Garth Brooks is set to release the next installment of his The Anthology series, when The Anthology Part IV: Going Home releases Dec. 6. The latest installment features never-before-seen photos and recounts the 14 years Brooks spent in Oklahoma after stepping away from the music spotlight to spend time with his children.

“ Those fourteen years of my life are the ones I’ll always remember. It was life at its best. I learned to be a dad, my girls got to know me, and I’d never for one second regret walking away from a career in order to find all of that,” Brooks said in a statement.

The Anthology, Part IV includes stories and anecdotes from Brooks and others in his life, including fellow artist Trisha Yearwood, to whom Brooks has been wed since 2005, along with stories from other close friends. Part IV also includes six discs highlighting songs from Brooks’s projects The Lost Sessions, Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences and original cuts from Brooks’s early Capitol releases. The project delves into a season of Brooks’s life, beginning on Oct. 26, 2000, when Brooks and Capitol Records celebrated RIAA-certified sales of over 100 million albums, and shocked the industry with the announcement of his retirement from touring (Brooks returned to the spotlight in 2014 when he revealed a headlining tour with Yearwood, and has since launched the Garth Brooks Stadium Tour in 2019, as well as residencies including his Plus One residency).

Brooks released the first installment of his The Anthology Series in 2017, as a five-CD set and a corresponding book that reflected the early years of his career.
