Garth Brooks came in with an amazing class of country musicians; Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson and more all broke through at about the same time. More than 35 years later, what does the legend think of the current crop of musicians? In an interview with WGN TV, Garth was asked which artists he’s listening to and liking right now, and he showed a lot of love for the women in country. “Guys, It’s harder than ever to be an artist, bar none, but the females in our world, they’re tearing it up right now.” He then pointed to two artists in particular. “Lainey [Wilson], Ella [Langley], they’re tearing it up right now…being the dad of three daughters and being married to one of the greatest singers ever, it’s just, they have to work a thousand times harder to have as much success, so I love to see it.” Women in country are certainly having a day, and Garth is all for it.
