Speaker 1 (00:14):
Welcome my friend. Welcome back to another edition of Love
Someone with Delilah. I'm having so much fun this year
doing these podcasts because I love to talk and I
love to listen, and when I'm on the radio, I
only get to to talk to somebody for two or
three minutes, because you know, when I'm on the radio,
(00:35):
I'm supposed to be playing a lot of music, relaxing favorites,
longer song sets, that sort of thing, so you can
relax and unwind at night. And I love playing the music,
but I really love having conversations with people that thrilled me,
people that inspire me, people that make me want to
be a better version of myself. I love people that
(01:01):
are real, that are honest, that are are using their
gifts and talents and skills to make the world a
better place. And the woman that I'm about to talk
to that we are going to have a conversation with here,
I love Someone with the Lina says all those things.
(01:21):
She's as real as our heart attack. She must she
could be like my secret sister, separated at birth. She
looks we look enough alike to be sisters, and she
is bold. She's abroad, she's funny, she loves food as
much as I do. In fact, you probably know her
from her food show, Tricia Yearwood's Southern Home Cooking Wonderful
(01:48):
NUS that I got to be on with her um
and she is our guest today on our podcast. I
met her when she was performing. She has an you
album out called Let's Be Frank and it's all Frank
Sinatra tunes that she has covered that are beautiful. But
she is just a hot ticket. She is sassy, she
(02:10):
is funny, she is kind, she is beautiful, and we
are going to get to know her a little bit
more today. I Love someone with Delilah. First, though, I
want to talk about our sponsor, because without our sponsors,
we wouldn't have a podcast. So we're gonna talk about
our sponsor here for a second, and then we are
going to talk with Tricia Yearwood. This year, we have
(02:31):
been working very hard on our podcast series. I love
being on the radio with you. I have loved being
on the radio with you for years. But I have
a lot to say and I want to get to
know people on a deeper, more intimate level. I want
I want to get to know people in a very
real way. However, much time I have left on this planet,
(02:54):
I want to use it. We're good. I've always wanted
to do that, but since losing my son Zach so
much more so now I want to use my gifts
and my talents and my skills for good to encourage
you to be the best you that you can possibly be,
(03:15):
to encourage you to live deeply, to love completely. And
that has been my motivation this year with my podcast
series loves Someone with Delilah, and today we're going to
get to know a beautiful woman a little bit better,
a little bit deeper. We're going to uh talk with
(03:39):
and listen to the versatile, the talented Tricia Yearwood right here.
I have to tell you that when anyone hears your voice,
you have to know the one of thost famous voices
in the world, and everybody it's so it's just so
it's like you just take a deep breath and go,
oh it's Delilah. I can just listen to you talk forever,
and they're stories you tell and the way you make
(04:02):
everybody feel, they're not maybe people that can do that. So,
I mean, I'm just honored to be here sitting with you. Seriously,
thank you, and I am so honored because I have
played your music and followed your career since you were
really young. Yeah, not any one was my first year,
I was twenty six years old. I hear I hear
(04:22):
those first records and I like them, but I just
feel like I sound like a child. When I go
back and listen, I'm like, oh, you're such a little girl. Yeah.
I I was a child when I started in radio.
I was fourteen, And I remember the first time I
had to say Martina Navratolova. I was reading the copy
mark Martina nat uh stumbling all over the place. But
(04:47):
I have loved watching your career and all the different
things that you have touched that are just so wonderful
and so real. Thank you. I have fun. I mean,
I enjoy what I do, and I'm I'm at an
age and mile I'm fifty four years old. I'm at
a place where I'm like, I don't really want to
do anything that I don't enjoy. Yeah, and I feel
(05:09):
very lucky and I and I never wanted to do
stuff I didn't want to do, but I had to,
you know. So it's it's nice to be in a
place where you get to pick the things that bring
you joy? And so what was what was some of
the things that you did that you really didn't want
to do, but you did and you did well, but
now you're so glad you don't have to do anymore. Well,
mostly it was just real jobs, you know. I just
(05:30):
didn't want to work for a living. What's some of
the real jobs you've I've only had two real jobs,
So what's some of the real jobs you've had. I was.
I worked for an Aggris sales company, selling like feeding
troughs um for for uh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
(05:50):
I was. I grew up on a farm, so I
mean I knew what I was talking about. But still, um,
I mean that was mainly like bulk mailing and filing.
I wasn't I didn't you know. I wasn't a salesperson
to the No, I would have loved that. That would
have been fun. Um. I was a tour guide at
the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, so if
you came through, I could lead you through. And that
was that was not about I liked that job because
I I would spend most of my time in the
(06:12):
and they had movies that had an Elvis movie and
a Patsy Klan movie for like two or three minutes.
And I was not a great tour god, because you
were watching the Patsy Client you were singing along. Yeah,
when there's only three or four people guests and the
tour you were singing better than probably than Patsy. No,
I was. I was a receptionist at a record label.
(06:34):
So that was um kind of torturous because no one
knew my saying I wanted to keep my job, and
I watched people coming in every day doing what I
wanted to do. And I was really a shy person
and not bold about myself. So I think that was
a great job for me because it's it was what
lit the fire into me to to say, if you
don't let people know this is what you want to do,
then you're gonna get to answer the phones in order
(06:55):
liquid paper for the rest of your life, you know.
So it was the job that that changed everything for me. Honestly,
talking today with Tricia Yearwood and her life and her
love and her hobby Garth Brooks and her music and
her TV show, and we are going to continue this
conversation with Tricia you would in just a moment, But
(07:16):
first though, I want to talk to you about our
sponsors that make this podcast a possibility. You want to smile,
put yourself smack dab in the center of the garden
department at the Home Depot. This time of year, there
are so many beautiful flowers to take home and plant
in your flower beds and your gardens. You can always
(07:39):
find room for a flat full of fresh flowers. Every
flower bed does better when you use the right products
from earth Grow, Vigoro and Scott's. The very helpful people
working in the garden department will guide you on what's
best the Home Depot, more saving, more doing. I've been
(07:59):
talking today with Tricia Yearwood. Oh my gosh, I fell
in love with this lady. Uh she's just a hot ticket.
She's fun and she's funny, beautiful, talented, so talented and
not afraid to be true to herself. We got to
talk about last night because I told my sister in
my group that last night was such a huge blessing
(08:22):
to my heart that I would not have been surprised
if an angel appeared on stage after you, because from
beginning to end, the whole night was like this blessed
gift to my heart. Thank you, for saying that, you know,
I I was so this has been such a build
up for me because I wanted to do this record
for twenty years. I've wanted to sing these songs forever.
(08:45):
Let me just interject your your new record. Let's be
Frank Frank Sinatra, some of his big hits, some of
his lesser known songs he recorded, but so beautiful. Everything
just was right. You know. It's really funny. I have
rituals before I go on stage. I do a little
power with my band, and I did one with the
(09:06):
three guys that played the atricious songs at the front
of the show, that the bass player and the guitar
playing piano player. We always do like a little power
and a little like break on three or whatever and um,
and then we go out. And that's what I do.
I don't really have. I mean, I don't do I
don't vocal warm ups, I don't have like you know,
I don't do anything special. But last night, after the
(09:26):
power and they went out, I was just I just
need to take a breath, and I actually said a prayer,
which I never I never. I mean, I pray, but
I don't pray before I go on stage. I feel
like God's got other things to worry about, whether than
whether or not I hit the notes. You are a
force to be reckoned with. Not in a bad way,
not in a pushy way. But when you set your
mind to do something, you do it. I love that.
(09:49):
I don't know. I don't know if it's you know.
I guess I'm stubborn, I'm competitive, and I am not
I'm not confident in every in my life. But the
things that I'm confident in, the things that I know
I can do, I just I believe. And I was
raised by parents who were very nurturing in that way
(10:10):
and made us believe. My sister and I both that
we could do anything we wanted. They just and it
wasn't about we want you to do this. It was
about we want you to be happy, and we want
you to be in charge of your life. And that
was That was a great message, a great gift they
gave us. Well, you've certainly done it well. And you
said on stage last night that this album you've wanted
to do for twenty years. These are the songs that
(10:32):
you've wanted to do for twenty years. And I loved
you telling the story of how you chose the ones
that are are on the album, and I wanted to
share that with our listeners because that was a huge process.
I mean, you have hundreds of songs to choose from,
and you said you had eighty six more that you
wanted to record, which tells me there's gonna be you know,
(10:55):
we we got enough material here for a couple of
more of these. But UM, tell the story of how
you chose the ones that are on the album, and
then we're going to talk about the one that you
wrote with your husband, and and I'm going to talk
about what that means to me. So go ahead. Well,
I did have a list of literally, I think it
was ninety nine songs, um, and it's still on my
(11:16):
laptop because it's still there. I still want to record
the rest of them. Um. And I really was having
a tough time, and Don was who produced the record. UM,
he kept saying, well, which one do you think we're
gonna do? And I kept going, I don't know, I'll
get it. I'll get to a list and then I
just know what and he finds said, look, we have
to you know, we have to do this. We have
to you gotta figure this out. Right right, and you
have to yeah, and you have to decide Tritia, because
(11:38):
this is your album, it's not mine. I'm You're not
gonna see my favorite Frank songs, you know. So, um,
we were having a meeting and he sat me down
with a pin and paper and said, right now, off
the top of your head, what twelve would you cut?
And UM, I wrote down twelve songs and eleven of
them made the record, and um, and so I guess
it was good because I just wasn't allowed to think
(11:59):
about it. Now I've and go back right now and
give you another list of twelve that I would do tomorrow.
You know. So I think that, Um, I do hope
I get to do more of this because I've had
a lot of fun in my career. I've had a
lot of fun in the studio. That's where that's my
happy places, in the studio, creating, making a song mine.
But I don't know if I've ever had more fun
than this. It was just it was just incredible. Not
(12:20):
to not to harp on how special last night was,
but we were in the Rainbow Room, which I could
almost feel the presence of Frank and his gang, you know,
the rat pack. That's where they debuted so many of
their songs, and that was their happy place, you know.
(12:43):
And I've seen so many fabulous pictures of them in
the Rainbow room. And then you walked out on stage,
the orchestra came out, uh, and then you walked out
in that beautiful gown, looking like a vision. And every
song they just got I thought, how is she going
to top that? How are you going to top that one?
You just nailed it? How is she going to top
(13:04):
that one? And each one was just so lush and
so and brought back for me because those are the
songs my mom used to listen to. She had a
little record player, and those are the songs my grandparents
used to play. And each one brought back so many
memories and and they were just all just touching my heart.
It was the same for me that my mother loved
(13:25):
this music, you know, So for me, Um, I think
I mentioned last night. She was born in thirty seven,
and so we watched a lot of old movies and
musicals and played these songs. My mom and dad, Um
were madly in love. Theyre may for forty five years,
and they would, you know, music would come on the
radio there was a there was a kitchen radio and
that was always playing, and something would come up that
(13:47):
reminded them. They met at a square dance, so they
were dancers, and they weren't square dancing at this point,
but they would dance at the kitchen together, you know.
And I'm a kid watching my parents and you're kind
of like oh, and then you're like, oh, it's so sweet.
And they were always that way together. So that means
that it brings back so many memories for me as well.
And I gotta tell you a funny story about the dress.
I was very stressed out about. You know, I'm gonna
(14:08):
remember all these lyrics, and I'm in the rainbow room.
I've been waiting and now I'm freaked out, and um,
and I don't really freak out, I'm pretty zin, but
I was nervous last night. And I had tried on
the dress, this silver dress that looked like a throwback
holly old Hollywood dress. It looks so like like I
could have pictured Frank Sinatra with a lady on his
arm wearing that dress. Yeah, that's how it felt. And
(14:29):
then I was like, oh, well, I don't know, maybe
I should wear And I had a pant suit option
and I have this. It was beautiful and I had
it on and I'm like, it's the rainbow room. And
I'm thinking about what a woman would wear to the
rainbow room in nineteen fifty five or sixty and I'm like,
it's the dress. It's gotta be the dress. And the
dress made you feel like a diva. You're like, Okay,
I'm gonna go out there. And you know, when you're
(14:50):
wearing the outfit, you know how it is. If you
are dressing to go to church on Sunday, you you
carry yourself straighter, and if you wear heels, you walk differently.
The dress. You know, inhabiting the dress helped me inhabit
the songs better. I think, I really do think it did.
Oh well, it worked. You nailed it. I have a
question for you. I met you and your husband Paul
last night. I met him last night and you said
(15:12):
he was your for the last time. Yes, he is.
So when you sang that song, I was bawling. First
you told the story of how you wrote it, and
when you you said the line you came home with
and said to Garth for the first time, I'm in
love for the last time, I was like, that's that's
(15:33):
how I felt about my paw because my girlfriend's made
me a T shirt years ago that says, no, it's
for real, this time, it is for real this time.
Two weeks later, I thought I was for real, and um,
you know, I got the I got the collection of divorce.
(15:54):
But people call me and say, how dare you give
people love advice when you have been divorce first more
than once? Really, I think that is also we You
learn what you want, and you learn what you don't want,
and what's good for you and what's not good for you,
and sometimes you have to go through a couple of
husbands to get their sometimes. But this time I'm I'm
(16:20):
in love for the first time for the last time. Yeah,
Tricia Earwood, thank you for being our featured guest, for
spending all this time with us, and blessings to you
and your new music project, Let's Be Frank, and I
look forward to getting to know you better and spending
more time with you in the future. God bless you,
(16:43):
God

share that with our listeners because that was a huge process.
I mean, you have hundreds of songs to choose from,
and you said you had eighty six more that you
wanted to record, which tells me there's gonna be you know,
(10:55):
we we got enough material here for a couple of
more of these. But UM, tell the story of how
you chose the ones that are on the album, and
then we're going to talk about the one that you
wrote with your husband, and and I'm going to talk
about what that means to me. So go ahead. Well,
I did have a list of literally, I think it
was ninety nine songs, um, and it's still on my
(11:16):
laptop because it's still there. I still want to record
the rest of them. Um. And I really was having
a tough time, and Don was who produced the record. UM,
he kept saying, well, which one do you think we're
gonna do? And I kept going, I don't know, I'll
get it. I'll get to a list and then I
just know what and he finds said, look, we have
to you know, we have to do this. We have
to you gotta figure this out. Right right, and you
have to yeah, and you have to decide Tritia, because
(11:38):
this is your album, it's not mine. I'm You're not
gonna see my favorite Frank songs, you know. So, um,
we were having a meeting and he sat me down
with a pin and paper and said, right now, off
the top of your head, what twelve would you cut?
And UM, I wrote down twelve songs and eleven of
them made the record, and um, and so I guess
it was good because I just wasn't allowed to think
(11:59):
about it. Now I've and go back right now and
give you another list of twelve that I would do tomorrow.
You know. So I think that, Um, I do hope
I get to do more of this because I've had
a lot of fun in my career. I've had a
lot of fun in the studio. That's where that's my
happy places, in the studio, creating, making a song mine.
But I don't know if I've ever had more fun
than this. It was just it was just incredible. Not
(12:20):
to not to harp on how special last night was,
but we were in the Rainbow Room, which I could
almost feel the presence of Frank and his gang, you know,
the rat pack. That's where they debuted so many of
their songs, and that was their happy place, you know.
(12:43):
And I've seen so many fabulous pictures of them in
the Rainbow room. And then you walked out on stage,
the orchestra came out, uh, and then you walked out
in that beautiful gown, looking like a vision. And every
song they just got I thought, how is she going
to top that? How are you going to top that one?
You just nailed it? How is she going to top
(13:04):
that one? And each one was just so lush and
so and brought back for me because those are the
songs my mom used to listen to. She had a
little record player, and those are the songs my grandparents
used to play. And each one brought back so many
memories and and they were just all just touching my heart.
It was the same for me that my mother loved
(13:25):
this music, you know, So for me, Um, I think
I mentioned last night. She was born in thirty seven,
and so we watched a lot of old movies and
musicals and played these songs. My mom and dad, Um
were madly in love. Theyre may for forty five years,
and they would, you know, music would come on the
radio there was a there was a kitchen radio and
that was always playing, and something would come up that
(13:47):
reminded them. They met at a square dance, so they
were dancers, and they weren't square dancing at this point,
but they would dance at the kitchen together, you know.
And I'm a kid watching my parents and you're kind
of like oh, and then you're like, oh, it's so sweet.
And they were always that way together. So that means
that it brings back so many memories for me as well.
And I gotta tell you a funny story about the dress.
I was very stressed out about. You know, I'm gonna
(14:08):
remember all these lyrics, and I'm in the rainbow room.
I've been waiting and now I'm freaked out, and um,
and I don't really freak out, I'm pretty zin, but
I was nervous last night. And I had tried on
the dress, this silver dress that looked like a throwback
holly old Hollywood dress. It looks so like like I
could have pictured Frank Sinatra with a lady on his
arm wearing that dress. Yeah, that's how it felt. And
(14:29):
then I was like, oh, well, I don't know, maybe
I should wear And I had a pant suit option
and I have this. It was beautiful and I had
it on and I'm like, it's the rainbow room. And
I'm thinking about what a woman would wear to the
rainbow room in nineteen fifty five or sixty and I'm like,
it's the dress. It's gotta be the dress. And the
dress made you feel like a diva. You're like, Okay,
I'm gonna go out there. And you know, when you're
(14:50):
wearing the outfit, you know how it is. If you
are dressing to go to church on Sunday, you you
carry yourself straighter, and if you wear heels, you walk differently.
The dress. You know, inhabiting the dress helped me inhabit
the songs better. I think, I really do think it did.
Oh well, it worked. You nailed it. I have a
question for you. I met you and your husband Paul
last night. I met him last night and you said
(15:12):
he was your for the last time. Yes, he is.
So when you sang that song, I was bawling. First
you told the story of how you wrote it, and
when you you said the line you came home with
and said to Garth for the first time, I'm in
love for the last time, I was like, that's that's
(15:33):
how I felt about my paw because my girlfriend's made
me a T shirt years ago that says, no, it's
for real, this time, it is for real this time.
Two weeks later, I thought I was for real, and um,
you know, I got the I got the collection of divorce.
(15:54):
But people call me and say, how dare you give
people love advice when you have been divorce first more
than once? Really, I think that is also we You
learn what you want, and you learn what you don't want,
and what's good for you and what's not good for you,
and sometimes you have to go through a couple of
husbands to get their sometimes. But this time I'm I'm
(16:20):
in love for the first time for the last time. Yeah,
