Everything’s coming up “new” for Trisha Yearwood! On the heels of the start of a new tour, she’s announced the release of her long-awaited new album!

The Mirror – the first album of Trisha’s career where she co-wrote every song (while also co-producing) – will be available everywhere July 18. Two songs – “The Wall or the Way Over” and “Bringing the Angels” – are available now as a taste of what’s to come…and the album is available for pre-order in digital, CD, vinyl and limited edition custom color vinyl form!

When fans watch Garth Brooks get inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame on Saturday night – it will be a family affair.

ACL inducted Trisha Yearwood alongside John Prine last year. 

"Early in my career, I remember walking into the ACL studio, seeing that skyline in person, taking 'that' stage, I was just in awe!" she said. "I'm so glad that my country music journey led me through Austin!”

When Garth Brooks needed to hire a fiddle player in 1992, he found an Oklahoma native just like himself to rosin up his bow and lead the band. More than 30 years later, Dave Gant is still getting the job done –although he ceded most fiddlin' duties to Jimmy Mattingly years ago. He spends most of his time on keyboards.

"Austin City Limits Hall of Fame Honors Garth Brooks" will air at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on Saturday, May 3.

Garth Brooks surprised 85,000 country music fans in Indio, California, Sunday night when he nonchalantly strolled on stage during Luke Combs' closing set at Stagecoach.

Combs had hinted he might have an artist pop out to help him close the show, but fans were nearly dumbstruck when Garth jumped in and took over Combs' cover of "Friends in Low Places.”
