Patricia Lynn Yearwood was born in Monticello, Georgia to Jack and Gwen Yearwood, and developed her musical talent in Nashville, Tennessee, where she interned as a receptionist for the local company MTM Records.
Garth Brooks and Yearwood first met in October 1987 recording demos for songwriter Kent Blazy. The two immediately hit it off as friends, and pledged whoever made it big first would help the other out. When Garth landed a major tour in 1991, he brought Trisha along to open all of his shows. Even when they became two of the biggest country stars of the 1990s, they remained close friends.
Yearwood's self-titled debut album was released in 1991, and the lead single, "She's in Love with the Boy," went to the top of the country charts, making her an instant star. Yearwood secured similar success with the 1992 release of "Hearts in Armor", which featured the hit singles “Wrong Side of Memphis,” and “Woman Walk the Line”.
The title track of 1993's "The Song Remembers When" went to number two, and she followed it with a Christmas album, "The Sweetest Gift", in 1994; that year, she also won her first Grammy award. In 1995, Yearwood released her fourth studio album, "Thinkin' About You". The lead single, "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, her first #1 since her debut single, followed by her third #1 single, "Thinkin' About You". Yearwood performed at the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
In 1997, Yearwood issued her first compilation, "(Songbook) A Collection of Hits", which became her first album to top the country charts and also reached the pop Top Five. She won a Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy for “How Do I Live”. Yearwood's two additional new singles from her Songbook album were major hits, "Perfect Love", which peaked at #1, and a duet with Brooks, "In Another's Eyes". Yearwood was also named "Top Female Vocalist" in 1997 by the Academy of Country Music and won the "Female Vocalist of the Year" award from the Country Music Association in 1997 and 1998.
In 1998, Yearwood won her third Grammy and released her next all-new album, "Where Your Road Leads". Yearwood was inducted into the famed and historic Grand Ole Opry in 1999, cementing her status as a true icon in country music. 2000's "Real Live Woman" was a more personal outing that reflected some of her heartbreak and turmoil caused by her divorce from her husband at the time. She released her eighth studio album in 2001, "Inside Out". The lead single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway" became a Top 5 Country hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Country Chart in 2001 and became her first Top 10 since 1999, and her last single to reach the Top 10 to date. Yearwood also played Lt. Cmdr. Teresa Coulter on the TV show JAG as a Navy coroner and forensic pathologist who aids JAG on several cases (seasons 3-7, 7 episodes).
After a three year hiatus from recording albums, Yearwood released her ninth studio album "Jasper County" in 2005. The album was a return to a more country sound than her last several studio recordings. The first single, "Georgia Rain," set the tone for the album, with Yearwood altering the lyrics to pay homage to her home, singing about "the Georgia rain on the Jasper County clay."
In late 2006, Yearwood announced she was parting ways with MCA Records. MCA then released a "Greatest Hits" CD on September 11, 2007. The album features two new songs, plus fifteen other tracks covering her career from 1991-2001. MCA also released "Love Songs" on January 15, 2008; an album made up of previously released tracks from her prior MCA albums. Yearwood's tenth album, "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love", was released by independent Nashville label Big Machine Records in November 2007, and spawned 3 singles, with the title track peaking at #19 on the Billboard Country Chart.
Yearwood has won three Grammy Awards among several nominations. She has also won the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards for Best Female Performer (CMA: 1997, 1998; ACM: 1997).
She married her first husband, Christopher Latham, in 1987 but the two divorced in 1991. Trisha married Robert Reynolds, the bass player for The Mavericks, on May 21, 1994, and they divorced in 1999.
On May 25, 2005, Yearwood became engaged to fellow country superstar and longtime friend Garth Brooks in front of 7,000 fans. On December 10, 2005, they were married in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Owasso, Oklahoma. It was Brooks' second marriage and Yearwood's third. Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage--Taylor, August, and Allie.
Trisha hit the country charts in 2006 with a duet with her husband called "Love Will Always Win". It was the fifth duet the couple has recorded; the others were "In Another's Eyes," "Where Your Road Leads," "Wild as the Wind," and "Squeeze Me In."
Yearwood lives on a ranch in Owasso, Oklahoma with husband Brooks and his three daughters. When she's not touring, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and reading. In April 2008, she released a cookbook entitled "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen".

Thinkin’ About You
Trisha Yearwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all day through, and all night long
I've been thinkin' about you
I've been thinkin' about you
The look in your eyes
When you smile that way
The sound of your voice
I've been thinking about you
Just keep thinking about you
This single minded fascination I've got
Do you call it love
If you don't then what
All I know is I don't know what you've done
And this train of thought ain't about to jump
The track that it's on
In the back of my mind
There's a secret place
But the whole world knows by the smile on my face
That I've been thinkin' about you
Can't stop thinkin' about you
Think about you
This single minded fascination I've got
Do you call it love
Well if you don't then what
All I know is I don't know what you've done
And this train of thought ain't about to jump
The track that it's on
I know it's crazy
Calling you this late
When the only thing I wanted to say
Is I've been thinkin' about you
Yeah, just keep thinkin' about you
Oh, I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh, I'm always thinkin' about you
And I do love thinkin' about you
Yeah
In Trisha Yearwood's song Thinkin’ About You, she expresses the emotions that come with being absorbed by the idea of somebody. She starts off by confessing that she is not entirely sure what is happening, yet she is constantly consumed by their thoughts. Throughout the day and night, the person remains at the forefront of her mind, and she feels powerless to resist them. She gets lost in the way they make her feel, like the look in their eyes when they smile and the sound of their voice calling her name. Yearwood acknowledges the single-minded focus that she has, which borders on an obsession but is unsure whether to label it as love or not, and the song's theme revolves around this ambiguity. This train of thought is steadfast on its course, and she knows that it is not changing direction any time soon. It becomes apparent that she is open about her fixation as she reveals that the whole world knows, and the smile on her face is the betrayer. While it is somewhat crazy that she is calling so late, all that she wanted to say was that she had been thinking about the person.

Not long ago I lost my wife of 13 years to breast cancer. She was a big fan of Trisha. My wife was an incredible woman, beautiful and what a voice. I listen to Trisha sing and imagine that my wife is singing to me the songs. Some how it comforts me even with the deep sorrow that I feel. My wife was a small town country girl that fell in love with this big town west coast boy. I feel very lucky that I was able to be a part of her life. I miss you sweetheart, I can't stop thinking of you, XOXOXOXO
@elizabethromine2890
❤ damn that brought me to tears, I’m so sorry for your great loss no doubt, she sounds like one in a million & she is most definitely still very much with you when you listen to this artist ❤❤❤❤ Never alone, Far from being forgotten.. may this message reach you with love & even more fondless for the love you once shared with your late wife. Your guy’s love sounds like it was indeed Incredible 🔥❤
@corydestein3160
This is when Trisha really separated herself from other female country artists. Her phrasing, attitude, and appeal just seeps through with her phrasing and styling on this album.
@mikeknowles8017
I think Trisha Yearwood may very well have recorded one of the best Country Western songs of all time here. This record really holds up.
@taylorharris1796
Trisha was my favorite country artist in the mid 90s. She was able to adapt to pop culture yet maintain her country roots, which is hard thing to do.
@Dragonflyy826
Could not agree with ya more sweets!! I don't believe there's a thing out there she CANNOT sing! And sing it well! Love her soo much! ♡
@largecarz
Eddie Bayers and Brent Mason--the greatest drummer/guitarist duo of all time in country music! The sick groove of this outro is what got me hooked on 90's country forever.
@mindyutz9203
This is one of my all time favorite songs. It means so much to me. Grant was non-verbal until he was eight years old...but when he was about 4-5 years old we were driving down Mansfield Avenue and I was listening to "Thinkin About You" by Trisha Yearwood when all of a sudden Grant belted out an entire line to the song. I could not pull off onto a side street fast enough. I thought I would wreck. I threw it into park and turned around screaming "SING IT AGAIN BABY! SING IT FOR MOMMY!!".
@Sandydize
Trisha has a beautiful voice and as far as l am concerned is a beautiful person on the inside. Love your music and your cooking show.
@romanstar7550
