Garth Brooks' Daughter Allie Colleen Releases Debut Single 'Work in Progress'
Meaghan McBell
"Work in Progress" introduces the mainstream to potential total package Allie Colleen, a 23-year-old Belmont University graduate and the youngest daughter of Garth Brooks.
Colleen co-wrote the song with Marcus Hummon, the hit songwriter behind the Dixie Chicks' "Cowboy Take Me Away" and Sara Evans' "Born to Fly," and studio engineer Greg Beick. Its lyrics admit that there's always room to grow without conceding long-term goals ("I'm the best I've even been, but not the best I'll ever be").
"When I walked in the studio that day with Marcus and Greg, Marcus already had the entire song structure minus the chorus when we all sat down," says Colleen in a press release. "For the first time I wasn't worried about how commercial the song was or what everyone else was going to think about the song. I was just honest. I think that is why we are so proud and excited to let you all in one who we are, as a work in progress."

Brooks shares Colleen and her older sisters August, age 25, and Taylor, 27, with his ex-wife Sandy Mahl. To commemorate the single's release, Brooks shared a photo online of himself, Colleen and her stepmother, Trisha Yearwood. "What a beautiful voice on your grandmother's birthday … perfect," says Brooks in the photo caption.

Yearwood shared the same photo, pointing even more ears to Colleen's single with an equally sweet caption: "From one work in progress to another, what a beautiful song and your voice sounds amazing!"
If the "Work in Progress" behind the song finds solo success, it'll come in part through the talents recognized by influential radio personality Bobby Bones and others, not just from her family and their loyal social media followers.
"Allie is a pure singer songwriter," Hummon adds. "Her inspiration moves effortlessly from her heart to her mind and out into the world, through her beautiful voice."

Garth Brooks kicks off Dive Bar tour with electrifying, intimate Chicago show The country superstar, more accustomed to playing mega-arenas, proved he has plenty of friends in small places, too. There was a moment during the Garth Brooks concert Monday night at Joe's on Weed Street when the back room of the legendary Chicago venue felt as if it its walls were not able to withstand the sheer power of the six-time CMA Entertainer of the Year combined with the unbridled adoration of his fans. "I've just been waiting to get in a box like this because this is going to explode," Brooks let out in that iconic growl of his before…
Susan Collins and Sara Gideon are raking in cash for a potential 2020 Senate showdown AUGUSTA, Maine — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has raised more money for her nationally targeted 2020 re-election campaign than she did in all but one of her previous four races, but a Democratic challenger with national backing raised more than $1 million in 10 days. The Republican incumbent raised nearly $6.5 million as of June's end, surpassing her total haul in any of her Senate campaigns so far except her race in the Democratic wave year of 2008, when she easily defended her seat against a challenge from Tom Allen, then a sitting Democratic congressman. The 2020 race is expected…
(Sandy) Alex G Shares The Breezy Indie Folk Single 'Hope' And Announces A World Tour Tonje Thilesen So far, it sounds like (Sandy) Alex G's upcoming album House Of Sugar is going to be a diverse record. Last month, he shared the psychedelic single "Gretel," and now he's back with another preview of the album, one that isn't quite in the same stylistic space. Instead, "Hope" is a more straightforward indie folk track with nice melodies and a breezy energy. On top of that, (Sandy) Alex G also announced a bunch of tour dates. He'll be traveling across North America in October and November, and after some time off, he'll be in Europe and the…

San Rafael school district teachers puzzled over $3.73M fund Teachers and residents of San Rafael's recently renamed Dixie School District are questioning why no one has ever told them about a $3.73 million "nest egg" stashed away since 1995 to help with the district's capital projects. "We're perplexed by the (Dixie) board's decision to keep the Dixie Education Foundation a secret since 1995," said Jan Bishop, a kindergarten teacher at what is now called Miller Creek Elementary School District and a representative of the Dixie Teachers Association, in a June 4 letter to the district's board of trustees. "Spending only the annual interest from a $3.5 million dollar nest…
