September 20, 2007 — Known mostly for her ballads, Trisha Yearwood kicked it up a notch with her latest single, "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love," and she credits her husband, Garth Brooks, for her willingness to let her hair down a bit.
"Garth is such a larger-than-life performer and I'm very low key," she tells Dial-Global. "So when I toured with him in '98 — it was the first time we actually did stuff together onstage — I would go walk up on that huge, monster stage and here would be this beast — 'cause he just turns into a different guy out there. And I felt like, 'Okay, I just gotta hold my own here.'"
Trisha says it was hard for her to get up to Garth's energy level, but she learned to adapt. "Maybe that's why many people have commented, 'This sounds different. This sounds like it's got a lot of energy.' I think that if he has an influence on me, that that might be it. He's always encouraged me to just get in there and let it rip, and I think we did that."
