hope you will Charlie, Chase, Lori and Crook. Here this
is Crook and Chase Nashville Chats, and our guest is
Tricia your Wood. Regarded as one of the finest female
vocalists ever in country music. If you ever see this
woman in concert, the power of her vocals don't just
blow you away. And for us, she's also one of
(01:33):
the most fun people just to hang out with. You're
about to hear the things that she throws into a
conversation just hilarious. Now, Tricia isn't a great mood for
a lot of reasons, mainly because she's released her first
solo country album in twelve years now. Last year she
did the Let's Be Frank album, the tribute to one
of her all time favorite singers, Frank Sinatra. Brilliant, beautiful album.
(01:57):
And now we have this one from Tricia. It's called
every Girl. Her fans have been waiting on this one.
It's a nice handful of strong collaborations on it, an
intimate song with Garth that's got a really funny backstory too.
You'll hear that. And this album every Girl reunites Tricia
with her walk away Joe Doett partner Don Henley. How
(02:18):
long ago was there close to thirty years A. Yes,
we're gonna get the story from here coming up, so
there's a lot to get to. And as Tricia settled
into our Crook and Jay studios, she was carrying and listen,
I know this because my wife's a handbag freak. Okay,
but she was carrying this fabulous handbag that became the
focus of our attention, especially miss Crook. Here we go,
we're gropping. You want to come through with us, Trisha? Yeah, okay,
(02:41):
we'll let her get settled the big handbag situation. Okay,
I just got a new handbag. I want you to
see it because I really I went wild. It matches
your microphone pot pink. That's awesome. I just went crazy.
I'm the girl. I'm playing her music only it's fine.
(03:02):
I was in a store. I went to a flooring
store and go, let's fill with garth. And I'm walking
into this woman. She goes, oh, you have a Chloe.
I have the satchel, and I have the blah blah blah,
and I have the blah blah blah blah and I'm like,
that's awesome, and I'm like, I don't know, and Garth goes,
he's Choli, it's a brand. And then I'm like, he guys,
it must speaks fans and I'm like, no, it's not
(03:23):
too bad. We're not going to talk a chalky dog
name Chloe. This girl was very was excited about it.
I was like, I gotta say, I've I've been like
a black bag girl my whole life. And I just thought,
I'm going, what, I love it. You should you deserve it?
(03:44):
I love happy. We ask what's in your purse? Don't
ask her what's I'll dump it on the table. You
want to say, what'sn't it? I'm bringing out some things
and you can say what you think they're for? Oh say,
oh this is fun. Well there's something just s things.
There's a little shoe. If you have a shoe, Um,
it's like a work a man's workshoe will be as
(04:07):
descriptive as possible since this is audio. Okay, so she's
got a shoe, a mini shoe, what is that? Okay?
A measuring take? What are you measuring? Backscratcher that this
is important. I could be if you were really hungry,
(04:28):
madrest you can hear for it's a retractable backscratcher. That's
one of the best investments we've made. We have what
I think I paid too much for this, and it's camo.
It's also falling up. But look, because when when you retracted,
it can be a fork. It could be a fork.
That's a great idea. What would you want to scratch
your back with the fork you ate off of? I
don't know. I thought I'm showing you I like miniature things.
(04:53):
Have you ever backed up against the door frame and
scratched your back? Yes, of course I have. I watched
a cow do it, and I learned not that that's
a great idea. Have we been drinking after? Remember? I
feel like I think, I really do think we should
think we should because we have a lot to celebrate,
and we do have a lot to celebrate, A big album,
(05:13):
a big tour. Girl. Are you overwhelmed ride about now?
I am, because I did not expect the response to
the single that we've gotten, and so I'm just sort
of playing catchup and so excited that there is a
nice little buzz around this album release. And I can't
I just can't. I I know when I was here
(05:35):
before and we were talking about Sinatra, um I was
I was like, I'm warning you there's that something's coming,
but I just didn't know that it would be this.
I mean, I'm you know, I've been saying this for
two days and maybe I shouldn't say it, but I'm
gonna have a fifty four year old woman. So my
expectations for being played on the radio for so many
reasons were kind of like, well, I'm not That's not
why I'm making this record. I'm just I wanted to
record songs that I loved, and I've just been so
(05:57):
pleasantly surprised. I think we need to correct you. Charlie.
Would you agree she is a hotty? You know super Well,
I'll have to get a recording of that, just because
my husband would like to hear you say that. Right.
Oh yeah, that's definitely gonna be in a loop. Let
me go back to your surprising feeling about this whole thing.
(06:20):
It's it's been twelve years I guess since your last
solo country album. I mean, you've done some projects. We
all know that, but uh, what what do you go
in sensing you you're wondering if they're going to remember
you if they're going to golf you. What do you mean, Well,
you know, it's it's it's. The truth is is that
when you know, as a fan of music, most of
(06:42):
us who latch onto an artist, we love their early stuff,
you know, and we might love them as an artist,
and there might be an exception to the rule, like
I don't care what you know album that when Lena
Ronstadt was putting out records, It's like, I don't care
how many, whether it's so you're one or you're thirty,
I'm going to buy it. But the songs still have
to be there. And I think we tend to um not.
(07:04):
I mean, I have an ego and I know that
I have people who love me and love my music,
but um you just don't know what the as time
goes by, what that expectation is. And so for me,
it was kind of wonderful actually because I didn't feel
any pressure. I didn't have any sort of agenda. I
just was like, I have let too much time pass
because of life and touring with Garth and Cooking Show,
(07:27):
and I need to make music because it's what feeds
my soul. And I as a result had the best time,
and and really that's had the kind of freedom that
you should feel when you make an album and then
you figure out what you're gonna do with it, you know,
after it's done. I was looking forward to this and
I was not disappointed at all. Thank you. I mean,
there are You've got such a range. I think your
(07:48):
vocals and I noticed it's when you were celebrating your
twenty years at the Grand ol Opry. The power in
your voice, I think is stronger than ever before. Feelk you,
I feel good. I mean, I don't know what it is.
I mean, um, but my voice does feel good. And
I also think it's a It's again, it's kind of
that freedom of like I used to be so controlled,
I think. I mean, I I was always thinking about
(08:10):
making sure I was on pitch and making sure everything
was perfect. And I'm a virgo and everything's in the
full box. And the older I've gotten, I've really I
really like the I like where my voice sits maturity wise.
I like how it sounds. I like that it sometimes
has a crack in it, you know, it kind of
has a nice little I like that vibe, you know,
so um, I do like where it is and I uh,
(08:32):
it was a joy to sing these songs. I mean,
and I gotta say, I mean, I am rethinking a
couple of these things because I'm gonna be doing some
early morning TV. Like I don't know about that high note.
We'll see if that's going to happen or not, you know.
But yeah, a lot of these songs put you in
a position to sing big. But yeah, and what another
thing that's really cool about this album is I've you know,
(08:52):
singers will um have a favorite microphone in the studio,
and usually you're renting a microphone. And there's this one
microphone that I have sung on for most of my
albums and I never uh they never sell it to me.
I would rent it. It's pink, and Lorian's talking about it,
but it um it finally got available for sale, and
(09:14):
so I bought the and it's it's a C twelve,
which is a brand of microphone that a lot of
people use, and you can rent a hundred of them,
but they all sound unique, you know. So this is
the one that for my voice, I don't blow out
the mic. It's it's warm. For sometimes when you're singing
out really high it can get tinny and painful, and
so you want to keep it warm all those things.
So now I just felt like that was the magic.
(09:36):
It's like now we own now the mic is actually mine. Okay.
Can I be really rude and ask you how much
do they make you pay for? Um? It was about
it was they made me pay about ten thousand dollars
for it. Um, But it's probably a brand new microphone.
That microphe is probably a thirty or forty thousand on
the microphone. So I got a good deal. You could
have had ten forever. But you can't sing into a chloyeback.
(09:59):
I mean you can't, but no one will hear you. No, No,
I didn't mean to be rude, but that microphone can't
be cheap, It's all I'm saying. Well, they gave it
to me because Bob Hyle made it, and nobody would
buy it. Nobody wants a pink microphone. Man, If I should,
I should just painted that microphone pink one of the
times I rented it. Maybe I would, Maybe it is
given it? What was that microphone? I don't know. It's
(10:23):
just a It's almost like you know, two people can
um buy the same car and one of them right,
when of them smooth and one of them's kind of
a lemon or you make both people make the same recipe,
and one taste really, you know, different than another. There's
something about the sound of because these microphones are all
the same, but they're put together by hand, you know,
So something magic happened that day between you when that
(10:45):
you know, when that microphone was put together. Let's talk
about the album overall these days, albums don't necessarily have
themes anymore. I've read that you've said that this one
for you really does about just being who you are.
So in what way does this collection of these particular
songs reveal all the different facets Attricia your w I
(11:07):
think it. I think it's you know, one of the
coolest things to me about what's happening right now in
music is that vinyl is coming back, so people are
tending to listen to a full album again, and and
albums tell a story, they do. I mean, there's you know,
to me, an album, every song needs to be a
little bit different but needs to fit together somehow. And um,
(11:29):
I just like the gamut of emotions and the record.
I mean, I'm uh, people are I laugh a lot
and I'm always, you know, I'm always I'm pretty much
always in a good mood. But we're all complicated people,
we all go through all these emotions, and um, I
just like to be able to kind of explore it all.
Like we were talking about listening to drinking songs when
I came in, but there's you know, and I'm not
even really a big drinker, but those songs like like
(11:51):
the opening song is a song called working on Whiskey,
and it's just that place that, um, I'm not in now,
but I have been there where you're just kind of like,
I'm just I'm devastated and I'm the only thing that's
gonna help me right now is just gonna have a
drink of whiskey and it's gonna be it's gonna make
it better. I've been in that mood for about ten
years now. I'm in that mood now. I think I
(12:12):
brought alcohol last time I was here. I should have
brought something again this time. But but to be able
to go through that and the other the other side
of that coin is um to find songs that are fun,
you know, because music is always to me. If I'm
really down in the dumps, I want to hear a
song that commiserates with me. I don't want to hear
some little up tempo, let's be happy song. I'm not
happy and I wanted someone else to be unhappy with me.
(12:34):
But when I'm in a good mood and I want to,
you know, celebrate that, I want songs that celebrate that. So, uh,
there's gotta be a little something for everybody. You know,
when when listening to an album, it's for me as
a listener, is fascinating to know some stories behind the
songs and that sort of thing. I want to go
to Bible in the forty four And I tie that
in because lastly McBride wrote it, she's performed it live,
(12:57):
and the two of you were together at the recent
See I'm the Music fest, So there's a little networking
process going on here with some of the song selection. Yeah.
I mean, Ashley is so well deserved of all the
good things that are happening to her right now, and
she wrote that song about her dad and UM. What
is so cool to me about that is it's an
incredibly personal song to her UM, but everybody that has
(13:21):
heard it it becomes personal for them, and I think
that's the mark of a really great songwriter, you know.
For me, um, my dad was, I mean I was,
Daddy's a little girl, you know. So to hear a
song that I didn't write that describes my father to
me and helps me remember all the things about him
that I loved, um, that's priceless, you know. So I
(13:41):
feel really grateful. Well, so what do you remember about?
She just got the stink guy? Know, I was like,
I actually thought her cat in here coming out. So
I was like, here are you talking up a hairball
long sleeve? She DONEX do not. It's my interview, but
(14:15):
let's just continue to call out miss Leslie. She couldn't
help it, you know. Well she in case you need
to know, and I think you do. She is the
general manager of Tricia and Garth's record labels, Gwendolyn and
Pearl Records. So Leslie was a good sport. We had
some fun with her. Things got so relaxed. You could sneeze,
you could laugh, whatever you want to do during the conversation.
(14:35):
Well I didn't go that bad anyway. All Right after
the break, Tricia is gonna dish more behind the scenes
fun from the making of her new album, Every Girl
how the intimate duet with Garth could have gotten out
of hand until well she made a lyric change. Okay,
and why she and Kelly Clarkson are in a friendly
battle of the power vocals. Oh wait till you hear that.
(14:58):
We were in a serious conversation about We were about
your dad, rest his soul. So, if you had to
pick two things that you most remember about your dad,
it's in a Bible, in a forty four or something different.
He did, you know? This was he? He was the
guy that you know had the He was a hunter,
you know, and he and so that that taught me
how to hunt and had to love the Lord and
(15:18):
me that's my dad. But the one of the lyrics
that actually actually allowed me to change she had written
every song he's saying was my favorite sound because her
dad was a musician, and my dad had a very
distinctive speaking voice, like kind of like foghorn leghorn meets southern. Yes,
(15:39):
very much, and so um I asked if I could
change it to every word he said was my favorite
sound because one of my one of the ways that
I remember him most is is his unique voice. And
so that was so that was for me one of
those things. And my dad was six to he was
like as a kid, he was that larger than life,
you know, I've got you person and so, um, he'd
(16:01):
be the last man on if the ship went down.
You know that lyric too, It's like that's my dad,
you know. So I think that there are a lot
of um, you know, we we find our dad, our
dad in there, take us behind the scenes. How did
Ashley react when she heard you were going to record
it and put it on your own all? Well, you know,
she's been very kind. I mean, Ashley doesn't need anybody
to record her songs because she's doing just fine. But um,
(16:25):
you know a lot of these girls, um, who are
younger than me. Um, it's you have to acknowledge that
the you know, because at first I was like, you
know whatever, but they're like we grew up on She's
a lot of the boy you know. So. Um. Caitlin Smith,
who is featured on this record, she wrote several songs
on the record, and she's a co writer on Every
Girl in This Town. And Caitlin is a girl who
is like she's burning it up. She's she's got everybody's
(16:48):
cutting her songs. She's got a record out. She's amazing,
and she's this young, fiery girl, you know, and I'm
listening to her in an interview when and someone said,
how did you feel when you found out Trip year
Wood was going to cut every girl in this town?
I thought, you know, she's writing so many songs. I
thought she might even go. I don't remember writing that.
I'm just waiting to, like, here, what's she gonna say?
And she says, first concert I went to an eight
(17:08):
years old. My mom took me and I she bought
me T shirt and I slept in the trishi or
a T shirt every single night. You know. So I
have no idea, you know. So it's kind of a cool. Um,
it's cool to be in this position at this point,
and to be able to be um kind of comrades
and arms with all these younger artists and female singers
and songwriters, to feel like we're all in this together. Well,
and yet it's speaking of that. Isn't it true that?
(17:31):
What are you doing, Charlie Chase? He's adjusting your microphone
closer to your lovely lips. Yes, Charlie, he wants to
hear you say hot trishy. You know he will see
you say that again. But know what what you just
spoke of. People often ask us, isn't really true that
country music is a family or is there in it
(17:53):
really is a family? No, it really is. And I
think what's been really also cool. And you know, the
big conversation now is you women in radio and women
at country radio and the lack of women in radio.
Well what that has done has really really solidified the
relationship between the female singers. And because I think that
there's everyone assumes we're all in such competition with each
(18:14):
other that we're not friends. And I sat backstage at
the CMT mus Accords and laughed my butt off with
Lauren Lena and Raylan and Kelsey Ballerini and I'm the
old lady in the room and I'm having the best time,
and we're and Brandy Carlisle showing me a picture our
video of her sing and she's in love the boy
and gay when she's like seven years old, and and
it was just like, we are, we are together in
(18:35):
this and it's a it is a family. It is
it is if if one does well, we all do well.
And it's been really cool to to feel I think
every girl in this town has kind of made me
feel a part of the girls club again, which is cool.
Let us pray it never changes. Let us pray. Okay.
So here's the thing. I do not know the answer
to this. I know there have been many times when
(18:55):
you have sung some beautiful harmonies and backup vocals for Garth.
How many times has he done that for you? He
does it on this record, he has done it a
few times. He on the very first album I'd made,
he sang harmony on a song called nearestis 'm sure
he also sang on like we Never had a Broken Heart,
which was kind of a duet harmony, sort of like this,
(19:16):
but it's but it was still a harmony. Um he's
saying on Georgia Rain. Actually, but most people don't know
that necessarily, it's not It's just a harmony. It's not
like a standout, you know, duet vocal. I think he's
on that. So he's don't tell, I won't but he
but but but I mean he's made. I don't have
any albums I've sung a harmony on most of his songs,
you know, all the ones that were hits. I sang on.
(19:36):
I don't know what that means. Anything. But um, I mean,
so I really like singing harmony, and it's not necessarily
always a standout part. Sometimes it really does blend in
and you might not even know it's me unless you
read the credits. How did you like how he did?
What gave me away? I loved it? I mean I
went to him. I mean I think most people assume
because we lived together that he has to sing on
my record and that it was just a done deal.
(19:59):
But I wouldn't have asked him to do it if
it wasn't the right song. And that song is such
an intimate song about a couple and it really is
that that person that has your number and he's got
my number, um, for better or worse. So, um, I
wanted him to sing on it. And the only thing,
the only direction I gave him was there's a line
in there that says, uh uh did you know? Like
did you did you get it? When I woke up
(20:19):
in the morning with your T shirt on? I'm like,
I don't think you should sing that you woke up
in the morning with my T shirt on? So why
don't you just lay out of the harmony on Matt
line and then you can come back here you know
that could have been the deal breaker in the relationship,
saying he didn't wear my T shirt. I'm just saying
you shouldn't sing about it. Surve deep dark mystery shared
(20:43):
here we look at the guest stars. Kelly Clarkson, Y
tell me something I don't know? Um, I mean Kelly's however,
and Firecracker right now too, So how did that collaboration
come here? Kelly's not real, Kelly's crazy, like, she's like not,
her vocal ability is is cuteless. Don't we hate her? Yes?
In a in a loving contain so much? I like you.
(21:06):
She is an amazing singer. She's funny, she's sweet, she's smart. Um,
and you know she we've worked together before. She and
I and Reba have signed together a couple of times together.
And you know that that's another situation where you walk
in these girls sing on pitch, they go in. We've
learned if we're going to sing together, that we plan
(21:26):
lunch because you're gonna go in sing it once, you're
gonna get your part and you're done, and it's like,
what do we do now? So I actually had Kelly
sing on two songs. I'm like, why you're here? And
since you nail that one song in five minutes, if
you'd like to sing the other them, that'd be great. Um.
I'm so happy for her. I'm going to get to
be one of the first guests on her talk show
and I lucky girl Kelly Clarkson and on Daytime TV. Like,
I cannot wait to see all those works. She should
(21:48):
be very interesting. But I think she's she's already a
walking TV show. She's she's she's a reality show. I
can't wait to see it. I think it's I just
think she's awesome. So her voice, I mean, there's just
no but like, let's let's go a step further. Because
both of you are power singers. So when two power
singers get together on a song like this, how do
(22:09):
you keep from just like blowing each other's heads off?
I mean there has to be some vocal choreography, right, Well,
like when she came in and sang harmony on Prize Fighter. Uh,
And when she did that, I had already done my vocal. Sorry,
I've already done my vocal, and she came in and
put this really cool harmony on top. But there was
some ad lib stuff at the end, and that's when
I learned we were competitive because she did this lick
(22:31):
and I'm like, let me go back in there. I'd
like to do my lick over again, please. And then
I went and did my lick over again. She's like,
let me go back in there, please, because I'd like
to do my lick over again. Um. So it's kind
of a really friend friendly kind of rivalry, but she
wins every single time. But on these songs, my my
vocal was it was up there, and it was it
was pretty strong. And then when when someone like that
(22:52):
comes in and is able to lay a harmony on
top of that, that is that equals that power. It's
hard to sing up that high with that kind of power. Um.
And she just has another gear. Um. It just that
buzz that that creates is really like if I had
done my own harmony, I could have hit those notes,
but they wouldn't have been that strong. Um. She's just
got that range and it just created this. So she's
(23:14):
probably seeing with a fence post and it was sound amazing,
But I'm just she's it was really cool to hear
you're great together. Sounds like the both of you trying
to break the glass in the studio. Yeah, yeah, maybe
we should try that and see what what happen. Wouldn't
be surprised, no doubt they could shatter some windows around
the neighborhood. Great vocals here all right, Speaking of break,
we have a quick break right here. Up next, what
is the magic that happens when Tricia sings with Eagles
(23:37):
superstar Don Henley. Lightning has struck twice fans from their
nineteen mega hit and walk Away Joe to their stunning
new duod called Love You Anyway. It is stunning. Plus
we have some big scoop for you inside Tricia and
Garth's home what they do to unwind also Garth's favorite
household chore works. He actually works around the house and
(24:01):
it is good at it and also the sweetest reason
why Garth is getting up early just for Tricia. Flori
and I were discussing this before you came along. It's
been how long since walk Away Joe? Okay, seriously, seven
years cannot be because that song and even the way
(24:22):
you sing it is as fresh as the first day.
Thank you. I love that song. That was one of
those magical moments in the studio when you record a song.
First of all, you never know what's going to happen
with it? Anybody who ever says we knew that was
the number one record, they don't know. You know, you don't.
You just don't know. But I do. I do know.
When we finished recording walk Away Joe, the musicians in
the room, it was quiet, and everybody knew we had
(24:45):
done something special. We didn't know what. I'm getting chills
right now just thinking that. We didn't know if that
would be a single. We didn't know, We had no idea.
We weren't even thought about Don Henley yet and didn't
even know if he would do it. Um but we
what we knew that song was special and it ended
up being just really really magical. I love to sing
that song every night live. It's like it's it's such
(25:06):
a special song. Well you and Donn I've done it again,
you know you have. He is you know, he's an eagle.
He's an eagle. It's like I can't, I can't get
past the I mean, I grew up on the Eagles,
you know. So I and I've known him a long
time of twenty seven years. He's he's such a good guy,
you know, he's he's been so kind and he has
such a love and appreciation for country music. Um recorded
(25:30):
his last album here he Um. He is the guy
that says yes when you ask, you know, so I'm
very careful about I don't you know. I'd love for
him to sing on every song, you know. But I
when I heard this, this last cut on the record, UM,
I love you anyway. I just Um, I just heard
him and it's a piano vocal and his his sweet
(25:50):
tender harmony is just over the top. That's why it's
the last cut. It's like nothing should come after that.
We're done now, nothing can come up. We're done. Thank
you very much, We're done. Thanks for playing. And how
do you even describe, though, how you feel when you
hear your voice combine and intertwined so beautifully with somebody else's.
(26:14):
You can't, especially when it's somebody like Don Henley, who
is such a a legend in your in your life
and has been such a musical influence. UM. And that's
I've been lucky that I have had that happened to
me on several occasions with several different artists. You just
feel so grateful, and there's never a moment where it's normal,
you know, I think if it, if it ever becomes normal,
(26:36):
I probably should retire, you know, because I I just
think it's such an extraordinary thing that this that music
allows us to get to um you know, brush shoulders
with people that we would never get to meet and
never get a chance to work with, and then let
alone get to sing with um. When Don he released
(26:57):
that cast Country album, I had sung on three or
four those songs, and he did a live show or
filmed a show in Austin and invited me to come.
And you know, I'm basically seeing a harmony. One of
the best nights of my life walking out on stage
and it's done Henley and I'm getting to sing with him.
You know. It's like those are just those moments that
you think, I'm so grateful I get to do this.
I got to ask about your vocals again. I'm still
(27:20):
so impressed with the strength and all the power in
your voice. I'm curious, but is there anything that you
eat or drink that just gives your voice fits? No,
And I'm really a knock on wood, you know, I'm
I'm really not. I don't because I'm not uh trained
(27:40):
in any way. I don't. I don't know all the
tricks that you're supposed to do, like, I don't know that.
I know. I've heard now over the years, over the
twenty nine years, that you're not supposed to eat like
dairy before you go sing, You're not supposed to you're
supposed to warm up apparently, um, all these things. But
I've never had an issue, so I don't really. The
only thing that ever happened to me was I mentioned
(28:02):
in some interviews somewhere that I liked powdered donuts. It
was like a guilty pleasure. And someone brought me a
little box of many powdered donuts on stage while I
was singing, and I was trying to be cool, and
I ate one, well, powdered you cannot. You should not
breathe in powdered sugar when you're singing, like It's not
a good idea. Lesson learned there that Yeah, so just
(28:24):
a powder donuts not a good thing to eat before
you say totally. The rest of the show was a recitation.
It was greatly She's in love with the boy. Let's
talk about the tour solo tour, first one and what
(28:45):
about five years or so? Yes, so is this is
this kind of a relief that is this all yours
and you get to do whatever you want on stage
and backstage. Are you excited about that? I am excited,
But I will tell you that being the performing in
the middle of the Garth show was so wonderful. I
was like shiny quarter, you know, and I didn't have
to no pressure except that you're in the middle of
(29:06):
the guard show. So if if they're if they're in
a worse mood than they were when you got out there,
and then he comes back out, then you're in trouble. Um.
So my my, I was terrified that. I'm like, how
do I keep the energy up? You know, he's Garth Brooks,
you know. But it was They were awesome. There was
great crowds. But now the responsibilities on me to make
sure that people are in those seats. But what I'm
excited about is I get the opportunity to do those hits,
(29:27):
but I also get a chance to dig a little
deeper and go into some of the other songs. And
you know, um, I usually tell the band when I
have a new album coming out that we're just gonna
learn the single and don't worry about the rest of
the album. If we really something else, We'll figure it out.
But I love this album so much that I asked
the band to learn all fourteen songs for you, and
I said, We're not gonna like go out there and
throw fourteen songs on you and not do She's Love
(29:48):
the Boy. But I do like the idea of having
these songs in my back pocket. So if I want
to pull out Matador or I want to pull out
Love You Anyway or something like that, that I that
we know it and we can do it, because I
I think there I've never I don't know if I've
ever loved a body of work more than this album.
So I really do want to have the opportunity to
sing if I want to, and you'll do some let's
(30:09):
be Frank songs. It's a twenty two city tour, so
I have to ask at each stop prior to the show,
will Garth be on the parking like grilling Hamburg? But
yes he will. I haven't told him that yet, but
I think I'm gonna just have him steam my clothes. Okay,
(30:31):
how would that really go? I don't I don't think
it good. I mean, he probably don't. But I will
say this joke about that. But this is a guy
who will iron his shirts. He ironed still he irons
I have not used an iron. Yes, okay, that makes
him the perfect mass. There's so many things that are
not right about that, but and yet it's wonderful like
he really does iron and um he this morning I
(30:56):
had to get up at five thirty because I had
a really long, busy day. He did not have to
get up five dirty. When I got up, he was
up making coffee for me. He doesn't drink coffee. He
does not drink coffee, and he made you coffee and
he went back to sleep. But how can Charlie write
this stuff down? How can somebody who does who doesn't
drink coffee make good? He makes great coffee. I don't know,
(31:16):
and I don't usually trust someone who doesn't drink coffee,
and talk about between the two? Can I can I
tell her something first, as she will love? One time
I told my husband because he does nothing around the house.
And one time I told him you are going to vacuum.
I sat back in a corner and giggled for about
ten minutes. He could not figure out how to turn
(31:36):
it on. He couldn't he couldn't find the on switch
to the vacuum. It was a riding vacuum clean. Nice. Nice.
He probably knew where it was, you know. I do
like what Garth will say is, man, you were so
sexy when you're loading the dishwasher. I'm like, really, thank
(31:57):
you learning the marital tricks. So go ahead, Charlie. Well,
you're a wonderful cook. I mean we've sampled your food
on several occasions. It's always wonderful. Have you ever prepared
something that Garth didn't like and you found out in
the backyard later? No, But I will say that he
(32:17):
is very honest about about and I'll be like something
that I've discovered that thinks amazing, and I'll be like,
you need to try this. And sometimes it's really hard
to even get him to try something because he's very
set in his ways about what he likes and and
he he doesn't think he I don't think I don't
like sweet potatoes. I'm like, well, you just say a
sweeptata burger and you loved it, But I just made
I didn't tell you there a sweep tato when it
So he will do that if I kind of if
(32:39):
I kind of you know, cheating man, but if he
loves a song, if he loves a dish, he he
can't really speak. It's like, you know, the yummy sounds.
And if he doesn't love it, he won't say I
don't like it. He'll usually say well, sometimes he'll say
it's just has no taste, it's like it's missing something.
I'm like okay, or he'll say it's it's nice. Then
(33:02):
you know that's not good. He tries to be diplomatic,
and I'm usually mad at first, but then he's usually
right about it, so then I just go. Then I
get to work and start to tweak it to well.
I mean, that's how you perfect yourself, right, right, Charlie
could ticks me all the time. How close am I too? Perfect? No? Nowhere? Well,
(33:24):
the thing that the truth of the matter is she
is perfect. It's just that you'll never think she is.
And that's competition. I got to bring this up because
the man mentioned the other day about the cooking and
all this stuff. Walk the dogs. But you guys playing
Nintendo added my gaming. He's talking about your your gamer
(33:49):
and he says that you usually whoop is, but are
we actually usually play on the same team, Like we're
not you're not supposed to. But we we team up,
so we're kind of going after everybody else and our
goal is to come in first and second. We're very competitive, um,
and so it's better if we're on the same team
because if we're not, I would probably just I would
he would think it's funny. I would storm off and
(34:09):
be really angry if I don't win, because I'm very competitive.
Our game is so old that it it blinks off
and on, so you have to be really good because
it's really I mean, I need Nintendo needs to make
this version, but an updated version. This is a game, okay,
So first of all, you can't find it anywhere. I
have a backup plan, so when one starts to kind
(34:29):
of blink out, I'll put the other one in and
see if I can make it, make it work. It's
it's all very It's almost like you know when you
told your kid to go over and stand in front
the TV with the antenna, and it's kind of like that.
It's like, Okay, the game is in, it's on, don't move,
like we can't shake the game at all, and it'll
go out, so the TV will just go black and
you're you're playing and you're flying down this highway and
you're playing and the TV goes black and you pause
(34:51):
and you just sit there and wait, and then the
game blinks back up. So if you can win with
that happening, that's almost like an obstacle. Course, so sad,
and it's sad. This is what we do. That's what
we did, Charlie, she's obsessed. But what it is is
because I'm not really I never played I never played
video games. I never until I met Garth, and this
(35:12):
is the only game we play. Um. But I think
for us it's kind of end of the night, let
your mind just go and not have to think about
all the things you have going on. And it takes
us about an hour to get through all these little,
you know ones that we do. If we play the
whole game, and it's just fun and we it's a
chance to kind of just be together and we sit
in the same chair. We're we're such nerds. We're sitting
(35:34):
this big overseas chair together and we play, and uh,
it's just a chance to kind of be together in
the night and not think about anything the next day.
Set For me, it's donkey Kong, oh, is it? Well?
Do you want to go. Do you want to elaborate?
Is that your thing? Yeah? I didn't. I was kind
of past. Like my my younger friends played pac Man.
I played pac Man a little bit because I used
(35:55):
to take my clothes to a laundromat before I had
a Washington dryer, and when I moved to town and
there was a pac Man machine at the laundromat, so
I would play pac Man. But I wasn't very good
at it. I never got I never got obsessed with
any of those games. Wow, what about you, Charlie, Do
you play a game? I used to play Super Mario
a lot. Super Mario? Okay, yeah, I played Mario with
my my grandson, and we did that with our girls.
(36:16):
Our girls like that game. We played that game with
them when they were little. And I'm sick of that song.
Oh gosh, yes, So does that go with you on tour?
Does the game go with I mean, so like one?
Are the cool things you take with you on tour
that just make you happy? Um? My pillow, um, it's
the pillow is very important, not necessarily my pillow. It's
(36:38):
the pillow. It's an important pillow. Um. And and that's
really it. I mean Garth and I have really um
tried to in a fan. I take a small fan
because of the sound in the room. I used to
try to replicate it on the phone or have the
ocean sounds or whatever. I'm like, I just need a
fan blowing, So I carry a fan comforting. I do
have to have a fan blown on me. That's kind
(37:00):
it Okay, Well you are not high, mate, I'm really not.
I'm not, but I tell you you know here we
are as we speak. It's just a few days before
the actual launch of the tour, and you're going to
do a personal tour, You're gonna be doing television. I
mean you suddenly find yourself slammed. Um, I think that
(37:20):
what you expect. I think you live slammed. Well, I think, Garthen,
we're talking about this the other night. We were sitting
out on the front porch and we were looking over
downtown Nashville, and we're going, man, because I mean, I'm
about snive, he's fifty seven, and we're busier now than
we ever were, and and and it's good. I mean,
it's it's all good stuff. And we were just grateful.
(37:41):
I mean we've managed to somehow figure out how to
spend very little time apart even with us doing all
these crazy things. UM. So we um. You know, when
I go to l A next week to do some press,
he's got some stuff to do, so he'll ride along
with me. We won't we'll be doing our things during
the day, but we'll see each other at night. And
so we we just we just we've made our relationship
(38:03):
the priority, and sometimes it comes at one sacrificing and
when you're artists that you know, we're trained as artists,
it's all about me. It's really hard when you're talking
about yourself all the time to have to go, oh,
I probably should feed that guy actually might make differ
him at some point. So um. And sometimes we are
in that position now where it's like, oh, did I
(38:25):
did I tell you that I'm leaving for New York tonight?
I might have forgotten to tell you that. Um. But
we try really hard to make sure that we that's
our priority, and I think that's what makes it it works.
And we both come from uh families that made that
instilled in us. How grateful that we should be, you know,
and so I think we just that's that's the life
we leave Karena and I start to day everyday, so
(38:45):
what are you doing today? And what are we doing today?
That's a good way to kind of we kind of review.
It helps them remember crap that I forgot, you know,
and we we also plan ahead, you know, the this
has been a really busy year for both of us,
and with the tour it ends the think the eighth
of December or something like that, and I'm taking obviously
(39:06):
the holidays off. But we I said, can you block January?
And he said yeah? And he said can you and
I said yeah, So we we blocked January. And then
the next day I got a call from Food Network saying,
we want to start, you know, season sixteen to start
airing in February. Can you give us some dates in
January that worked for you? And I probably, you know,
in any other life, I would have said sure, and
(39:27):
but I said, I actually can't. I can't. I'm I'm
I can't do January. So uh, that's an example of
just like you know, and I want to do those
shows and it'll be great and we'll start in February
and everything will be find wu. So um, I think
that's an example of just trying to you know, really
guard that time because you can. You can block a
week to spend with your spouse, and then all of
(39:48):
a sudden it starts getting wheeled away on either side
and then you have nothing. So you have to just
you have to really work at it. Well. The coolest
thing is, in my opinion, is that amid all of
this whirlwind, that is your law, if you have managed
to create some of the best music of your life.
Congratulates keep for saying that. Listen, you're wonderful. You're wonderful.
(40:09):
I am. I am speaking of just like full circle
and time. It's like it's just such a delight always
to to be with you. And you're one of the
very first people that I got a chance to meet
and that was a moment for me in my career.
And for you to be so kind to me and
to my husband all these years, I mean, your your
family to us, and so I love that we're all
(40:30):
still here doing this thing and then we're doing fun
and having fun. So you see why Garth Brooks is
not the only one in love with Tricia. You're just
such a sweet friend, such a wonderful person to hang
out with, always in a good mood. She is funny
she you know, she has a cooking show. She should
have a comedy show. Well, but that's that cooking shows
(40:52):
in this twelfth season, something like that Ammy Award winning
cooking and she's cooking at her own kitchen and everything.
That lady is just a for star in so many
different ways, and we're happy to call her friends. This
is a lot of fun visiting with it, and we
are so happy for the brand new music. The album
is out every Girl, and we have your country covered.

hope you will Charlie, Chase, Lori and Crook. Here this
is Crook and Chase Nashville Chats, and our guest is
Tricia your Wood. Regarded as one of the finest female
vocalists ever in country music. If you ever see this
woman in concert, the power of her vocals don't just
blow you away. And for us, she's also one of
(01:33):
the most fun people just to hang out with. You're
about to hear the things that she throws into a
conversation just hilarious. Now, Tricia isn't a great mood for
a lot of reasons, mainly because she's released her first
solo country album in twelve years now. Last year she
did the Let's Be Frank album, the tribute to one
of her all time favorite singers, Frank Sinatra. Brilliant, beautiful album.
(01:57):
And now we have this one from Tricia. It's called
every Girl. Her fans have been waiting on this one.
It's a nice handful of strong collaborations on it, an
intimate song with Garth that's got a really funny backstory too.
You'll hear that. And this album every Girl reunites Tricia
with her walk away Joe Doett partner Don Henley. How
(02:18):
long ago was there close to thirty years A. Yes,
we're gonna get the story from here coming up, so
there's a lot to get to. And as Tricia settled
into our Crook and Jay studios, she was carrying and listen,
I know this because my wife's a handbag freak. Okay,
but she was carrying this fabulous handbag that became the
focus of our attention, especially miss Crook. Here we go,
we're gropping. You want to come through with us, Trisha? Yeah, okay,
(02:41):
we'll let her get settled the big handbag situation. Okay,
I just got a new handbag. I want you to
see it because I really I went wild. It matches
your microphone pot pink. That's awesome. I just went crazy.
I'm the girl. I'm playing her music only it's fine.
(03:02):
I was in a store. I went to a flooring
store and go, let's fill with garth. And I'm walking
into this woman. She goes, oh, you have a Chloe.
I have the satchel, and I have the blah blah blah,
and I have the blah blah blah blah and I'm like,
that's awesome, and I'm like, I don't know, and Garth goes,
he's Choli, it's a brand. And then I'm like, he guys,
it must speaks fans and I'm like, no, it's not
(03:23):
too bad. We're not going to talk a chalky dog
name Chloe. This girl was very was excited about it.
I was like, I gotta say, I've I've been like
a black bag girl my whole life. And I just thought,
I'm going, what, I love it. You should you deserve it?
(03:44):
I love happy. We ask what's in your purse? Don't
ask her what's I'll dump it on the table. You
want to say, what'sn't it? I'm bringing out some things
and you can say what you think they're for? Oh say,
oh this is fun. Well there's something just s things.
There's a little shoe. If you have a shoe, Um,
it's like a work a man's workshoe will be as
(04:07):
descriptive as possible since this is audio. Okay, so she's
got a shoe, a mini shoe, what is that? Okay?
A measuring take? What are you measuring? Backscratcher that this
is important. I could be if you were really hungry,
(04:28):
madrest you can hear for it's a retractable backscratcher. That's
one of the best investments we've made. We have what
I think I paid too much for this, and it's camo.
It's also falling up. But look, because when when you retracted,
it can be a fork. It could be a fork.
That's a great idea. What would you want to scratch
your back with the fork you ate off of? I
don't know. I thought I'm showing you I like miniature things.
(04:53):
Have you ever backed up against the door frame and
scratched your back? Yes, of course I have. I watched
a cow do it, and I learned not that that's
a great idea. Have we been drinking after? Remember? I
feel like I think, I really do think we should
think we should because we have a lot to celebrate,
and we do have a lot to celebrate, A big album,
(05:13):
a big tour. Girl. Are you overwhelmed ride about now?
I am, because I did not expect the response to
the single that we've gotten, and so I'm just sort
of playing catchup and so excited that there is a
nice little buzz around this album release. And I can't
I just can't. I I know when I was here
(05:35):
before and we were talking about Sinatra, um I was
I was like, I'm warning you there's that something's coming,
but I just didn't know that it would be this.
I mean, I'm you know, I've been saying this for
two days and maybe I shouldn't say it, but I'm
gonna have a fifty four year old woman. So my
expectations for being played on the radio for so many
reasons were kind of like, well, I'm not That's not
why I'm making this record. I'm just I wanted to
record songs that I loved, and I've just been so
(05:57):
pleasantly surprised. I think we need to correct you. Charlie.
Would you agree she is a hotty? You know super Well,
I'll have to get a recording of that, just because
my husband would like to hear you say that. Right.
Oh yeah, that's definitely gonna be in a loop. Let
me go back to your surprising feeling about this whole thing.
(06:20):
It's it's been twelve years I guess since your last
solo country album. I mean, you've done some projects. We
all know that, but uh, what what do you go
in sensing you you're wondering if they're going to remember
you if they're going to golf you. What do you mean, Well,
you know, it's it's it's. The truth is is that
when you know, as a fan of music, most of
(06:42):
us who latch onto an artist, we love their early stuff,
you know, and we might love them as an artist,
and there might be an exception to the rule, like
I don't care what you know album that when Lena
Ronstadt was putting out records, It's like, I don't care
how many, whether it's so you're one or you're thirty,
I'm going to buy it. But the songs still have
to be there. And I think we tend to um not.
(07:04):
I mean, I have an ego and I know that
I have people who love me and love my music,
but um you just don't know what the as time
goes by, what that expectation is. And so for me,
it was kind of wonderful actually because I didn't feel
any pressure. I didn't have any sort of agenda. I
just was like, I have let too much time pass
because of life and touring with Garth and Cooking Show,
(07:27):
and I need to make music because it's what feeds
my soul. And I as a result had the best time,
and and really that's had the kind of freedom that
you should feel when you make an album and then
you figure out what you're gonna do with it, you know,
after it's done. I was looking forward to this and
I was not disappointed at all. Thank you. I mean,
there are You've got such a range. I think your
(07:48):
vocals and I noticed it's when you were celebrating your
twenty years at the Grand ol Opry. The power in
your voice, I think is stronger than ever before. Feelk you,
I feel good. I mean, I don't know what it is.
I mean, um, but my voice does feel good. And
I also think it's a It's again, it's kind of
that freedom of like I used to be so controlled,
I think. I mean, I I was always thinking about
(08:10):
making sure I was on pitch and making sure everything
was perfect. And I'm a virgo and everything's in the
full box. And the older I've gotten, I've really I
really like the I like where my voice sits maturity wise.
I like how it sounds. I like that it sometimes
has a crack in it, you know, it kind of
has a nice little I like that vibe, you know,
so um, I do like where it is and I uh,
(08:32):
it was a joy to sing these songs. I mean,
and I gotta say, I mean, I am rethinking a
couple of these things because I'm gonna be doing some
early morning TV. Like I don't know about that high note.
We'll see if that's going to happen or not, you know.
But yeah, a lot of these songs put you in
a position to sing big. But yeah, and what another
thing that's really cool about this album is I've you know,
(08:52):
singers will um have a favorite microphone in the studio,
and usually you're renting a microphone. And there's this one
microphone that I have sung on for most of my
albums and I never uh they never sell it to me.
I would rent it. It's pink, and Lorian's talking about it,
but it um it finally got available for sale, and
(09:14):
so I bought the and it's it's a C twelve,
which is a brand of microphone that a lot of
people use, and you can rent a hundred of them,
but they all sound unique, you know. So this is
the one that for my voice, I don't blow out
the mic. It's it's warm. For sometimes when you're singing
out really high it can get tinny and painful, and
so you want to keep it warm all those things.
So now I just felt like that was the magic.
(09:36):
It's like now we own now the mic is actually mine. Okay.
Can I be really rude and ask you how much
do they make you pay for? Um? It was about
it was they made me pay about ten thousand dollars
for it. Um, But it's probably a brand new microphone.
That microphe is probably a thirty or forty thousand on
the microphone. So I got a good deal. You could
have had ten forever. But you can't sing into a chloyeback.
(09:59):
I mean you can't, but no one will hear you. No, No,
I didn't mean to be rude, but that microphone can't
be cheap, It's all I'm saying. Well, they gave it
to me because Bob Hyle made it, and nobody would
buy it. Nobody wants a pink microphone. Man, If I should,
I should just painted that microphone pink one of the
times I rented it. Maybe I would, Maybe it is
given it? What was that microphone? I don't know. It's
(10:23):
just a It's almost like you know, two people can
um buy the same car and one of them right,
when of them smooth and one of them's kind of
a lemon or you make both people make the same recipe,
and one taste really, you know, different than another. There's
something about the sound of because these microphones are all
the same, but they're put together by hand, you know,
So something magic happened that day between you when that
(10:45):
you know, when that microphone was put together. Let's talk
about the album overall these days, albums don't necessarily have
themes anymore. I've read that you've said that this one
for you really does about just being who you are.
So in what way does this collection of these particular
songs reveal all the different facets Attricia your w I
(11:07):
think it. I think it's you know, one of the
coolest things to me about what's happening right now in
music is that vinyl is coming back, so people are
tending to listen to a full album again, and and
albums tell a story, they do. I mean, there's you know,
to me, an album, every song needs to be a
little bit different but needs to fit together somehow. And um,
(11:29):
I just like the gamut of emotions and the record.
I mean, I'm uh, people are I laugh a lot
and I'm always, you know, I'm always I'm pretty much
always in a good mood. But we're all complicated people,
we all go through all these emotions, and um, I
just like to be able to kind of explore it all.
Like we were talking about listening to drinking songs when
I came in, but there's you know, and I'm not
even really a big drinker, but those songs like like
(11:51):
the opening song is a song called working on Whiskey,
and it's just that place that, um, I'm not in now,
but I have been there where you're just kind of like,
I'm just I'm devastated and I'm the only thing that's
gonna help me right now is just gonna have a
drink of whiskey and it's gonna be it's gonna make
it better. I've been in that mood for about ten
years now. I'm in that mood now. I think I
(12:12):
brought alcohol last time I was here. I should have
brought something again this time. But but to be able
to go through that and the other the other side
of that coin is um to find songs that are fun,
you know, because music is always to me. If I'm
really down in the dumps, I want to hear a
song that commiserates with me. I don't want to hear
some little up tempo, let's be happy song. I'm not
happy and I wanted someone else to be unhappy with me.
(12:34):
But when I'm in a good mood and I want to,
you know, celebrate that, I want songs that celebrate that. So, uh,
there's gotta be a little something for everybody. You know,
when when listening to an album, it's for me as
a listener, is fascinating to know some stories behind the
songs and that sort of thing. I want to go
to Bible in the forty four And I tie that
in because lastly McBride wrote it, she's performed it live,
(12:57):
and the two of you were together at the recent
See I'm the Music fest, So there's a little networking
process going on here with some of the song selection. Yeah.
I mean, Ashley is so well deserved of all the
good things that are happening to her right now, and
she wrote that song about her dad and UM. What
is so cool to me about that is it's an
incredibly personal song to her UM, but everybody that has
(13:21):
heard it it becomes personal for them, and I think
that's the mark of a really great songwriter, you know.
For me, um, my dad was, I mean I was,
Daddy's a little girl, you know. So to hear a
song that I didn't write that describes my father to
me and helps me remember all the things about him
that I loved, um, that's priceless, you know. So I
(13:41):
feel really grateful. Well, so what do you remember about?
She just got the stink guy? Know, I was like,
I actually thought her cat in here coming out. So
I was like, here are you talking up a hairball
long sleeve? She DONEX do not. It's my interview, but
(14:15):
let's just continue to call out miss Leslie. She couldn't
help it, you know. Well she in case you need
to know, and I think you do. She is the
general manager of Tricia and Garth's record labels, Gwendolyn and
Pearl Records. So Leslie was a good sport. We had
some fun with her. Things got so relaxed. You could sneeze,
you could laugh, whatever you want to do during the conversation.
(14:35):
Well I didn't go that bad anyway. All Right after
the break, Tricia is gonna dish more behind the scenes
fun from the making of her new album, Every Girl
how the intimate duet with Garth could have gotten out
of hand until well she made a lyric change. Okay,
and why she and Kelly Clarkson are in a friendly
battle of the power vocals. Oh wait till you hear that.
(14:58):
We were in a serious conversation about We were about
your dad, rest his soul. So, if you had to
pick two things that you most remember about your dad,
it's in a Bible, in a forty four or something different.
He did, you know? This was he? He was the
guy that you know had the He was a hunter,
you know, and he and so that that taught me
how to hunt and had to love the Lord and
(15:18):
me that's my dad. But the one of the lyrics
that actually actually allowed me to change she had written
every song he's saying was my favorite sound because her
dad was a musician, and my dad had a very
distinctive speaking voice, like kind of like foghorn leghorn meets southern. Yes,
(15:39):
very much, and so um I asked if I could
change it to every word he said was my favorite
sound because one of my one of the ways that
I remember him most is is his unique voice. And
so that was so that was for me one of
those things. And my dad was six to he was
like as a kid, he was that larger than life,
you know, I've got you person and so, um, he'd
(16:01):
be the last man on if the ship went down.
You know that lyric too, It's like that's my dad,
you know. So I think that there are a lot
of um, you know, we we find our dad, our
dad in there, take us behind the scenes. How did
Ashley react when she heard you were going to record
it and put it on your own all? Well, you know,
she's been very kind. I mean, Ashley doesn't need anybody
to record her songs because she's doing just fine. But um,
(16:25):
you know a lot of these girls, um, who are
younger than me. Um, it's you have to acknowledge that
the you know, because at first I was like, you
know whatever, but they're like we grew up on She's
a lot of the boy you know. So. Um. Caitlin Smith,
who is featured on this record, she wrote several songs
on the record, and she's a co writer on Every
Girl in This Town. And Caitlin is a girl who
is like she's burning it up. She's she's got everybody's
(16:48):
cutting her songs. She's got a record out. She's amazing,
and she's this young, fiery girl, you know, and I'm
listening to her in an interview when and someone said,
how did you feel when you found out Trip year
Wood was going to cut every girl in this town?
I thought, you know, she's writing so many songs. I
thought she might even go. I don't remember writing that.
I'm just waiting to, like, here, what's she gonna say?
And she says, first concert I went to an eight
(17:08):
years old. My mom took me and I she bought
me T shirt and I slept in the trishi or
a T shirt every single night. You know. So I
have no idea, you know. So it's kind of a cool. Um,
it's cool to be in this position at this point,
and to be able to be um kind of comrades
and arms with all these younger artists and female singers
and songwriters, to feel like we're all in this together. Well,
and yet it's speaking of that. Isn't it true that?
(17:31):
What are you doing, Charlie Chase? He's adjusting your microphone
closer to your lovely lips. Yes, Charlie, he wants to
hear you say hot trishy. You know he will see
you say that again. But know what what you just
spoke of. People often ask us, isn't really true that
country music is a family or is there in it
(17:53):
really is a family? No, it really is. And I
think what's been really also cool. And you know, the
big conversation now is you women in radio and women
at country radio and the lack of women in radio.
Well what that has done has really really solidified the
relationship between the female singers. And because I think that
there's everyone assumes we're all in such competition with each
(18:14):
other that we're not friends. And I sat backstage at
the CMT mus Accords and laughed my butt off with
Lauren Lena and Raylan and Kelsey Ballerini and I'm the
old lady in the room and I'm having the best time,
and we're and Brandy Carlisle showing me a picture our
video of her sing and she's in love the boy
and gay when she's like seven years old, and and
it was just like, we are, we are together in
(18:35):
this and it's a it is a family. It is
it is if if one does well, we all do well.
And it's been really cool to to feel I think
every girl in this town has kind of made me
feel a part of the girls club again, which is cool.
Let us pray it never changes. Let us pray. Okay.
So here's the thing. I do not know the answer
to this. I know there have been many times when
(18:55):
you have sung some beautiful harmonies and backup vocals for Garth.
How many times has he done that for you? He
does it on this record, he has done it a
few times. He on the very first album I'd made,
he sang harmony on a song called nearestis 'm sure
he also sang on like we Never had a Broken Heart,
which was kind of a duet harmony, sort of like this,
(19:16):
but it's but it was still a harmony. Um he's
saying on Georgia Rain. Actually, but most people don't know
that necessarily, it's not It's just a harmony. It's not
like a standout, you know, duet vocal. I think he's
on that. So he's don't tell, I won't but he
but but but I mean he's made. I don't have
any albums I've sung a harmony on most of his songs,
you know, all the ones that were hits. I sang on.
(19:36):
I don't know what that means. Anything. But um, I mean,
so I really like singing harmony, and it's not necessarily
always a standout part. Sometimes it really does blend in
and you might not even know it's me unless you
read the credits. How did you like how he did?
What gave me away? I loved it? I mean I
went to him. I mean I think most people assume
because we lived together that he has to sing on
my record and that it was just a done deal.
(19:59):
But I wouldn't have asked him to do it if
it wasn't the right song. And that song is such
an intimate song about a couple and it really is
that that person that has your number and he's got
my number, um, for better or worse. So, um, I
wanted him to sing on it. And the only thing,
the only direction I gave him was there's a line
in there that says, uh uh did you know? Like
did you did you get it? When I woke up
(20:19):
in the morning with your T shirt on? I'm like,
I don't think you should sing that you woke up
in the morning with my T shirt on? So why
don't you just lay out of the harmony on Matt
line and then you can come back here you know
that could have been the deal breaker in the relationship,
saying he didn't wear my T shirt. I'm just saying
you shouldn't sing about it. Surve deep dark mystery shared
(20:43):
here we look at the guest stars. Kelly Clarkson, Y
tell me something I don't know? Um, I mean Kelly's however,
and Firecracker right now too, So how did that collaboration
come here? Kelly's not real, Kelly's crazy, like, she's like not,
her vocal ability is is cuteless. Don't we hate her? Yes?
In a in a loving contain so much? I like you.
(21:06):
She is an amazing singer. She's funny, she's sweet, she's smart. Um,
and you know she we've worked together before. She and
I and Reba have signed together a couple of times together.
And you know that that's another situation where you walk
in these girls sing on pitch, they go in. We've
learned if we're going to sing together, that we plan
(21:26):
lunch because you're gonna go in sing it once, you're
gonna get your part and you're done, and it's like,
what do we do now? So I actually had Kelly
sing on two songs. I'm like, why you're here? And
since you nail that one song in five minutes, if
you'd like to sing the other them, that'd be great. Um.
I'm so happy for her. I'm going to get to
be one of the first guests on her talk show
and I lucky girl Kelly Clarkson and on Daytime TV. Like,
I cannot wait to see all those works. She should
(21:48):
be very interesting. But I think she's she's already a
walking TV show. She's she's she's a reality show. I
can't wait to see it. I think it's I just
think she's awesome. So her voice, I mean, there's just
no but like, let's let's go a step further. Because
both of you are power singers. So when two power
singers get together on a song like this, how do
(22:09):
you keep from just like blowing each other's heads off?
I mean there has to be some vocal choreography, right, Well,
like when she came in and sang harmony on Prize Fighter. Uh,
And when she did that, I had already done my vocal. Sorry,
I've already done my vocal, and she came in and
put this really cool harmony on top. But there was
some ad lib stuff at the end, and that's when
I learned we were competitive because she did this lick
(22:31):
and I'm like, let me go back in there. I'd
like to do my lick over again, please. And then
I went and did my lick over again. She's like,
let me go back in there, please, because I'd like
to do my lick over again. Um. So it's kind
of a really friend friendly kind of rivalry, but she
wins every single time. But on these songs, my my
vocal was it was up there, and it was it
was pretty strong. And then when when someone like that
(22:52):
comes in and is able to lay a harmony on
top of that, that is that equals that power. It's
hard to sing up that high with that kind of power. Um.
And she just has another gear. Um. It just that
buzz that that creates is really like if I had
done my own harmony, I could have hit those notes,
but they wouldn't have been that strong. Um. She's just
got that range and it just created this. So she's
(23:14):
probably seeing with a fence post and it was sound amazing,
But I'm just she's it was really cool to hear
you're great together. Sounds like the both of you trying
to break the glass in the studio. Yeah, yeah, maybe
we should try that and see what what happen. Wouldn't
be surprised, no doubt they could shatter some windows around
the neighborhood. Great vocals here all right, Speaking of break,
we have a quick break right here. Up next, what
is the magic that happens when Tricia sings with Eagles
(23:37):
superstar Don Henley. Lightning has struck twice fans from their
nineteen mega hit and walk Away Joe to their stunning
new duod called Love You Anyway. It is stunning. Plus
we have some big scoop for you inside Tricia and
Garth's home what they do to unwind also Garth's favorite
household chore works. He actually works around the house and
(24:01):
it is good at it and also the sweetest reason
why Garth is getting up early just for Tricia. Flori
and I were discussing this before you came along. It's
been how long since walk Away Joe? Okay, seriously, seven
years cannot be because that song and even the way
(24:22):
you sing it is as fresh as the first day.
Thank you. I love that song. That was one of
those magical moments in the studio when you record a song.
First of all, you never know what's going to happen
with it? Anybody who ever says we knew that was
the number one record, they don't know. You know, you don't.
You just don't know. But I do. I do know.
When we finished recording walk Away Joe, the musicians in
the room, it was quiet, and everybody knew we had
(24:45):
done something special. We didn't know what. I'm getting chills
right now just thinking that. We didn't know if that
would be a single. We didn't know, We had no idea.
We weren't even thought about Don Henley yet and didn't
even know if he would do it. Um but we
what we knew that song was special and it ended
up being just really really magical. I love to sing
that song every night live. It's like it's it's such
(25:06):
a special song. Well you and Donn I've done it again,
you know you have. He is you know, he's an eagle.
He's an eagle. It's like I can't, I can't get
past the I mean, I grew up on the Eagles,
you know. So I and I've known him a long
time of twenty seven years. He's he's such a good guy,
you know, he's he's been so kind and he has
such a love and appreciation for country music. Um recorded
(25:30):
his last album here he Um. He is the guy
that says yes when you ask, you know, so I'm
very careful about I don't you know. I'd love for
him to sing on every song, you know. But I
when I heard this, this last cut on the record, UM,
I love you anyway. I just Um, I just heard
him and it's a piano vocal and his his sweet
(25:50):
tender harmony is just over the top. That's why it's
the last cut. It's like nothing should come after that.
We're done now, nothing can come up. We're done. Thank
you very much, We're done. Thanks for playing. And how
do you even describe, though, how you feel when you
hear your voice combine and intertwined so beautifully with somebody else's.
(26:14):
You can't, especially when it's somebody like Don Henley, who
is such a a legend in your in your life
and has been such a musical influence. UM. And that's
I've been lucky that I have had that happened to
me on several occasions with several different artists. You just
feel so grateful, and there's never a moment where it's normal,
you know, I think if it, if it ever becomes normal,
(26:36):
I probably should retire, you know, because I I just
think it's such an extraordinary thing that this that music
allows us to get to um you know, brush shoulders
with people that we would never get to meet and
never get a chance to work with, and then let
alone get to sing with um. When Don he released
(26:57):
that cast Country album, I had sung on three or
four those songs, and he did a live show or
filmed a show in Austin and invited me to come.
And you know, I'm basically seeing a harmony. One of
the best nights of my life walking out on stage
and it's done Henley and I'm getting to sing with him.
You know. It's like those are just those moments that
you think, I'm so grateful I get to do this.
I got to ask about your vocals again. I'm still
(27:20):
so impressed with the strength and all the power in
your voice. I'm curious, but is there anything that you
eat or drink that just gives your voice fits? No,
And I'm really a knock on wood, you know, I'm
I'm really not. I don't because I'm not uh trained
(27:40):
in any way. I don't. I don't know all the
tricks that you're supposed to do, like, I don't know that.
I know. I've heard now over the years, over the
twenty nine years, that you're not supposed to eat like
dairy before you go sing, You're not supposed to you're
supposed to warm up apparently, um, all these things. But
I've never had an issue, so I don't really. The
only thing that ever happened to me was I mentioned
(28:02):
in some interviews somewhere that I liked powdered donuts. It
was like a guilty pleasure. And someone brought me a
little box of many powdered donuts on stage while I
was singing, and I was trying to be cool, and
I ate one, well, powdered you cannot. You should not
breathe in powdered sugar when you're singing, like It's not
a good idea. Lesson learned there that Yeah, so just
(28:24):
a powder donuts not a good thing to eat before
you say totally. The rest of the show was a recitation.
It was greatly She's in love with the boy. Let's
talk about the tour solo tour, first one and what
(28:45):
about five years or so? Yes, so is this is
this kind of a relief that is this all yours
and you get to do whatever you want on stage
and backstage. Are you excited about that? I am excited,
But I will tell you that being the performing in
the middle of the Garth show was so wonderful. I
was like shiny quarter, you know, and I didn't have
to no pressure except that you're in the middle of
(29:06):
the guard show. So if if they're if they're in
a worse mood than they were when you got out there,
and then he comes back out, then you're in trouble. Um.
So my my, I was terrified that. I'm like, how
do I keep the energy up? You know, he's Garth Brooks,
you know. But it was They were awesome. There was
great crowds. But now the responsibilities on me to make
sure that people are in those seats. But what I'm
excited about is I get the opportunity to do those hits,
(29:27):
but I also get a chance to dig a little
deeper and go into some of the other songs. And
you know, um, I usually tell the band when I
have a new album coming out that we're just gonna
learn the single and don't worry about the rest of
the album. If we really something else, We'll figure it out.
But I love this album so much that I asked
the band to learn all fourteen songs for you, and
I said, We're not gonna like go out there and
throw fourteen songs on you and not do She's Love
(29:48):
the Boy. But I do like the idea of having
these songs in my back pocket. So if I want
to pull out Matador or I want to pull out
Love You Anyway or something like that, that I that
we know it and we can do it, because I
I think there I've never I don't know if I've
ever loved a body of work more than this album.
So I really do want to have the opportunity to
sing if I want to, and you'll do some let's
(30:09):
be Frank songs. It's a twenty two city tour, so
I have to ask at each stop prior to the show,
will Garth be on the parking like grilling Hamburg? But
yes he will. I haven't told him that yet, but
I think I'm gonna just have him steam my clothes. Okay,
(30:31):
how would that really go? I don't I don't think
it good. I mean, he probably don't. But I will
say this joke about that. But this is a guy
who will iron his shirts. He ironed still he irons
I have not used an iron. Yes, okay, that makes
him the perfect mass. There's so many things that are
not right about that, but and yet it's wonderful like
he really does iron and um he this morning I
(30:56):
had to get up at five thirty because I had
a really long, busy day. He did not have to
get up five dirty. When I got up, he was
up making coffee for me. He doesn't drink coffee. He
does not drink coffee, and he made you coffee and
he went back to sleep. But how can Charlie write
this stuff down? How can somebody who does who doesn't
drink coffee make good? He makes great coffee. I don't know,
(31:16):
and I don't usually trust someone who doesn't drink coffee,
and talk about between the two? Can I can I
tell her something first, as she will love? One time
I told my husband because he does nothing around the house.
And one time I told him you are going to vacuum.
I sat back in a corner and giggled for about
ten minutes. He could not figure out how to turn
(31:36):
it on. He couldn't he couldn't find the on switch
to the vacuum. It was a riding vacuum clean. Nice. Nice.
He probably knew where it was, you know. I do
like what Garth will say is, man, you were so
sexy when you're loading the dishwasher. I'm like, really, thank
(31:57):
you learning the marital tricks. So go ahead, Charlie. Well,
you're a wonderful cook. I mean we've sampled your food
on several occasions. It's always wonderful. Have you ever prepared
something that Garth didn't like and you found out in
the backyard later? No, But I will say that he
(32:17):
is very honest about about and I'll be like something
that I've discovered that thinks amazing, and I'll be like,
you need to try this. And sometimes it's really hard
to even get him to try something because he's very
set in his ways about what he likes and and
he he doesn't think he I don't think I don't
like sweet potatoes. I'm like, well, you just say a
sweeptata burger and you loved it, But I just made
I didn't tell you there a sweep tato when it
So he will do that if I kind of if
(32:39):
I kind of you know, cheating man, but if he
loves a song, if he loves a dish, he he
can't really speak. It's like, you know, the yummy sounds.
And if he doesn't love it, he won't say I
don't like it. He'll usually say well, sometimes he'll say
it's just has no taste, it's like it's missing something.
I'm like okay, or he'll say it's it's nice. Then
(33:02):
you know that's not good. He tries to be diplomatic,
and I'm usually mad at first, but then he's usually
right about it, so then I just go. Then I
get to work and start to tweak it to well.
I mean, that's how you perfect yourself, right, right, Charlie
could ticks me all the time. How close am I too? Perfect? No? Nowhere? Well,
(33:24):
the thing that the truth of the matter is she
is perfect. It's just that you'll never think she is.
And that's competition. I got to bring this up because
the man mentioned the other day about the cooking and
all this stuff. Walk the dogs. But you guys playing
Nintendo added my gaming. He's talking about your your gamer
(33:49):
and he says that you usually whoop is, but are
we actually usually play on the same team, Like we're
not you're not supposed to. But we we team up,
so we're kind of going after everybody else and our
goal is to come in first and second. We're very competitive, um,
and so it's better if we're on the same team
because if we're not, I would probably just I would
he would think it's funny. I would storm off and
(34:09):
be really angry if I don't win, because I'm very competitive.
Our game is so old that it it blinks off
and on, so you have to be really good because
it's really I mean, I need Nintendo needs to make
this version, but an updated version. This is a game, okay,
So first of all, you can't find it anywhere. I
have a backup plan, so when one starts to kind
(34:29):
of blink out, I'll put the other one in and
see if I can make it, make it work. It's
it's all very It's almost like you know when you
told your kid to go over and stand in front
the TV with the antenna, and it's kind of like that.
It's like, Okay, the game is in, it's on, don't move,
like we can't shake the game at all, and it'll
go out, so the TV will just go black and
you're you're playing and you're flying down this highway and
you're playing and the TV goes black and you pause
(34:51):
and you just sit there and wait, and then the
game blinks back up. So if you can win with
that happening, that's almost like an obstacle. Course, so sad,
and it's sad. This is what we do. That's what
we did, Charlie, she's obsessed. But what it is is
because I'm not really I never played I never played
video games. I never until I met Garth, and this
(35:12):
is the only game we play. Um. But I think
for us it's kind of end of the night, let
your mind just go and not have to think about
all the things you have going on. And it takes
us about an hour to get through all these little,
you know ones that we do. If we play the
whole game, and it's just fun and we it's a
chance to kind of just be together and we sit
in the same chair. We're we're such nerds. We're sitting
(35:34):
this big overseas chair together and we play, and uh,
it's just a chance to kind of be together in
the night and not think about anything the next day.
Set For me, it's donkey Kong, oh, is it? Well?
Do you want to go. Do you want to elaborate?
Is that your thing? Yeah? I didn't. I was kind
of past. Like my my younger friends played pac Man.
I played pac Man a little bit because I used
(35:55):
to take my clothes to a laundromat before I had
a Washington dryer, and when I moved to town and
there was a pac Man machine at the laundromat, so
I would play pac Man. But I wasn't very good
at it. I never got I never got obsessed with
any of those games. Wow, what about you, Charlie, Do
you play a game? I used to play Super Mario
a lot. Super Mario? Okay, yeah, I played Mario with
my my grandson, and we did that with our girls.
(36:16):
Our girls like that game. We played that game with
them when they were little. And I'm sick of that song.
Oh gosh, yes, So does that go with you on tour?
Does the game go with I mean, so like one?
Are the cool things you take with you on tour
that just make you happy? Um? My pillow, um, it's
the pillow is very important, not necessarily my pillow. It's
(36:38):
the pillow. It's an important pillow. Um. And and that's
really it. I mean Garth and I have really um
tried to in a fan. I take a small fan
because of the sound in the room. I used to
try to replicate it on the phone or have the
ocean sounds or whatever. I'm like, I just need a
fan blowing, So I carry a fan comforting. I do
have to have a fan blown on me. That's kind
(37:00):
it Okay, Well you are not high, mate, I'm really not.
I'm not, but I tell you you know here we
are as we speak. It's just a few days before
the actual launch of the tour, and you're going to
do a personal tour, You're gonna be doing television. I
mean you suddenly find yourself slammed. Um, I think that
(37:20):
what you expect. I think you live slammed. Well, I think, Garthen,
we're talking about this the other night. We were sitting
out on the front porch and we were looking over
downtown Nashville, and we're going, man, because I mean, I'm
about snive, he's fifty seven, and we're busier now than
we ever were, and and and it's good. I mean,
it's it's all good stuff. And we were just grateful.
(37:41):
I mean we've managed to somehow figure out how to
spend very little time apart even with us doing all
these crazy things. UM. So we um. You know, when
I go to l A next week to do some press,
he's got some stuff to do, so he'll ride along
with me. We won't we'll be doing our things during
the day, but we'll see each other at night. And
so we we just we just we've made our relationship
(38:03):
the priority, and sometimes it comes at one sacrificing and
when you're artists that you know, we're trained as artists,
it's all about me. It's really hard when you're talking
about yourself all the time to have to go, oh,
I probably should feed that guy actually might make differ
him at some point. So um. And sometimes we are
in that position now where it's like, oh, did I
(38:25):
did I tell you that I'm leaving for New York tonight?
I might have forgotten to tell you that. Um. But
we try really hard to make sure that we that's
our priority, and I think that's what makes it it works.
And we both come from uh families that made that
instilled in us. How grateful that we should be, you know,
and so I think we just that's that's the life
we leave Karena and I start to day everyday, so
(38:45):
what are you doing today? And what are we doing today?
That's a good way to kind of we kind of review.
It helps them remember crap that I forgot, you know,
and we we also plan ahead, you know, the this
has been a really busy year for both of us,
and with the tour it ends the think the eighth
of December or something like that, and I'm taking obviously
(39:06):
the holidays off. But we I said, can you block January?
And he said yeah? And he said can you and
I said yeah, So we we blocked January. And then
the next day I got a call from Food Network saying,
we want to start, you know, season sixteen to start
airing in February. Can you give us some dates in
January that worked for you? And I probably, you know,
in any other life, I would have said sure, and
(39:27):
but I said, I actually can't. I can't. I'm I'm
I can't do January. So uh, that's an example of
just like you know, and I want to do those
shows and it'll be great and we'll start in February
and everything will be find wu. So um, I think
that's an example of just trying to you know, really
guard that time because you can. You can block a
week to spend with your spouse, and then all of
(39:48):
a sudden it starts getting wheeled away on either side
and then you have nothing. So you have to just
you have to really work at it. Well. The coolest
thing is, in my opinion, is that amid all of
this whirlwind, that is your law, if you have managed
to create some of the best music of your life.
Congratulates keep for saying that. Listen, you're wonderful. You're wonderful.
(40:09):
I am. I am speaking of just like full circle
and time. It's like it's just such a delight always
to to be with you. And you're one of the
very first people that I got a chance to meet
and that was a moment for me in my career.
And for you to be so kind to me and
to my husband all these years, I mean, your your
family to us, and so I love that we're all
(40:30):
still here doing this thing and then we're doing fun
and having fun. So you see why Garth Brooks is
