Trisha Yearwood is leaning into her songwriter side with a new album consisting entirely of songs she wrote or co-wrote — the first time in her career she’s ever released such a project.
A press release doesn’t share the title of the title of the project, but does describe it as a “songwriter album,” and offers some detail about a couple of the tracks. One of those is “Put it in a Song,” which Yearwood released last year.
Another is a song called “The Wall or the Way Over,” a track that Yearwood will perform on The Kelly Clarkson Show later this month. This song’s lyrics deal with an important question at the center of a relationship: “Will you be an obstacle in someone’s journey, or will you encourage them to rise?” the press release elaborates.
In keeping with the album’s introspective and vulnerable themes, Yearwood debuted some new music at Nashville’s The Bluebird Cafe this week, in a setlist that also included performances of fan-favorite tracks like “Walkaway Joe” and “She’s in Love With the Boy.”
“The [Bluebird Cafe] is the place where the songwriter is protected and it feels like the perfect place to be vulnerable,” Yearwood said as she shared a photo from her show. “Thanks for letting me share my songs with you.”
