Thank you Garth Brooks and Team Garth for including Amanda Colleen Williams in the latest “Garth Brooks The Anthology Part VI The Comeback & The Next Five Years.” It’s a thrill to be part of this project with two of my original songs, “Beer Run” and “I Can Be Me With You.” Have fun reading, listening to the tunes, enjoying the photos, and of course, learning all the stories behind the songs.
