A few months after the release of his 1989 self-titled debut album, Brooks supported the northeast U.S. leg on the superstar’s 1989 Christmas tour. The friendship and lessons that Brooks learned from Rogers have stayed with him ever since. Brooks, who inducted Rogers into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013, remembers his early days with Rogers.
Kenny Rogers, by working with him, became one of my heroes. Just watching how he treated his band, his guys, everybody, they’d all been with him for 100 years. It was like, “This is how you do it.” I’m really, really thankful that Bob was smart enough to tell me to get on that tour. Off the road, he was always with his band and crew. They’d play basketball. They’d do everything. That strengthening, that treating it like a sports team and having team dinners and stuff was great. We have at least one, maybe two guys, off that tour with us because they were such high quality people. When we were looking for a rigger, Lanny Landers, the guy who’s been with us since 1991, 1992, was Kenny’s rigger. If I [stole] him from Kenny, it’s the best thing I ever did.
