Song:She's In Love With The Boy
Album:Greatest Hits
Trisha Yearwood started out as a backup singer for Garth Brooks and became one of the biggest country music stars of the 90s. She's In Love With The Boy was her first number one country hit and her debut single in 1991. She was born Sept. 19, 1964 in Monticello, GA which is a small town in the central part of the state. It doesn't look like she gave much thought to performing professionally until she was studying accounting at the University Of Georgia. In 1985, she transferred to Belmont University in Nashville and majored in music business and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 1987. She went to work for MTM Records and started recording demos and background vocals for new artists. One of those artists was Garth Brooks. They became friends and he brought her to his producer Allen Reynolds. Reynolds brought her to Garth Fundis who had produced Alabama and Don Williams among others. She recorded demos and at a 1990 showcase, she was spotted by producer Tony Brown and was signed to MCA Nashville soon after. Then she went on tour with Brooks. She's In Love With The Boy was her debut single and it topped the country singles chart in 1991. She was the first female country artist in almost 20 years to top the country charts with a debut single. Marie Osmond was the last to do that in 1973. She's In Love With The Boy was written by Jon Ims who has also written hits for Reba McEntire and Confederate Railroad. Her debut CD sold a million copies and was certified 2XPlatinum. So she made a pretty big splash. Trisha's success continued through the 90s but she started to fade at the turn of the century. She also did some acting especially with a recurring role on the TV series JAG. Trisha has been married three times and is currently married to Garth Brooks. She left MCA after her 2005 CD Jasper County and signed with Big Machine Records. You can get all her MCA hits on this comp. She knows Big Machine owner Scott Borchetta from her MTM days. Her 2008 Big Machine debut CD Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love did well. But Trisha decided not to tour and it is not known as yet when she plans to record new music. She did write her second cookbook Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood last year and she toured to support that. Here's the video for She's In Love With The Boy by Trisha Yearwood.
