Why no real Garth Brooks Songs?

[MyBella]

I'd really love to be able to access Garth Brooks ..... 😕

Hi @MyBella, welcome to the community!

We want all the world’s music on Spotify. However, some artists and tracks are not currently available. Sometimes agreements can’t be reached with the artist or label, or a change may happen in music ownership.

Thousands of albums and artists are added to Spotify every day. If you can’t find an artist you’re looking for, they may appear (or reappear) soon.

In the meantime, feel free to contact Garth Brooks or his label to ask when he plans to be on Spotify.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

I think that's a pretty poor response. I would like to hear a better reason why my monthly subscription doesn't get me such a world renowned artist such as Garth Brooks. Spotify, you need to get your act together

You can view it as poor, if you like. But Garth Brooks refuses to let his music be played on Spotify. It's not like Spotify can play any song they want to, the artist has to agree to let it happen.

That is also why you do not find him on YouTube or other music sharing programs.

He is on Amazon Music and I really just have it as a supliment for Garth Brooks.

I don't believe amazon offers free music no? Have to have a subscription to prime? Spotify and other outlets offer free even if you pay a subscription. That's why he allows Amazon music

Amazon Prime offers a half off discount for college students, as does spotify. So if you're in school right now, you can sign up for those.

Can you get Amazon music living outside the US?

I just spent a good 20 mins looking for an answer to this and the reason I found is because he has an exclusive deal with amazon music. I think he only wanted to be on one streaming service and he likes amazon best

Garth has said in the past that the reason his music is not on iTunes nor Spotify at least last that I heard, is because he feels that his albums should be played in their entirety and does not want people picking out certain songs as then he feels that he will be missing all the great music on the album. So long story short is he doesn't want people to cherry pick different songs, but instead listen to the whole album in its entirety
