Garth Brooks is not just another country singer — he is the artist who shaped 90s country music. He still has one of the largest fan bases in the genre and his tours still sell out. So it feels natural to expect his music to be on Spotify. Yet when you search his name there, you mostly find fan uploads and a few live recordings. You can even hear his voice in a few tracks, but these are not official Garth Brooks releases. His real studio albums like No Fences and Ropin’ the Wind, along with his newer records, are missing from Spotify. At the same time, Reddit threads and news sites keep saying that he is “coming to Spotify”.
So what is going on? Why is Garth Brooks not on Spotify? And will that ever change? This guide breaks it down. It also shows where you can stream his full catalog and how to save his songs offline.
Why Is Garth Brooks Not on Spotify?
Short answer: exclusivity. His choice.
Garth Brooks has always been extremely selective about where his music appears. This didn’t start with streaming. Even in the CD era, his albums were sold through limited retailers, most famously Walmart. When streaming platforms arrived, he continued with the same approach. Instead of putting his catalog everywhere, he signed an exclusive deal with Amazon Music. That decision explains why his music is missing from Spotify and Apple Music.
Once you open Amazon Music, you’ll find his full, official catalog, including:
- No Fences
- Garth Brooks (debut album)
- Ropin’ the Wind
- The Chase
And his signature tracks:
- Friends in Low Places
- If Tomorrow Never Comes
- The Dance
Amazon Music is the only major platform where these albums and songs are officially available.
Of course, you can find Garth Brooks songs on YouTube, but there’s an important catch.
- Most uploads are fan-made
- Some are ripped from old CDs or live recordings
- Some are greatest-hits compilations uploaded by third-party channels
These uploads are not official. In fact, many of these are taken down occasionally due to copyright claims. So even planning to stream there is unreliable.
On Spotify and Apple Music, you won’t find his official studio catalog at all. In fact, some of his tracks occasionally appear on Spotify and then disappear quickly. Those are fan uploads, not releases approved by him. So they get taken down quickly.
For now, the only solo Garth Brooks album you’ll find on Spotify is: Live in Germany 1995. That’s it. No “No Fences”. No “Ropin’ the Wind”. No studio catalog.
Howevecr, Garth Brooks’ voice does appear on Spotify through collaborations and special appearances on other artists’ releases. These are officially available because the primary artist is someone else. Here are some songs you can find on Spotify:
- Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy — Chris LeDoux, Garth Brooks
- Shallow — Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks
- In Another’s Eyes (2014 Re-Recorded Version) — Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks
- Where Your Road Leads — Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood
- If Tomorrow Never Comes – Live — Garth Brooks (from a live compilation)
- Friends In Low Places – Live — Garth Brooks (from a live compilation)
In all, you can hear his voice on Spotify, but not his albums and not his catalog, the way fans expect.
Will Garth Brooks Ever Be on Spotify?
It’s possible. But it comes down entirely to his decision.
As of now, there is no solid sign that a full Garth Brooks release on Spotify is coming. If it ever happens, it won’t be quiet. Keep in mind that Garth Brooks is:
- One of the best-selling solo artists of all time.
- Around 157 million certified albums sold in the U.S. alone.
- His tours still sell out.
- His fan base is huge.
So Spotify would promote it heavily. There would be banners everywhere. It would be a big moment. For the moment, the direction is clear: no Spotify release.

Option 1. Stream with Amazon Music
People who mainly want streaming on phone, desktop, Alexa, Echo speakers and CarPlay by pressing Play.
As Garth Brooks has an exclusive streaming deal with Amazon, Amazon Music is the only major platform where his entire studio catalog is officially available. There’s nothing hidden or incomplete there. If it’s a Garth Brooks album, it’s on Amazon Music.
How to Stream Garth Brooks on Amazon Music
- Open Amazon Music on the web or use the mobile app.
- Search for Garth Brooks and open his artist page.
- Pick an album or playlist and start streaming.
Option 2. Purchase Songs for Offline Listening
People who want actual offline files (MP3) — files you own, can move to any device or music player for personal use and aren’t locked into the Amazon Music app.
This route is for listeners who don’t like app-based downloads and want full control. You buy the music once, download it as MP3, and play it anywhere, like laptop, phone, car USB and old MP3 player.
You can buy Garth Brooks songs through Amazon’s digital music store. One thing to know: For many of his albums, individual song purchases aren’t always available. Amazon usually sells them as full albums.
Still, you can buy:
- Digital MP3 albums
- Physical formats like audio CDs, vinyl, and sometimes other editions
- Older listings via resellers (for example, eBay), if you’re collecting
For example:
- The Ultimate Hits is listed as an MP3 download for around US$11.93.
- No Fences is often listed around US$8.93 as a digital album.
How to Find and Buy Digital MP3s Versions of Garth Brooks Music:
- Go to amazon.com.
- Search Garth Brooks album and open the album page.
- Click Purchase options.
- Choose MP3 download (or CD/vinyl, if that’s what you want).
Once you buy a MP3, you can download it and play them anytime, anywhere without even needing an Amazon Music subscription.
Option 3. Play Offline via Amazon Music Downloads
Users who want offline listening inside the Amazon Music app.
If you have an Amazon Music subscription, you can download Garth Brooks albums or songs for offline listening. The subscription type matters here.
- Amazon Music Prime will only allow downloads for all-access playlists.
- For full control on Garth Brooks album or songs downloads, you will need an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.
How to Download Garth Brooks Music with Amazon Music:
- Search Garth Brooks on Amazon Music mobile or desktop app.
- Open the desired album or song, click the three dots on the right and choose Download.
Once downloaded, you can turn on offline mode and listen without the internet.
If you simply don’t want to purchase every album individually, there’s another practical way to save the songs. You can use Mediaio Audio Converter.
Mediaio comes with a built-in Amazon Music player, which means you can sign in using your Amazon Music account and browse Garth Brooks’ catalog the same way you normally would inside Amazon Music. Albums, playlists, artist pages — everything looks familiar. The difference is that Mediaio adds a convert button. It lets you save them directly as MP3 files in high quality (up to 320kbps), roughly the same quality you’d get when buying MP3s.
Once converted, you can store the Garth Brooks songs locally on your computer. And they will behave like normal MP3 files, meaning that you can play them with any media player and even move them to other personal devices.
