Not really. In fact, it wasn’t until his third album came out that I realized this was the same “Garth.” I couldn’t believe it. He isn’t a great singer. (But neither was Bob Dylan.) He is just OK on guitar. He hooked up with a good writer and he made big flamboyant shows. But people here in Oklahoma love Toby and Blake much more than Garth. Toby was just a normal guy. He hung out at local places around OKC and Norman and put off no airs. His death was a huge loss here. And Blake is the same. He has a restaurant and music hall in Tishomingo (where I lived back in the ‘90s) and he shows up there from time to time and puts on a show for those dining. Does it unannounced. And he shops at the local stores in Tishomingo and Madill. I have a lot of family down there and they see him all the time. Blake buys horses from my cousin and he sometimes just hangs out at her house. They are mega stars, but just good guys. Garth...not so much.
