 Its Garth... Apr 07, 2006
By Austin Dalyai
"ATD"
Think about it Garth fans... If you're here, looking at the reviews for this CD, you already love Garth. These are mostly older songs that were in the vault with a couple new ones thrown in for good measure. Never-the-less, it sounds just like we would all want a new Garth album to sound like. Its got honkey-tonk, ballads, rockers, and good re-makes. Its Garth, all the way through.
I would like to spend a little more time reviewing this CD, like I have many others, but it doesnt need it. If you are a fan, you'll like it. If not, dont worry about it. Go look for a CD by an artist that you do like. Just for good measure, I can tell you that Garth uses the same great crew of studio musicians on this that he has on every CD in the past. These guys are as tight as they come. Might not be a better studio-only band in Nashville. Or anywhere for that matter.
In closing, Id like to know where that other reviewer found the new box-set for $40.00, since it was only $25.00 at Wal-mart. And unless you go to Ebay and pay some cheating seller too much money, Wal-Mart is the only place you can buy it. So for the price of one more disc, you might as well get the whole box set anyway. The Lost Sessions disc in the Box is the original. This one is a re-release with 6 more songs on it.

Fantastic May 19, 2006
By Mr. N. Simpson
What an absolutely fantastic album!!!
I live in the UK and therefore was unable to buy the album in any shop (including ASDA which is owned by WalMart).
I therefore had it shipped to me from America via eBay. The first CD was lost in customs and therefore a second one was sent out.
It took 7 weeks to get it but let me tell you it was well worth the wait!!!
This is one of the best (if not the best) Garth albums you can get for the money.
It's fresh, exciting and addictive. I've not been able to stop playing this in my car at full volume. I've had the CD for 2 weeks and pretty much know all the words because I've played it so many times.
My favourite songs are:
Cowgirl's Saddle
My Baby No Esta Aqui
Good Ride Cowboy
In fact all of them!!!
I Hope this helps but if you're still not sure I've got one last thing to say:
BUY IT ANYWAY - YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

 Back in the Saddle May 03, 2006
By "Rocky Raccoon"
"Hey, Doc, It's Only a Scratch!"
Garth Brooks' 'The Lost Session' finds the all-time best-selling cowboy singer back in fine form. Here, like on 'Scarecrow,' Garth has rediscovered fine songwriting and musicianship. The songs' quality harkens back to the early days, yet manages to move forward at the same time. (Lost is any evidence of his middle years when he hit bottom with recordings like 'Fresh Horses'.) Just like 'Scarecrow,' the music is crisper. If anything, the songwriting is even a notch higher and more varied. Garth, fortunately, took his time. (Notice that there are sixteen songs here, so he hasn't taken his fans for granted.) In other ways he pulls out all stops.
The C.D. kicks off with "Good Ride Cowboy," a worthy rodeo song that is nearly as good as his original "Rodeo". However, "My Baby No Esta Aqui," is even better with playful lyrics and a ho-down back up that would leave the liveliest dancer panting. Throughout he captures many styles and gives the C.D. more variety than usual. Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top come to mind when listening to "I'll Be the Wind," but he also comes up with a fine orchestrated patriot song with "American Dream".
Not only does he do well with hot new country, but he also puts in some good ballads. "You Can't Help Who You Love" is good, and he and his newlywed bride, Trisha Yearwood, sing an engaging duet on "Love Will Always Win," a song that's spiritual and philosophical and not just about romance. Garth also waxes philosophical on "I'd Rather Have Nothing," a heartfelt song that couldn't be more sincere, even if he is the closest contender to the Beatles' royalties. Not everything is serious, though. "Under the Table," is clever enough, even if it doesn't hold a candle to his best drinking songs, "Two Pina Coladas" and "Friends in Low Places". He also gets playful with songs like the fine "That Girl Is a Cowboy". There are even two remakes: "Fishin' in the Dark," which he does well, and "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream," which is done alright, but is a good (and surprising) choice.
In my opinion, the album's finest moment is the middle part of "Allison Miranda". Here the musicians take off in flight without any vocals. It shows how much Garth has been a spirited and careful craftsman to give us some of his finest material in years.

Classic Garth Mar 07, 2006
By Music Lover
I must be behind as I just saw this album at Walmart for the first time this morning. While I don't know how lost the 'lost' sessions actually were, this is still a good buy at $11.88 at Walmart and near that everywhere else.
The first song "Good Ride Cowboy" was a #1 hit and is a pretty good song. Personally I think 'That Girl Is A Cowboy' is a better song. There was a big to-do about the duet with Trisha Yearwood which I personally think was overrated as the song isn't bad but it isn't worth all the hype that any duet with Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks gets.
Overall, I think this is a good buy for any Garth Brooks fan that didn't feel the need (like me) to spend $40+ for the Limited Edition to get a small handful of new songs if you already have all of his albums.
I gave this 5 stars as I truly enjoyed this cd and look forward to when (if?) Garth comes out of retirement and starts recording again.

 Even if you love Garth Brooks, this cd will be a disappointment. Mar 21, 2011
By Carpe Bean
"carpe_bean"
I grew up listening to Garth Brooks, have every major album he's ever released, and I was sorely disappointed when I first listened to this cd. Each song slowly fades into the next without any particular track standing out, with the exception of "Allison Miranda", which has a classic Garth Brooks melody but falls seriously short with the lyrics.
The song chronicles a tryst between a man and hitchhiker Allison Miranda, whom he gives a ride and with whom he ends up sharing a motel room for several days. He wakes up to find her gone but with a note indicating she wanted to have a baby and she had what she needed from him. Nice. Sorry, but even with country western's "hard eyed and mean" out look on life, the lyrics just seem a bit, well, a bit trashy.
A couple of the songs do have some redeeming qualities, including "Love Will Always Win" with Trisha Yearwood, but you'd be better off listening to the tracks and purchasing the ones you like individually. When you compare any song on this album with just about any song on his previous albums, it becomes clear why these tracks were "lost".
