Georgia native Trisha Yearwood has been a major country music star for the past two decades. Her self-titled debut album from 1991 reached the runner-up spot on the Billboard country album chart, an impressive debut for a newcomer. She went on to dominate the Nashville scene with a slew of successful LPs, such as 1996's Everybody Knows and 1998's Where Your Road Leads. Her number-one country singles include "She's In Love With the Boy" "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)," "Thinkin' About You," and "Believe Me Baby (I Lied)." Ms. Yearwood's approach to country and western has earned her praise from the country-music press. As Boot magazine explained, "Yearwood has carved out a very successful and unique niche for herself by finding some of the highest-quality songs in the genre, then recording them in arrangements that bring them to life in a way that is sonically different from any other artist in the commercial country marketplace."
Ms. Yearwood has also acted in TV shows, such as "JAG," in which she played Lieutenant Commander Teresa Coulter, a Navy coroner, on a recurring basis, and she's also had her own Food Network show. After LPs in the 2000s that included 2005's Jasper County and 2007's Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love, she took a break from recording and concentrated on performing concerts. As the 2010s drew to a close, Ms. Yearwood came back to recording in a big way. She released her fourteenth studio alum, Every Girl, in August 2019, which included the track "Every Girl In This Town" and a cover of Karla Bonoff's "Home" - after putting out an LP of Frank Sinatra tunes the previous year.
Fun fact: Trisha Yearwood has been married to Garth Brooks since 2005. That year, she and Brooks duetted on the song "Love Will Always Win," the closing track of her Jasper County album.
Speaking of closure, this post closes my seventh series of beautiful women in music. I'll be back soon with an A-Z set of new subjects . . . after some unfinished business.
