(Translated from my original Italian text by ChatGPT and Piero Scaruffi)
Trisha Yearwood, from Monticello, Georgia, is a country singer who broke onto the Nashville scene in 1991 with the hit She's In Love With The Boy. Her self-titled debut album went double platinum.
With Hearts In Armor (MCA, 1992), which includes Wrong Side Of Memphis and You Say You Will, and The Song Remembers When, whose title track was another hit, she established herself as a savvy interpreter of songs written by others. XXXs And OOOs was the hit that launched Thinkin' About You (MCA, 1995), also a collection of songs written by her peers.

Songbook (MCA, 1997) is a career retrospective.
The hit How Do I Live, written by Diane Warren, presented a much more
compromised style, that is at the core of a disappointing album like
Where Your Road Leads (MCA, 1998), that sounds like Linda Rondstadt
in her pop stage.
Real Live Album (MCA, 2000) is a more personal statement that dispenses
with the pop ambitions and explores the singer's psyche. But only one song
(Too Bad You're No Good) truly rocks.
Inside Out (MCA, 2001) was a bit undistinguished, but it was redeemed
four years later by Jasper County (MCA, 2005), with
Karyn Rochelle's Georgia Rain and Anthony Smith's
Who Invented the Wheel.
