Time Traveler (album)

Time Traveler is the twelfth[2] studio album by American country musician Garth Brooks, originally released exclusively through Bass Pro Shops on November 7, 2023, and now available to stream on Amazon Music.

Lead single "Rodeo Man" was a song presented to Brooks by Ronnie Dunn and the two recorded it as a duet for this album.

[5] At Stereogum, Chris DeVille called "Rodeo Man" "like a '90s country radio hit, raucous and line-dance-ready, as if the last three decades never happened" and compared it to Brooks & Dunn.

[6] Steven Hyden of Uproxx reviewed the Limited Series box set and criticized the sales tactic, but stated that "Time Traveler is a lot better than a Garth Brooks album released exclusively to Bass Pro Shops in 2023 has any right to be" and praised the music for sounding like Brooks' 1990s output.

[2] Writing for USA Today, Melissa Ruggieri chose "Only Country Music" and "Pleasure in the Pain" as standout tracks for the former's ability to show Brooks' devotion to the genre and the latter's subtle ability to make "a statement that sometimes, feeling bad is the only way to eventually feel better".
