Brooks, Yearwood plan duets disc

Thursday, January 22, 2015 – There used to be Johnny and June, George and Tammy, Porter and Dolly. More recently Tim and Faith. Add Garth and Trisha to the list. That's because Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood are going to release a duets Christmas album.

The two are on tour together with Yearwood coming out to sing some songs, typically during Brooks' set. They also have recorded songs together, but this will be a full-fledged album, a rarity in country music.

When asked about the idea of a duets album, Brooks said at a press conference on Thursday at TD Garden prior to opening his Boston run of shows, Brooks said, "We are trying to get it out this year."

"We'll test the waters," Brooks said about the idea of doing a regular studio album with Yearwood.

"It'll be a duets album, but it will not be like what you've seen before. She's got a lot of strong ideas."

Brooks said the music has yet to be recorded.

CD review - Man Against Machine After releasing his debut album in 1989, Garth Brooks released music almost every year until he announced his retirement in 2000. Since then, he has released repackaged hit collections, new music on "Scarecrow" and "The Lost Sessions" and last year's cover song collection "Blame it All on My Roots." Over the years, there have been live recordings, concert and music video collections. The country songwriter became a pop culture icon, transcending genre to become ...
CD review - Blame It All On My Roots - Five Decades of Influences Garth Brooks is back with his first release of "new" material since 2001's "Scarecrow." (Truth in advertising, his "The Ultimate Hits," which actually is part of the new box set, included four new songs back in 2007). And it's quite an undertaking - four CDs of covers - Country Classics, Classic Rock, Blue-Eyed Soul and Melting Pot, an amalgam of country, rock, soul and folk; the two-CD set, "The Ultimate Set" and a DVD of his live performance in Vegas. ...
