Garth Brooks announced he’d be dropping the next installment in his “Anthology” series this November. Well, now he’s revealed the cover of the release, as well as the exact date we’ll get it. “Anthology Part II, The Next Five Years” is set to drop November 15th (just in time for Christmas shopping), with the new cover featuring a silhouette of Garth’s face with the American flag across it. The new set will cover the years 1996 to 2001, which includes stories about the albums “Fresh Horses,” “Sevens,” “The Limited Series,” “Double Live” and “Scarecrow.” It will also feature a six disc set of highlights from the albums. The anthology includes excerpts from stars like Bob Dylan, Keith Urban, Steve Wariner and more, with Garth noting, “I learned a lot," adding, “The interviews just floored me.” Wife Trisha Yearwood adds, “The way I see it, Garth spent the first five years of that crazy ride just hanging on for dear life! In the second five years, you start to see a captain steering his own ship."
