BBC Radio 2 - The Country Show with Bob Harris, Trisha Yearwood is in session

After seven years away from music, Trisha Yearwood is in session.

Seven years after her last release, Trisha Yearwood is back with a brand new album "Prizefighter". Recorded in Nashville, she plays live versions of two songs from it and talks to Bob about her career.

Yearwood rose to fame in 1991 with her debut single "She's in Love with the Boy", which became her first No. 1 single and was featured on her self-titled debut album. Yearwood has continued to find much success and widespread critical acclaim releasing a further 10 studio albums, which spawned eight more No. 1 singles and 20 top-10 hits combined, including "Walkaway Joe," "The Song Remembers When," "Thinkin' About You," "I'll Still Love You More," and "I Would've Loved You Anyway." In 1997 Yearwood recorded the song "How Do I Live" for the soundtrack of the movie Con Air, becoming her signature song, achieving high positions and sales worldwide and winning her a Grammy Award. She has also recorded successful duets with her husband, country superstar Garth Brooks, including "In Another's Eyes," which won the couple a Grammy Award.

Yearwood has sold more than 12.5 million albums worldwide, and has won three Grammy Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, an American Music Award, and a Pollstar Industry Award for touring. Aside from her success in music, Yearwood has also ventured into writing, releasing three successful cookbooks, which earned her the status of two-time New York Times Bestselling author. Since April, 2012, Yearwood hosts a culinary series on American TV, titled Trisha's Southern Kitchen, for which she has won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Culinary Program.
