Garth Brooks was the 1989 self-titled debut album by country music singer Garth Brooks.

It was both a critical and chart success. It peaked at #2 in the US Country chart and made #13 on the Billboard 200. It went on to sell close to ten million copies worldwide.

It featured his first ever single "Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old", a top 10 success which put an independent cowboy singer, Chris LeDoux, into the mainstream due to the lyric "a worn out tape of Chris LeDoux", and three country #1's: "If Tomorrow Never Comes", "Not Counting You", and one of Brooks' most known songs, "The Dance".

Besides "The Dance", Brooks wrote or co-wrote all the singles and half the tracks of the entire album. Other tracks included "Nobody Gets Off In This Town" and the western saga "Cowboy Bill".
