There's nothing quite like walking into the pseudo-outdoor wonderland that is a Bass Prop Shops box store. Smelling all of the various breeds of fresh plastic, seeing the birthplace of all those trucker hats you'll never be able to escape in any given locale populated by men, petting a taxidermy bear; it's all right there.

Another experience you can only have at Bass Pro is buying country star Garth Brooks's new album, Time Traveler. The singer-songwriter's 14th studio release becomes available November 7, exclusively at retail locations.

It's part of a seven-disc limited series collection that includes Brooks's most recent records since he came out of retirement — 2014's Man Against Machine, 2016's Gunslinger and 2020's Fun — and a three-disc Triple Live concert set.

"There are a lot of different eras on this album, thus the name," the musician said of Time Traveler in a statement. "Country music's core is sincerity. After that, you can dress it up a thousand different ways. I am so lucky to live under the flag of country music."

The company added, "In 2022, Garth came to the Midwest to celebrate the opening of the Bass Pro Shops Thunder Ridge Arena near Branson, Missouri, with four days of music, family and fun. Building on this special relationship, we're honoured to help Garth's biggest fans get access to this limited-edition Garth Brooks box set with hits from his legendary career — plus new music, too!"

This collection will mark the third and final release in Brooks's The Limited Series offerings, the first having come out in 1998 and the second in 2005.

Billboard reports that there are currently no plans to release Time Traveler on its own, so fans will have to don their camouflage and pick it up in-store — but if you have an unmistakable "prey" vibe about you, there's always the safety of ordering it online.
