20 Songs that Made Trisha Yearwood a Country Legend

As Trisha Yearwood reminded us all in 2019, she's still one of the best currently in the game.

Trisha Yearwood's best-known songs from the '90s point back to a time when talented women got a fair shake in Nashville, allowing a wide range of listeners to discover not just the Georgia native but many of her talented peers.

Yet focusing on those halcyon days of country music tells just one part of the story. One of the best singers in the game —and one of the most glaring omissions from the Country Music Hall of Fame (though her day will surely come)— remained relevant past those early years. She's always delivered when it comes to new music. For example, she delivered most recently in 2019 with two albums: the Frank Sinatra tribute disc Let's Be Frank as well as Every Girl. The latter sounded like a vital addition to playlists at the time as opposed to an audio victory lap by a legacy artist.

Through her sustained greatness, Yearwood has become a celebrity chef and TV personality, positioning her to inspire new fans to look up her musical past.

Whether solo or with Garth Brooks as her duet partner, Yearwood's been among Nashville's most elite and most beloved talents for over 30 years.

Here's our playlist of the 12 greatest hits by a Grand Ole Opry member and multi-time CMA, ACM and Grammy award winner.
