In January 2009, Brooks made another one of few public appearances since his retirement, performing at the [[We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial]] concert in Washington, D.C.. In his three-song set, Brooks performed "We Shall Be Free", along with covers of [[Don McLean]]'s "[[American Pie (song)|American Pie]]" and [[the Isley Brothers]]' "[[Shout (Isley Brothers song)|Shout]]".

On October 15, 2009, Brooks suspended his retirement to begin [[Garth at Wynn]], a periodic weekend [[concert residency]] at [[Encore Las Vegas]] on the [[Las Vegas Strip]]. The schedule allowed Brooks both to have the family life during the week and to continue to perform on the weekend. The financial terms of the agreement were not announced, but [[Steve Wynn]] did disclose that he gave Brooks access to a private jet to quickly transport him between [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]] and his home in [[Oklahoma]].<ref name=wynn>{{cite news|last1=Lewis|first1=Randy|title=How Steve Wynn won over Garth Brooks|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/10/garth-brooks.html|access-date=March 7, 2016|newspaper=LA Times|date=October 16, 2009}}</ref>

Brooks' first weekend on shows in Vegas received positive reviews and was called the "antithesis of Vegas glitz and of the country singer's arena and stadium extravaganzas" by USA Today. The shows featured Brooks performing solo, [[Acoustic music|acoustic]] concerts, and included a [[set list]] of songs that have influenced him. Artists covered in the show include [[Simon & Garfunkel]], [[Bob Seger]], [[Billy Joel]], and [[Don McLean]]. His first performances at Encore Las Vegas coincided with his wedding anniversary, and his wife [[Trisha Yearwood]] joined him for two songs.

In 2013, influenced by the set list of the Las Vegas shows, Brooks released ''[[Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences]]'' via Walmart, a compilation album consisting of songs Brooks attributes to the development of his unique country pop genre. The box set's albums were individually certified Platinum and the compilation received a [[Billboard Music Awards|Billboard Music Award]] nomination. In a December 2013 appearance on [[Good Morning America]] to promote the album, Brooks also surprisingly announced plans for a world tour, beginning in 2014.<ref name=gmatour>{{cite web |title= Garth Brooks Announces World Tour on 'Good Morning America' |url = https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2013/12/garth-brooks-announces-world-tour-on-good-morning-america/ |first= Katie |last= Kindelan |website = [[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] |date= December 9, 2013}}</ref>
