Garth Brooks, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, won't be selling his CDs just anywhere any longer. If you want a Brooks album, you'll soon have to go through Wal-Mart.

In an arrangement that advances a recording-industry trend, Brooks has agreed to sell his work exclusively through Wal-Mart, its Web site and Sam's Clubs, the Wal-Mart-owned chain of warehouse stores. The country crooner isn't making new music -- he retired from recording in 2001 and has vowed not to tour or record until his youngest daughter graduates from high school in 2015 -- but he still sells about 300,000 copies a year of his multi-platinum albums
