Garth Brooks was the inaugural recipient of the No Fences Award at the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville.<\/p>\n
In an interview following the event, he had this to say.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love how in this award\u2019s criteria it lists that a recipient is someone who \u2018defied traditional standards\u2019, I did not know that they would give an award for someone who defied traditional standards. I really don\u2019t think we defied it. Hopefully in our music you can hear [Merle] Haggard, you can hear [George] Jones, you can hear George Strait. But also in our music you can hear [Bob] Seger\u2026you can hear James Taylor\u2026and you can hear the greatest of a lot of genres \u2013 hopefully in our stuff.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Garth’s last tour averaged an audience of 95,000 in each city.<\/p>\n
