Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, my friend, greetings. I love this time of year.
I love being in the kitchen this time of year.
I came out of the kitchen to do this podcast
with you. The barn that we live in, we live
in a barn Dominium now is on the second floor
(00:24):
of an old barn, and my studio is right off
the kitchen. I open my studio door, I'm in the
dining room. Kitchen heart of my home. The kitchen is
the heart of the home, and nothing could be more
true in any home that I've lived in. It's where
all the good stuff happened, the wonderful smells, the best conversations,
(00:49):
the nourishment of body and soul. And it's especially true
in the autumn and winter, when we're spending so much
more time indoors. As you're mixing up another batch of
pumpkin bread, stirring up a pot of butternut bisk tossing
together a kale, pear and pecan salad, I'm sure you
(01:11):
got a little music playing in the background. Maybe it's
something from the Lovely Tricia Yearwood. Tricia's nineteen ninety one
debut singles She's in Love with the Boy, became a
number one hit on the Billboard Country Singles Chart, and
its corresponding debut album sold over two million copies. We
(01:34):
soon became accustomed to new hits from Tricia dropping with regularity.
But Tricia, who's sold over fifteen million records worldwide, earned
three Grammy Awards and is a three time Academy of
Country Music winner, as well as earning three Country Music
Association Awards. She has interest and talents that extend far
(02:00):
beyond her music, like writing and publishing three New York
Times bestselling cookbooks, creating the cooking show Tricia's Southern Kitchen
on the Food Network, which earned her a Daytime Emmy Award.
She's also branched into designing home goods and cookware her
(02:20):
Tricia Yearwood Home collection. She's even created a pet product line,
I've been in her home, I've been in her kitchen,
I've met her pats. There's seemingly no end to her
skills and her ambition, which is good news for us.
Last time we caught up with each other was in
twenty nineteen. Tricia gave a dazzling Valentine's Day performance in
(02:45):
the famed Rainbow Room on the sixty fifth floor of
thirty Rocks singing Frank Sinatra songs from her just released
album Let's Be Frank. We recorded a podcast episode the
following day, and not long after I flew to Nashville
where I was a guest on Trisha's Southern Kitchen. That
(03:06):
was exciting, That was so much fun. I was nearly
seven years ago, and wow, do we have a lot
of ground to cover. When Tricia joins me today, fresh
on the heels of the acclaimed release of her songwriting
album The Mirror, We're getting still more new music from
Tricia Yearwood this year. Christmas Time arrived on November seventh,
(03:30):
just in time for our holiday listening, our holiday gifting,
our holiday sharing. This twelve song collection is her first
holiday album since releasing Christmas together with Garth back in
twenty sixteen, and it's her first solo holiday collection since
the nineteen ninety four The Sweetest Gift. It features sweeping
(03:56):
orchestral versions of holiday classics like Christmas Time Is Here
from a Charlie Brown Christmas, a soulful new take on
Elvis Presley's Blue Christmas, and a reimagining of Pure Imagination
from Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. Mary Christmas Valentine
(04:18):
is a heartfelt original, co written and performed with her
husband Garth. I can imagine it being requested often by
my radio listeners. She'll take her holiday show on the
road too with her Twelve Days of Christmas tour in December,
which will feature local symphonies accompanying her performances. Christmas Time
(04:40):
is here, and so is my friend Tricia Yearwood. We're
stirring up some Christmas Time magic today with the help
of my podcast sponsor. This podcast is brought to you
by my friends at Sherry's Hazel Cream. Have you had
to give up on some of your traditional holidays recipes

creamy soups, or the comfort of a hearty holiday casserole?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Hi, gorgeous. Hi, how are y'all?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'm wonderful, welcome, how are you? I'm good with me
on love someone today is a dear friend. Oh my gosh,
I've missed you. I love you. You look marvelous, darling.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Thank you, you look marvelous, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I wish my niche Shereisa was here. She was with
me when we got to come to your house and
be on your TV show, and she has always been
your biggest fan.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well please give her my love, biggest fan.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And I know she's going to want to hear your
new Christmas music and she is, you know, out there
on the East Coast, so she'll be able to come
to one of your twelve Days of Christmas shows.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Well, we hope this is the first of many Christmases
that we get to just because Christmas. I love Christmas
music and to get to go out, and you know
everybody loves to go to shows during the holidays, So
this is something that we hope we start a tradition
of Christmas shows that we'll do for years to come.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I think that a lot of people I know have
stopped buying stuff that just piles up. We don't need
any more stuff. Who needs more stuff? Please don't anybody
ever buy me stuff again, unless it's our supplies, in
which case we have permission. You always have permission. Paint
brushes are welcome, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
For me, it's books. Oh my gosh, books, I have
a problem.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
How many next to your bedside? Right now, three, how
many will you read?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'll read them all?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, yeah, I mean my goal is what I do
is I'll go through a phase of buying books, and
then I'll be like, Okay, you're not gonna buy another
book to you read the ones you bought, and then
I'll start something I don't I like to read one
at a time, but I'll get into a habit like
right now I'm in three and it's it's not the
best way to read because I like to really focus.
So I'll stop myself after this and be like, you
got to finish. So now I'm finishing one, and then
(08:33):
I'll finish the other two.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's like with clothes, I tell myself I'm not allowed
to go thrifting and find any cool, funky sweater and
bring it home until I take something out of the closet.
But I lie to myself, Trisha, I'm such a liar.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
We can justify any purchase. It's what we do. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And books, I promise myself I'm not buying anymore until
at least until I read this series, right or because
I love to thrift books, oh my.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
God, I love. I mean, at least we're we're doing
something good with our with our money. We're buying books.
Those books are.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Good in the house we're living in now, which is
an old barn, a barn dominium we've converted. My headboard
is an old bookshelf that I have had in storage
for about thirty years. Came out from underneath the stairwell
of a mansion that was dismantled, and it's got all
(09:28):
these cool built in shelves. So my headboard can hold
like five hundred books.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's fantastic. What a great idea it is. Except it's full.
It is full, and.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I've got so many books to read. So are you gonna?
Are you going to share a new one with us?
A new cookbook anytime?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know what I love about your cookbooks.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
They're not just recipes. It's not like you know the
old church cookbooks where you just see a recipe submitted
by Ray. It's got like stories and the backstory and
the back back story. I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, it's right now. There will be another book right now,
it's in my head. I made two albums this year,
so I'm not going to do that again. That's a lot.
I made a regular album and a Christmas album this year.
So the cookbook, I'll start it after the first of
the year, so and it takes about a year. So
we will have another book, but it'll be a while.
I've got some good stories, so I'm ready. I'm ready
to start it.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So life is good. Tell me about the Christmas album.
There's twelve cuts on it, right.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah. I went to California.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I made an album six or seven years ago called
Let's Be Frank, and it was a It was a
collection of Sinatra covers with like a fifty piece orchestra.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You forget.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I saw you the debut in your Silver Dress, and.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
That was the first time you and I met in
person in person, and I had so much fun doing
that record that I thought, if I'm going to do
a Christmas record, And I made a Christmas record like
nineteen ninety four, and then Garth and I did a
Christmas duet record about ten years ago. But I hadn't
really made my own record, you know, in a long time.
So I had a kind of list of my favorite
(11:11):
songs I wanted to do, and I decided to go
out to California and record the same way I did
the Sinatra record. So Dona was, who's a you know,
famous guy. He produced it again. He did the Sinatra record.
And a friend of mine named David Campbell, who has
orchestrated so many songs you've heard in your life.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
He's amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
He's been around for a long time, wrote all the
arrangements and we cut the whole record in four days
live with a forty something piece orchestra.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
How fun.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, So it's and I'm really happy with it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It was.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
There's songs on here that you will know from that
have been recorded a bunch, but these arrangements, like we
did Blue Christmas, which is one of my favorite songs,
but there's you've never heard an arrangement like this. So
I'm excited for people to hear things they might not know,
but also hear some things they think they know that
they've just never heard.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
This way fun and then you're going to take this
whole thing on the road and share it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, we're doing the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
So I'm going to twelve cities, mostly East Coast, and
we'll we'll you know, you go into a city and
they most cities have their own symphony orchestra, a lot
of a lot of these musicians are kind of they
have real jobs and they just come in and play
on these dates. And so we'll get a chance to
play this music live with a symphony in twelve cities
and two of eleven cities two nights in Nashville. And
(12:32):
I've worked with a lot of these these girls and
guys before, so it's just gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm excited about it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
When you get to sing in front of an orchestra
like that, it's really special and it's not something we
get to do that often. So I'm really looking forward
to it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So when you think of the Quintus Christmas experience, like
I was saying earlier, we don't need more stuff. All
my friends are like, I don't want stuff. Let's gift experiences,
Let's share experiences. I can't think of a more quintessential
(13:18):
sweet way to celebrate than to go hear you and
that rich, rich voice singing beautiful Christmas songs with a
symphony orchestra.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Well, you know, it feels like we always tend to
be a little more kind, a little more you know,
patient and tolerant during the holidays, and everybody's just a
little bit nicer to each other, which I wish we
could carry all the time. But for me, Christmas has
always been about family and about those special times. And
(13:55):
so you know, I'm not one of those people that
think you have to wait till after that everyth Thanksgiving
to decorate your house. I want to be Christmas as
soon as possible. And the music really gets you into
the spirit. And I just noticed people when they come
to these shows, they they're smiling at each other and
they just seem to be It puts everybody in that mood.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
In Nashville has a opry Land, you know, and they
decorate oppery Land, and to go out there during the
holidays again an experience of going and walking through and
seeing thousands of Point settas and Christmas trees and Christmas
music and you just get in the spirit. So I
think it's a I think it's a good and we
all want to feel that good feeling, you know, So
(14:36):
I'm excited to get to be a part of it
this year.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I always love going to the Big Apple at Christmas
time that I don't know. Twelve fifteen years ago, I
had an opportunity to go to Nashville during the holidays,
and I took my husband's daughters. There was like nine
some of my kids and then four of his daughters.
We went and oh my god, gosh, I had no idea.
(15:03):
Nashville knows how to do Christmas. Yeah, I've never seen
so much silver and gold. It was spectacular.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, and we're you know, I'm that person, Like I
want lights on the house. I want My mom was
very kind of conservative and subtle in that way, so
she would always she would wrap our front door in
Christmas paper and put a bow on it, and then
she'd light it very subtly. That was our Christmas deckor
that was that was all you if you drove by
my house, that's what you saw.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But I want to be the griz walls, like I
want the house white.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want in New York the huge.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Christmas balls they put on the I can't remember the
name of the building that they're in, but they're massive,
They're like four feet tall. I want them so I
have something like that in my yard, like I'm crazy
about I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It gets crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Have you been watching the do it Yourself like How
to Make How to Take Like a. I saw this
on a video last night. You take a big planner
pot and you turned upside down and you spray paint
it red. And then you take a pool noodle and
glue it on as a handle and spray paint that,
and you can make your own big mug of hot cocoa.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
See now, I watch all those videos. I don't do
any of them, but I watch them all. I'm like,
that's so cool. I'm not going to do that, but
that's a cool idea.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh well, I I gotta do it. I have to.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
You've got all the glue, You've got all the you've
got the glue gun. You've got to do it. Girl.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know how many glue guns I have, Tricia, I
have more glue guns than you have spatulas.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We probably have a Tide in the book department, but
art supplies, I am. I'm sick.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
That's awesome. Yeah, I'm not really crafty. I love to
watch it all.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
But I remember years ago seeing that you could buy
like a make your own Teddy Bear kit from Martha Stewart,
and it was like, I love Martha Stewart. You sound
very much like that, Like she's so crafty and like,
we'll just make everything. And I'm like, I want to
be that girl, but I Am not that girl. I'm
just gonna buy the teddy maare I'm not going to
make it myself.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Here's the difference between Martha and I. Martha does everything right,
you know. Like my mom taught me how to sew
when I was a little girl, like ten years old.
I knew how to sew, and my mom would like,
show me how to do plaids and the stripes are
supposed to match up mine never did, you know, never ever?
(17:33):
And I would say, Mom, it doesn't matter, nobody's going
to see that. It's under my armpit. And she's like,
I'm going to see it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Rip it out, let's do it right.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And I'm like, no, no, And I would just think
that if I iron it enough, you know, you won't notice
that there's a two inch gap there.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
My mother, my mother was that way too.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
She she made a lot of our clothes and she
made her own wedding dress, you know, and her sewing
was immaculate. And she tried to teach me, and I
sis sure, my sister. It took with I not so much.
I was like you and I'm just not patient, you know.
So I think I made one or two things and
then I gave it up. I can sew a button
on if you got a problem there, but that's about it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I just didn't get the gene.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
She one time, because my mom made wedding cakes on
the side when we were in school to help supplement income,
when she stayed home with us and before we went
to school, and she made beautiful wedding cakes, like like
stunning cakes with no before Fondon was a thing you
did all of it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
She did with decorator icing.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And I remember her making a cake for a wedding
in our hometown and it was our friends of ours.
So she made the cake. She made all the cheese
straws and the sausage balls and all the things, and
then she that morning she's like, I don't even even
to wear She made a dress that morning, of course
she did. It was like a double knit bell sleeve.
I remember it vividly, and it was stunning, and she
(18:52):
wore it. We walked out of the door with the
cake and went to the church. It was like the
crazy She was a superhero. I admire that, but I
did not inher It.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That was my Mommy just described Wilmadine, only my mom
had a cigarette in her hand and a cup of coffee,
cup of black coffee and a palm mall cigarette burning.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Mom had the coffee, not.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
The she She did it all. She did the cakes,
she did the flowers, she did the bouquets, she did
the food. She would make the bridesmaid's dresses. My best
friend Tosh, she did her bridesmaid's dresses. DDI, she did
her bridesmaid's dresses. She did it all. And then Yeah,
(19:31):
she would be sewing her buttons on her own shirt
as she walked into the church.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. We came from strong women.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah we did. Today we're hearing all about Tricia's recipe
for her Christmas Time album More Delicious Conversation after I
share a heaping helping of love for my podcast sponsor.
I'm so glad to get to share all that Mercy
Ships is doing in the world with you.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
You.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
They travel to medical deserts, providing free, life changing surgeries
to people in need. Led by an all volunteer crew.
They've been putting their faith into action for almost fifty years.
Mercyships is all about impact. They performed nearly one hundred
and twenty thousand free surgeries to date and touched more
(20:25):
than two million lives. But more than the numbers, it's
about dreams restored and lives renewed. It's about loving someone.

(20:46):
mother seeing her child for the first time, a child

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Just be a kid.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Visit mercyships dot org to give or learn about the
other ways you can get involved. That's mercyships dot org.
Last time I saw you was very special because it
was Valentine's and you had your new album Let's Be
frank Out. And my husband Paul and I have the
(21:17):
same birthday, which is the day after Valentine, so we
got to celebrate that with you. And now you've got
Merry Christmas Valentine this original song tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well, you know, I spent most of this past year
writing and this is a whole other conversation to have
some time, but I really hadn't been writing a lot
and something just kind of clicked, and so I was
just writing and writing and writing, and Garth has always
encouraged me to write, and I've always been the one
who's like, I'm not really great at it, and he's
always encouraged me. And we were sitting outside one night
(21:51):
in the midst of all this, and I said, you
want to write with me now, because I'm more fun now.
I've gotten out of my own way and I'm really
in it and I'm really enjoying myself.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And he said, I have this idea for putting.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Christmas and Valentine's Day together, these beautiful holidays about love together,
and so we started writing this song called Merry Christmas
Valentine and it just sort of, as it kind of
wrote itself, felt like when you hear it, you may
think it's from another time. It has that vibe. We
wrote an original song for the Let'sbie Frank album that
(22:22):
was kind of like that. It it felt like it
could have been written in the thirties or the forties.
This has kind of got that old school romantic basically
talking about this love is so big. One holiday is
not enough to contain it. So's it's really beautiful. It's
a and he sings on it, which is great so
I didn't give him a choice on that. I'm like, look,
you're a co writer, you're my husband, you're singing on it,
(22:43):
and he was kind enough to come in and sing
a harmony with me.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
So I'm excited for people to hear it.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Fun. I can't wait to hear it. What's the name
of your Christmas tour?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
It's called The Twelve Days of Christmas, and the Christmas
Time is the name of the album. It's from that
song Christmas Time is Here from Charlie Brown Christmas, which
I walked down the aisle to Marry Garths to that song,
and I've loved Charlie Brown. Christmas is one of my
favorite Christmas shows ever. The music is so amazing and
I've always wanted to record that song, and so that's
(23:15):
kind of our it's kind of what we're starting with.
We just did a video for that, that's that we're
going to release, and just getting to sing that song.
I mean a lot of people don't even know it
has lyrics because I think in the Charlie Brown Christmas
it's a lot of oos and you don't really pay
attention to the lyrics. But it's a beautiful song about
about what we were just talking about about how if we
(23:35):
could only hold this feeling all year. I mean, it's
a really beautiful lyric.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I didn't know that that was the song you walked into.
That is so special.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, because we got married in December, so we it
was a kind of a Christmas wedding, so that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Was the song. How sweet?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
And where can folks find your tour schedule and all
the information?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
It's on every you know Trisha year with social media
platform that exists, which are all of them, And we
also have a website, so you can go on trishare
dot com and it'll tell you all the places that
we're gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I wish you were going to be out here, but
I'm not going to drag all the little munchkins in
my house out this year.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I just know.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Have you heard about that we do.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Not care Club Melanie? And then we do not care Club?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, I love Melanie and that we do not care Club?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I mean, I don't know a woman who doesn't relate and.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Know who she is and follow her and my sister
and I talk about her all the time. It's almost like,
oh my gosh, what she said today was so spot
it's always so.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Spot on, so spot on, so spot on. We do
not care to pack up five children and get on
an airplane ever again, as long as we're alive now.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
And that's also the beauty of getting wisdom as we
get a little bit older, to be like, here's the
thing that I'm okay with, and here's the things I'm
just not going to do anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, there's a lot on that list. That list gets
longer every day. I just did an appearance last weekend
and Tucson and I took two pair of shoes and
I left one in the closet. I said, I'm never
I'm never ever going to put my feet in something
that uncomfortable again. So I'm just going to leave them
here in the closet, and if the housekeepers want them,
(25:23):
they can keep them because they had never been worn.
We're not going to do that again.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh, we're not going to do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Nope, nope. Thank you for being with us, Thank you
for spending time with us. God, I miss you.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I wish I could just give you. It's so wonderful.
I miss you too.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I'm glad to hear everything's good, even though it sounds
like you're busier than ever. But maybe next Christmas we'll
figure out how to get to the West coast and
you can bring whoever, how very many kids you have
at that point, you can bring.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yes, I would love to see you. Give my love
to Garth and just Bel. I love you well. I
love you too. Thank you that I enjoyed myself.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's good to see you. Good to see you.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, bye bye.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
M
Hello, my friend, greetings. I love this time of year.
I love being in the kitchen this time of year.
I came out of the kitchen to do this podcast
with you. The barn that we live in, we live
in a barn Dominium now is on the second floor
(00:24):
of an old barn, and my studio is right off
the kitchen. I open my studio door, I'm in the
dining room. Kitchen heart of my home. The kitchen is
the heart of the home, and nothing could be more
true in any home that I've lived in. It's where
all the good stuff happened, the wonderful smells, the best conversations,
(00:49):
the nourishment of body and soul. And it's especially true
in the autumn and winter, when we're spending so much
more time indoors. As you're mixing up another batch of
pumpkin bread, stirring up a pot of butternut bisk tossing
together a kale, pear and pecan salad, I'm sure you
(01:11):
got a little music playing in the background. Maybe it's
something from the Lovely Tricia Yearwood. Tricia's nineteen ninety one
debut singles She's in Love with the Boy, became a
number one hit on the Billboard Country Singles Chart, and
its corresponding debut album sold over two million copies. We
(01:34):
soon became accustomed to new hits from Tricia dropping with regularity.
But Tricia, who's sold over fifteen million records worldwide, earned
three Grammy Awards and is a three time Academy of
Country Music winner, as well as earning three Country Music
Association Awards. She has interest and talents that extend far
(02:00):
beyond her music, like writing and publishing three New York
Times bestselling cookbooks, creating the cooking show Tricia's Southern Kitchen
on the Food Network, which earned her a Daytime Emmy Award.
She's also branched into designing home goods and cookware her
(02:20):
Tricia Yearwood Home collection. She's even created a pet product line,
I've been in her home, I've been in her kitchen,
I've met her pats. There's seemingly no end to her
skills and her ambition, which is good news for us.
Last time we caught up with each other was in
twenty nineteen. Tricia gave a dazzling Valentine's Day performance in
(02:45):
the famed Rainbow Room on the sixty fifth floor of
thirty Rocks singing Frank Sinatra songs from her just released
album Let's Be Frank. We recorded a podcast episode the
following day, and not long after I flew to Nashville
where I was a guest on Trisha's Southern Kitchen. That
(03:06):
was exciting, That was so much fun. I was nearly
seven years ago, and wow, do we have a lot
of ground to cover. When Tricia joins me today, fresh
on the heels of the acclaimed release of her songwriting
album The Mirror, We're getting still more new music from
Tricia Yearwood this year. Christmas Time arrived on November seventh,
(03:30):
just in time for our holiday listening, our holiday gifting,
our holiday sharing. This twelve song collection is her first
holiday album since releasing Christmas together with Garth back in
twenty sixteen, and it's her first solo holiday collection since
the nineteen ninety four The Sweetest Gift. It features sweeping
(03:56):
orchestral versions of holiday classics like Christmas Time Is Here
from a Charlie Brown Christmas, a soulful new take on
Elvis Presley's Blue Christmas, and a reimagining of Pure Imagination
from Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. Mary Christmas Valentine
(04:18):
is a heartfelt original, co written and performed with her
husband Garth. I can imagine it being requested often by
my radio listeners. She'll take her holiday show on the
road too with her Twelve Days of Christmas tour in December,
which will feature local symphonies accompanying her performances. Christmas Time
(04:40):
is here, and so is my friend Tricia Yearwood. We're
stirring up some Christmas Time magic today with the help
of my podcast sponsor. This podcast is brought to you
by my friends at Sherry's Hazel Cream. Have you had

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Hi, gorgeous. Hi, how are y'all?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'm wonderful, welcome, how are you? I'm good with me
on love someone today is a dear friend. Oh my gosh,
I've missed you. I love you. You look marvelous, darling.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Thank you, you look marvelous, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I wish my niche Shereisa was here. She was with
me when we got to come to your house and
be on your TV show, and she has always been
your biggest fan.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well please give her my love, biggest fan.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And I know she's going to want to hear your
new Christmas music and she is, you know, out there
on the East Coast, so she'll be able to come
to one of your twelve Days of Christmas shows.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Well, we hope this is the first of many Christmases
that we get to just because Christmas. I love Christmas
music and to get to go out, and you know
everybody loves to go to shows during the holidays, So
this is something that we hope we start a tradition
of Christmas shows that we'll do for years to come.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I think that a lot of people I know have
stopped buying stuff that just piles up. We don't need
any more stuff. Who needs more stuff? Please don't anybody
ever buy me stuff again, unless it's our supplies, in
which case we have permission. You always have permission. Paint
brushes are welcome, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
For me, it's books. Oh my gosh, books, I have
a problem.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
How many next to your bedside? Right now, three, how
many will you read?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'll read them all?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, yeah, I mean my goal is what I do
is I'll go through a phase of buying books, and
then I'll be like, Okay, you're not gonna buy another
book to you read the ones you bought, and then
I'll start something I don't I like to read one
at a time, but I'll get into a habit like
right now I'm in three and it's it's not the
best way to read because I like to really focus.
So I'll stop myself after this and be like, you
got to finish. So now I'm finishing one, and then
(08:33):
I'll finish the other two.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's like with clothes, I tell myself I'm not allowed
to go thrifting and find any cool, funky sweater and
bring it home until I take something out of the closet.
But I lie to myself, Trisha, I'm such a liar.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
We can justify any purchase. It's what we do. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And books, I promise myself I'm not buying anymore until
at least until I read this series, right or because
I love to thrift books, oh my.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
God, I love. I mean, at least we're we're doing
something good with our with our money. We're buying books.
Those books are.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Good in the house we're living in now, which is
an old barn, a barn dominium we've converted. My headboard
is an old bookshelf that I have had in storage
for about thirty years. Came out from underneath the stairwell
of a mansion that was dismantled, and it's got all
(09:28):
these cool built in shelves. So my headboard can hold
like five hundred books.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's fantastic. What a great idea it is. Except it's full.
It is full, and.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I've got so many books to read. So are you gonna?
Are you going to share a new one with us?
A new cookbook anytime?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know what I love about your cookbooks.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
They're not just recipes. It's not like you know the
old church cookbooks where you just see a recipe submitted
by Ray. It's got like stories and the backstory and
the back back story. I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, it's right now. There will be another book right now,
it's in my head. I made two albums this year,
so I'm not going to do that again. That's a lot.
I made a regular album and a Christmas album this year.
So the cookbook, I'll start it after the first of
the year, so and it takes about a year. So
we will have another book, but it'll be a while.
I've got some good stories, so I'm ready. I'm ready
to start it.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So life is good. Tell me about the Christmas album.
There's twelve cuts on it, right.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah. I went to California.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I made an album six or seven years ago called
Let's Be Frank, and it was a It was a
collection of Sinatra covers with like a fifty piece orchestra.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You forget.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I saw you the debut in your Silver Dress, and.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
That was the first time you and I met in
person in person, and I had so much fun doing
that record that I thought, if I'm going to do
a Christmas record, And I made a Christmas record like
nineteen ninety four, and then Garth and I did a
Christmas duet record about ten years ago. But I hadn't
really made my own record, you know, in a long time.
So I had a kind of list of my favorite
(11:11):
songs I wanted to do, and I decided to go
out to California and record the same way I did
the Sinatra record. So Dona was, who's a you know,
famous guy. He produced it again. He did the Sinatra record.
And a friend of mine named David Campbell, who has
orchestrated so many songs you've heard in your life.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
He's amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
He's been around for a long time, wrote all the
arrangements and we cut the whole record in four days
live with a forty something piece orchestra.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
How fun.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, So it's and I'm really happy with it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It was.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
There's songs on here that you will know from that
have been recorded a bunch, but these arrangements, like we
did Blue Christmas, which is one of my favorite songs,
but there's you've never heard an arrangement like this. So
I'm excited for people to hear things they might not know,
but also hear some things they think they know that
they've just never heard.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
This way fun and then you're going to take this
whole thing on the road and share it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, we're doing the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
So I'm going to twelve cities, mostly East Coast, and
we'll we'll you know, you go into a city and
they most cities have their own symphony orchestra, a lot
of a lot of these musicians are kind of they
have real jobs and they just come in and play
on these dates. And so we'll get a chance to
play this music live with a symphony in twelve cities
and two of eleven cities two nights in Nashville. And
(12:32):
I've worked with a lot of these these girls and
guys before, so it's just gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm excited about it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
When you get to sing in front of an orchestra
like that, it's really special and it's not something we
get to do that often. So I'm really looking forward
to it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So when you think of the Quintus Christmas experience, like
I was saying earlier, we don't need more stuff. All
my friends are like, I don't want stuff. Let's gift experiences,
Let's share experiences. I can't think of a more quintessential
(13:18):
sweet way to celebrate than to go hear you and
that rich, rich voice singing beautiful Christmas songs with a
symphony orchestra.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Well, you know, it feels like we always tend to
be a little more kind, a little more you know,
patient and tolerant during the holidays, and everybody's just a
little bit nicer to each other, which I wish we
could carry all the time. But for me, Christmas has
always been about family and about those special times. And
(13:55):
so you know, I'm not one of those people that
think you have to wait till after that everyth Thanksgiving
to decorate your house. I want to be Christmas as
soon as possible. And the music really gets you into
the spirit. And I just noticed people when they come
to these shows, they they're smiling at each other and
they just seem to be It puts everybody in that mood.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
In Nashville has a opry Land, you know, and they
decorate oppery Land, and to go out there during the
holidays again an experience of going and walking through and
seeing thousands of Point settas and Christmas trees and Christmas
music and you just get in the spirit. So I
think it's a I think it's a good and we
all want to feel that good feeling, you know, So
(14:36):
I'm excited to get to be a part of it
this year.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I always love going to the Big Apple at Christmas
time that I don't know. Twelve fifteen years ago, I
had an opportunity to go to Nashville during the holidays,
and I took my husband's daughters. There was like nine
some of my kids and then four of his daughters.
We went and oh my god, gosh, I had no idea.
(15:03):
Nashville knows how to do Christmas. Yeah, I've never seen
so much silver and gold. It was spectacular.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, and we're you know, I'm that person, Like I
want lights on the house. I want My mom was
very kind of conservative and subtle in that way, so
she would always she would wrap our front door in
Christmas paper and put a bow on it, and then
she'd light it very subtly. That was our Christmas deckor
that was that was all you if you drove by
my house, that's what you saw.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But I want to be the griz walls, like I
want the house white.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want in New York the huge.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Christmas balls they put on the I can't remember the
name of the building that they're in, but they're massive,
They're like four feet tall. I want them so I
have something like that in my yard, like I'm crazy
about I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It gets crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Have you been watching the do it Yourself like How
to Make How to Take Like a. I saw this
on a video last night. You take a big planner
pot and you turned upside down and you spray paint
it red. And then you take a pool noodle and
glue it on as a handle and spray paint that,
and you can make your own big mug of hot cocoa.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
See now, I watch all those videos. I don't do
any of them, but I watch them all. I'm like,
that's so cool. I'm not going to do that, but
that's a cool idea.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh well, I I gotta do it. I have to.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
You've got all the glue, You've got all the you've
got the glue gun. You've got to do it. Girl.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know how many glue guns I have, Tricia, I
have more glue guns than you have spatulas.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We probably have a Tide in the book department, but
art supplies, I am. I'm sick.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
That's awesome. Yeah, I'm not really crafty. I love to
watch it all.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
But I remember years ago seeing that you could buy
like a make your own Teddy Bear kit from Martha Stewart,
and it was like, I love Martha Stewart. You sound
very much like that, Like she's so crafty and like,
we'll just make everything. And I'm like, I want to
be that girl, but I Am not that girl. I'm
just gonna buy the teddy maare I'm not going to
make it myself.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Here's the difference between Martha and I. Martha does everything right,
you know. Like my mom taught me how to sew
when I was a little girl, like ten years old.
I knew how to sew, and my mom would like,
show me how to do plaids and the stripes are
supposed to match up mine never did, you know, never ever?
(17:33):
And I would say, Mom, it doesn't matter, nobody's going
to see that. It's under my armpit. And she's like,
I'm going to see it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Rip it out, let's do it right.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And I'm like, no, no, And I would just think
that if I iron it enough, you know, you won't notice
that there's a two inch gap there.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
My mother, my mother was that way too.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
She she made a lot of our clothes and she
made her own wedding dress, you know, and her sewing
was immaculate. And she tried to teach me, and I
sis sure, my sister. It took with I not so much.
I was like you and I'm just not patient, you know.
So I think I made one or two things and
then I gave it up. I can sew a button
on if you got a problem there, but that's about it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I just didn't get the gene.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
She one time, because my mom made wedding cakes on
the side when we were in school to help supplement income,
when she stayed home with us and before we went
to school, and she made beautiful wedding cakes, like like
stunning cakes with no before Fondon was a thing you
did all of it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
She did with decorator icing.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And I remember her making a cake for a wedding
in our hometown and it was our friends of ours.
So she made the cake. She made all the cheese
straws and the sausage balls and all the things, and
then she that morning she's like, I don't even even
to wear She made a dress that morning, of course
she did. It was like a double knit bell sleeve.
I remember it vividly, and it was stunning, and she
(18:52):
wore it. We walked out of the door with the
cake and went to the church. It was like the
crazy She was a superhero. I admire that, but I
did not inher It.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That was my Mommy just described Wilmadine, only my mom
had a cigarette in her hand and a cup of coffee,
cup of black coffee and a palm mall cigarette burning.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Mom had the coffee, not.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
The she She did it all. She did the cakes,
she did the flowers, she did the bouquets, she did
the food. She would make the bridesmaid's dresses. My best
friend Tosh, she did her bridesmaid's dresses. DDI, she did
her bridesmaid's dresses. She did it all. And then Yeah,
(19:31):
she would be sewing her buttons on her own shirt
as she walked into the church.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. We came from strong women.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah we did. Today we're hearing all about Tricia's recipe
for her Christmas Time album More Delicious Conversation after I
share a heaping helping of love for my podcast sponsor.
I'm so glad to get to share all that Mercy
Ships is doing in the world with you.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
You.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
They travel to medical deserts, providing free, life changing surgeries
to people in need. Led by an all volunteer crew.
They've been putting their faith into action for almost fifty years.
Mercyships is all about impact. They performed nearly one hundred
and twenty thousand free surgeries to date and touched more
(20:25):
than two million lives. But more than the numbers, it's
about dreams restored and lives renewed. It's about loving someone.
You can be a part of this amazing organization. When
you support Mercyships, you experience the joy and transformation a
(20:46):
mother seeing her child for the first time, a child
finally able to run and play and dream and.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Just be a kid.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Visit mercyships dot org to give or learn about the
other ways you can get involved. That's mercyships dot org.
Last time I saw you was very special because it
was Valentine's and you had your new album Let's Be
frank Out. And my husband Paul and I have the
(21:17):
same birthday, which is the day after Valentine, so we
got to celebrate that with you. And now you've got
Merry Christmas Valentine this original song tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well, you know, I spent most of this past year
writing and this is a whole other conversation to have
some time, but I really hadn't been writing a lot
and something just kind of clicked, and so I was
just writing and writing and writing, and Garth has always
encouraged me to write, and I've always been the one
who's like, I'm not really great at it, and he's
always encouraged me. And we were sitting outside one night
(21:51):
in the midst of all this, and I said, you
want to write with me now, because I'm more fun now.
I've gotten out of my own way and I'm really
in it and I'm really enjoying myself.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And he said, I have this idea for putting.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Christmas and Valentine's Day together, these beautiful holidays about love together,
and so we started writing this song called Merry Christmas
Valentine and it just sort of, as it kind of
wrote itself, felt like when you hear it, you may
think it's from another time. It has that vibe. We
wrote an original song for the Let'sbie Frank album that
(22:22):
was kind of like that. It it felt like it
could have been written in the thirties or the forties.
This has kind of got that old school romantic basically
talking about this love is so big. One holiday is
not enough to contain it. So's it's really beautiful. It's
a and he sings on it, which is great so
I didn't give him a choice on that. I'm like, look,
you're a co writer, you're my husband, you're singing on it,
(22:43):
and he was kind enough to come in and sing
a harmony with me.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
So I'm excited for people to hear it.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Fun. I can't wait to hear it. What's the name
of your Christmas tour?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
It's called The Twelve Days of Christmas, and the Christmas
Time is the name of the album. It's from that
song Christmas Time is Here from Charlie Brown Christmas, which
I walked down the aisle to Marry Garths to that song,
and I've loved Charlie Brown. Christmas is one of my
favorite Christmas shows ever. The music is so amazing and
I've always wanted to record that song, and so that's
(23:15):
kind of our it's kind of what we're starting with.
We just did a video for that, that's that we're
going to release, and just getting to sing that song.
I mean a lot of people don't even know it
has lyrics because I think in the Charlie Brown Christmas
it's a lot of oos and you don't really pay
attention to the lyrics. But it's a beautiful song about
about what we were just talking about about how if we
(23:35):
could only hold this feeling all year. I mean, it's
a really beautiful lyric.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I didn't know that that was the song you walked into.
That is so special.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, because we got married in December, so we it
was a kind of a Christmas wedding, so that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Was the song. How sweet?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
And where can folks find your tour schedule and all
the information?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
It's on every you know Trisha year with social media
platform that exists, which are all of them, And we
also have a website, so you can go on trishare
dot com and it'll tell you all the places that
we're gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I wish you were going to be out here, but
I'm not going to drag all the little munchkins in
my house out this year.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I just know.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Have you heard about that we do.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Not care Club Melanie? And then we do not care Club?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, I love Melanie and that we do not care Club?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I mean, I don't know a woman who doesn't relate and.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Know who she is and follow her and my sister
and I talk about her all the time. It's almost like,
oh my gosh, what she said today was so spot
it's always so.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Spot on, so spot on, so spot on. We do
not care to pack up five children and get on
an airplane ever again, as long as we're alive now.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
And that's also the beauty of getting wisdom as we
get a little bit older, to be like, here's the
thing that I'm okay with, and here's the things I'm
just not going to do anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, there's a lot on that list. That list gets
longer every day. I just did an appearance last weekend
and Tucson and I took two pair of shoes and
I left one in the closet. I said, I'm never
I'm never ever going to put my feet in something
that uncomfortable again. So I'm just going to leave them
here in the closet, and if the housekeepers want them,
(25:23):
they can keep them because they had never been worn.
We're not going to do that again.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh, we're not going to do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Nope, nope. Thank you for being with us, Thank you
for spending time with us. God, I miss you.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I wish I could just give you. It's so wonderful.
I miss you too.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I'm glad to hear everything's good, even though it sounds
like you're busier than ever. But maybe next Christmas we'll
figure out how to get to the West coast and
you can bring whoever, how very many kids you have
at that point, you can bring.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yes, I would love to see you. Give my love
to Garth and just Bel. I love you well. I
love you too. Thank you that I enjoyed myself.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
