky creative choices, this final batch delivers everything we love about Garth — heart, humor, and unforgettable moments.

You’ll hear us break down:

• The emotional punch of “When You Come Back to Me Again”
• A heartfelt tribute in “Good Ride Cowboy”
• The haunting storytelling of “More Than a Memory”
• The unexpected (and hilarious) NASCAR vibes of “Working for a Living”
• And the campfire-to-dive-bar chaos of “Midnight Sun”

Plus, we reflect on what this entire DVD journey has meant — and why revisiting these videos feels like opening a time capsule of Garth magic.

If you’ve been along for the whole series, this is your victory lap. And if you’re just joining us — welcome to the party. 🤠

We’re back and diving deeper into the Ultimate Hits DVD from Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences — and y’all… we are officially in the home stretch!

In this episode of Garthology, Deb, Pete, and Jess break down videos 24–28, and this batch has a little bit of everything: beachy vibes, honky-tonk energy, iconic duets, and even a legendary CMA Awards moment.

From the laid-back fun of “Two Pina Coladas” to the electric pairing of Garth Brooks and George Jones on “Beer Run,” this stretch reminds us just how much variety Garth packed into his video catalog. And let’s just say… there may or may not be a surprise “belt buckle watch” segment you didn’t know you needed 👀

Plus, we get a long-awaited official video for “In Another’s Eyes” with Trisha Yearwood that fans waited years to see — and it does NOT disappoint.

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the music, or just missing Garth like the rest of us, this episode is packed with fun moments, hot takes, and plenty of reasons to dust off that DVD set.

We’re back with another deep dive into Garth Brooks’ Ultimate Hits DVD from the Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences box set — and this time we’re tackling videos 19 through 23!

In this episode, Deb, Pete, and Jess continue working their way through Garth’s legendary music video catalog, revisiting everything from rowdy concert performances to emotional storytelling moments that remind us why these songs still hit so hard.

Along the way, we talk about the live energy of “American Honky Tonk Bar Association,” the absolutely chaotic Central Park performance of “The Fever,” and the swoon-worthy moments in “To Make You Feel My Love.” We also dive into the storytelling power of “The Beaches of Cheyenne,” and end the episode with a discussion of “The Change,” a video that honors the heroes and victims of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Some videos made us laugh, some made us wish for a different creative approach, and one reminded us just how powerful music can be when it connects to real-world events.

If you’ve been missing a little Garth in your life lately, this episode is packed with the kind of nostalgia that keeps us coming back to these songs again and again.

So grab your cowboy hat, turn the volume up, and join us as we continue our journey through Garth’s incredible video history.

We’re back in the DVD player, friends!

In this episode of Garthology, we continue our deep dive into the Ultimate Hits DVD from Blame It All On My Roots: Five Decades of Influences — and today we’re breaking down videos 14 through 18.

From the sweet studio vibes of Learning to Live Again, to the iconic Trisha stage rise in That Summer, to one of Garth’s most powerful storytelling videos ever in Standing Outside the Fire… we are feeling all the feelings. And yes — we also have thoughts about that Callin’ Baton Rouge video. (Jimmy. That’s all we’re saying.)

We talk:

• Missed opportunities for cinematic storytelling
• The moment Garth smiles and it’s basically heart-eyes central
• 90s concert chaos
• Why Standing Outside the Fire still hits decades later
• And how rewatching these videos fills that little Garth-shaped hole when there’s no tour and no Inside Studio G

If you’re missing live Garth like we are, this episode will take you right back to the stage lights, the water bottle splashes, and the absolute madness of those 90s shows.

Put the DVD in, we’re going back in time.

Some of Garth’s most cinematic songs never actually had music videos... but what if they had?

In this solo episode of Garthology, Deb steps into the director’s chair and imagines the epic music videos that never happened. No CMT premiere. No sweeping crane shots. No dramatic fade-to-black endings. Just pure fan imagination.

From the sweeping battlefields of “Ireland”, to the dusty farmland of “Alabama Clay,” to the full-blown Western saga of “In Lonesome Dove,” Deb walks us through the stories she sees every time she presses play.

These aren’t radio singles.
They’re deep album cuts.
And for true fans? That’s where the magic lives.

Grab your headphones and get ready to picture it all in your mind’s eye — because sometimes the best music videos are the ones we create ourselves.

We’re back, Garthologists! 🤠

In this episode of Garthology, we continue our deep dive into The Ultimate Hits DVD from the 2013 box set Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences—and this stretch of videos brings all the feels.

From the laser-focused intensity of “Shameless” to the high-energy chaos of “Papa Loved Mama” on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise, to the emotional punch of “The River” (yes, we talk about the crowd surf 👀), and the gut-check brilliance of “We Shall Be Free,” this run of videos might be one of the most emotionally layered sections of the entire DVD.

We debate when a concert performance works better than a traditional narrative music video (looking at you, “What She’s Doing Now”), celebrate songwriter Kim Williams on the 10th anniversary of his passing, and reflect on how some songs feel even more urgent today than when they were first released.

There’s nostalgia.
There’s patriotism.
There’s pre-cell-phone concert magic.
There are tears.
And yes… there’s a hip swivel.

If you’ve ever swayed your arms during “The River,” screamed along to “Papa Loved Mama,” or felt your heart crack open during “We Shall Be Free,” this episode is for you.

Love will always win. ❤️

We recorded this episode on the 10th anniversary of the passing of songwriter Kim Williams. Check out his daughter Amanda Colleen Williams’ tribute and playlist celebrating his incredible songwriting legacy on her website: https://www.amandacolleenwilliams.com
