If you were remotely invested in the roots music scenes in Oklahoma and Texas in the early 2000s, you
knew who The Great Divide was and likely had seen them play a time or two – whether it was their own
show or as part of a festival lineup. The band was playing 200 shows a year and released five albums
together; they eventually signed a record deal with Atlantic Records in Nashville and garnered some
chart success. Garth Brooks even recorded one of their songs.
