Country fans asked for a good old-fashioned honky-tonk song, and Garth Brooks responded with the smash single “All Day Long.”

During an interview with Cody Alan, Garth shared that the tune came out of an experience that he had during the 2018 Country Radio Seminar.  “We were playing Layla’s. A little honky-tonk, about 70 people. And, it hit me. You may play arenas, and you may be lucky enough to play stadiums, but you are a honky-tonk guy. You just are”

It worked! The song has been blasting up the country charts.

Never doubting his instincts, Garth is now asking fans to wear body paint as he readies his 2019 Stadium tour.

2019 is approaching with significant milestones, namely the big tour and new series “Anthology part 3 Live” Garth is about to embark on a massive year ahead. Backstage curiosity prompted Cody’s next question. “What’s something that you could do all day long?” 

Garth never missed a beat in his reply.

“Play music. You’re lucky if you get to do that all day long. Hang out with Trisha Yearwood. You're a lucky man if you get to do that all day long. Hang out with all three of my girls, which as any parent knows, as soon as they get out of college, you can’t find em.” Laughs Garth. “Just the things that you love.”
