Man Against Machine includes 14 brand-new songs, three of which list Brooks as a cowriter: the title track, "She's Tired of Boys" and "Rodeo and Juliet."

The album drops Nov. 11 and is Brooks' first full-length studio release since Scarecrow in 2001. During a preview of the album held Friday morning in Nashville, Brooks called the album one of his most personal pieces of work to date. He also gave an acoustic performance of a Man Against Machine song called "Mom," written by Don Sampson and Wynn Varble.

"Music has always been a reflection of where mankind is at the time," Brooks said in an earlier press statement about the album. "For 14 years, I have watched heart and soul, dreams and individualism, fighting for their very existence in a world of increasing technology. This album is a reminder to all those who dream, work, and fight for what they believe; do not give up your vision."
