Shortly after announcing his upcoming 2014 world tour on Good Morning America, Garth Brooks has spoken further about the tour in a recent phone interview with Minneapolis' BUZ'N 102.9, in which he promises new music to be featured on the tour.
“As excited as you are, I’m a thousand times more excited. It was like a 4,000-pound weight that came off my chest when I just said, ‘Yes I’m coming out [on tour],’” Brooks said. “The world tour is all going to be the stuff you know Garth from and all the new stuff that’s coming. I can’t tell you how excited I am about that. It’s a new tour. New Garth music that I hope gets treated like the old stuff.”
Has Brooks been changed significantly by his decade-long retirement? “I think I’m still the same guy, just now with three daughters in my rear-view mirror as children, what I’ve learned from that,” he said. “The great thing is, as you go there are great people to look toward just like you did then. I used to have my mom and dad; I don’t have them any more but their influences live on.”
He continues, “All you can do is be yourself. If you try to chase what’s new and happening you’re going to fall flat on your face. All I can do is be myself and if you guys accept that and everything’s great and we get to sell records and continue, great. If they say, ‘Hey, Garth you had a good run and it’s over,’ I thank God every night for my children and my wife, and let the chips fall where they may.”

Brooks also discussed the tour in a recent interview on CBS' The Talk, which can be viewed below. “The whole goal in life is to make whatever you’ve done before look small,” he said. “The 2014 World Tour will be the first of a three year world tour. I’m very excited.”
