John Russell/CMAGarth Brooks‘ new album, Man Against Machine, isn’t due for official release for another two weeks, but he’s giving fans the chance to hear it now — though only for 24 hours.
Starting at midnight tonight and lasting through the entire 24 hours of Halloween, Garth will make what he’s calling a “sneak peek” of his new album available exclusively on his new music distribution website, GhostTunes.
There’s no word on exactly what that sneak peek will entail, but in an email message to fans, sent in the wee hours Thursday morning, Garth writes, “A friend of mine at GhostTunes asked if we would take a different look at sampling for this new record…he wanted to know if we would speak a little bit on each song as a snippet of the song was playing. Because he asked, we went into studio and tried it. We were all surprised to hear how cool it turned out. Because it was his idea and his ask, I felt it fair to keep this to GhostTunes. Because it is GhostTunes, Halloween seems like the perfect time.”
He adds, “I just thought you all should be the first to hear it if you wanted to. I really hope you like the new music.”
Man Against Machine, Garth’s first album of all-new music since 2001’s Scarecrow, hits retailers November 11.
