Scarecrow is the eighth studio album (fourteenth overall) of American Country Music artist Garth Brooks. It was released on Tuesday November 13, 2001. At the time, this was his first album released in four years.
Previous to the release, Brooks quoted: "At the end of last year I made a commitment to Capitol (Records) that I would try to bring them one more album. This is the result of that effort, a real labor of love, that I'm proud to hold up next to all of our previous releases." Describing the CD, Brooks says: For the first time in my life I think I made a happy album. It's heavy on steel guitars, but you're not aware of it in some places because the musicians are so good at what they do.
The song "Beer Run", featured on the album, was nominated for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals at the Grammy Awards of 2002. So far, it has sold five million copies in the U.S. It was named Best Selling Album at the 2002 Canadian Country Music Association Awards.
