Background
Brooks commented on the album saying:
"Ropin' the Wind was what we called the son of Fences . Ropin' the Wind was made in this kind of tour that we were on from No Fences . We were gone, pretty much 250 days out of the year. And in that remaining 100 days, I elected to cut Ropin' The Wind , and try to write for it. This album became a lot bigger than I ever thought it could possibly be. And when I listen to the singles off of it like 'Rodeo', 'What She's Doing Now', 'The River', 'Papa Loved Mama', and 'Shameless', I look at it and stand very proud. And then when I also look at the cuts, 'Against The Grain', 'Cold Shoulder', these songs I am equally proud of."[7]
