Sevens by Garth Brooks.

There are 7s all over this album… it’s a real Dan Brown-type situation. That’s right, it’s Garth Brook’s album “Sevens”! We lost count at some point, but there are probably 7 instances of the number 7, or something.

Learnin’ Links:

  • We reference Kevin Spacey in Se7en… not exactly timely. Forgive us—we recorded this a while ago. Oops.
  • The album cover
  • Flannelgraph and the Borscht Belt
  • Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule
  • Fugue and fugue state
  • A Mighty Wind
  • “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)”
  • The Cowboy Church of Junction City, Oregon (I’d link to their site, but… it’s a little bonkers)
  • ​Pierce Pettis, the songwriter
  • “Christmas in the Trenches” (live version!), a  much better song than “Belleau Wood”
  • The Christmas Truce
  • The 1812 Overture is not about the War of 1812
