LIKE WISDOM AND LETTING THAT STUFF GO THAT’S SO FREEING AND
WONDERFUL.
WONDERFUL. >> ALWAYS SO GREAT TO HAVE
TRISHA HERE, SO MUCH FUN.
THE TOUR STARTS IN OCTOBER.
THIS COLLECTION OF SONGS ON THE
RECORD IS THE FIRST TIME YOU’VE
WRITTEN AN ORIGINAL SONG SINCE
LIKE OVER TEN YEARS.
>> THE FIRST ORIGINAL COUNTRY
RECORD I’VE DONE IN OVER TEN
YEARS.
YEARS. I DIDN’T MEAN FOR THAT TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. YOU SAW THERE, I HAVE SOME OTHER
JOBS.
JOBS. IT KIND OF ALIGNED.
BUT MUSIC IS WHAT FEEDS MY SOUL.
IT’S REALLY MY FIRST LOVE AND I
CAN’T IMAGINE NOT DOING IT.
I WON’T LET TEN YEARS GO BY, FOR
SURE.
SURE. >> YOU’VE GOT GREAT
COLLABORATIONS ON THIS ALBUM,
KELLY CLARKSON AND YOUR HUSBAND,
GARTH BROOKS.
GARTH BROOKS. HOW IS IT TO COLLABORATE WITH
HIM?
HIM? >> WHEN YOU LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH
ONE OF THE BEST SELLING ARTISTS
OF ALL TIME IN THE HISTORY OF
MUSIC, THEY GIVE YOU GOOD
ADVICE.
ADVICE. PEOPLE ASSUME HE’LL DO WHAT I
ASK HIM, AND HE WILL.
BUT THE SONG IS ABOUT THE PERSON
WHO HAS YOUR NUMBER.
HE’S GOT MY NUMBER.
>> GET IN THE BOOTH AND DO THE
TRACK AGAIN.
TRACK AGAIN. >> OF COURSE.
>> WHEN YOU GUYS GOT MARRIED YOU
TOOK A VOW, OF COURSE, BUT ALSO
TO NEVER BE APART FOR TOO LONG
SO YOU ALL TRAVEL ON TOUR
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> AND, IN FACT, YOU’RE FAMOUS
FOR YOUR TRISHA’S TAILGATE,
WHICH YOU BROUGHT US.
>> IT’S EARLY FOR WHISKY.
IT’S CALLED PORCH PUNCH, A
SOUTHERN THING, IT WILL SNEAK UP
ON YOU.
ON YOU. >> LOVE IT.
>> TRISHA, WHEN WE HEARD YOU
WERE COMING WE DID A LITTLE
RESEARCH.
RESEARCH. GOT OUR HANDS ON A JOB
APPLICATION THAT YOU FILLED OUT
IN 1986.
IN 1986. >> OH, MY GOSH.
>> PROBABLY DON’T REMEMBER THIS.
>> I DO REMEMBER IT.
>> THE HALL OF FAME MUSEUM IN
THE SECTION WHERE YOU WERE ASKED
TO DESCRIBE YOUR SPECIAL SKILLS
OR TRAINING.
OR TRAINING. THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID.
SINCE MY ULTIMATE CAREER GOAL IS
TO BE AN ENTERTAINER I LIKE TO
BE AROUND PEOPLE AND I THINK
THAT QUALITY WILL HELP ME GET
THIS JOB.
THIS JOB. >> YES, I GOT THE JOB.
>> YOU WERE A TOUR GUIDE.
>> MINIMUM WAGE TOUR GUIDE.
>> AT THE COUNTRY HALL OF FAME
MUSEUM.
MUSEUM. >> YES.
>> YES. >> WHERE YOU ARE NOW 30 YEARS
LATER, YOU THINK WHAT?
>> WHEN YOU SAID 30 YEARS, I’M
LIKE, WOW, IT’S GONE BY SO
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. IT’S ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO.
I WAS RAISED BY SUCH WONDERFUL
PARENTS WHO MADE ME BELIEVE THAT
EVERY STEP, NO MATTER WHAT IT
WAS, WAS HEADING IN THAT
DIRECTION.
DIRECTION. SO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A MINIMUM
WAGE JOB AS A TOUR GUIDE IT WAS
IN THE TOWN I WANTED TO BE IN,
THE MUSIC I WANTED TO BE MADE
WAS BEING MADE.
IT WAS A LITTLE STEP TOWARD THE
GOAL.
GOAL. EXACTLY.
EXACTLY. >> WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE LIKE TO
GO BACK TO NASHVILLE AND TOUR
THERE AFTER YOU STARTED THERE?
>> IT’S REALLY INTERESTING, ONE
OF THE GIRLS I WAS TOUR GUIDE
WITH, SHE STAYED AND BASICALLY
RUNS THE PLACE NOW.
SHE HAS THE KEYS TO THE
BUILDING.
BUILDING. WHEN I GO THERE FOR ANYTHING I
SEE HER AND I’M LIKE, WOW, WE
BOTH DID OKAY.
>> 20 CITY TOUR IN OCTOBER, YOU
PICKED THE CITIES.
HOMETOWN IN GEORGIA TOO?
>> I’M GOING TO MONTICELLO,
GEORGIA.
GEORGIA. IT’S A VERY SMALL TOWN.
THEY PAINT YOUR NAME IN THE
WINDOWS AND ALL THE STORES AND
SAY WELCOME HOME.
IT’S A FAMILY.
YOU KNOW, SO I’M REALLY HONORED
TO GO BACK AND START THIS
JOURNEY BACK WITH THEM AGAIN.
>> WILL GARTH BE ON TOUR WITH
YOU TOO, STARTING THE GARTH
TAILGATE?
TAILGATE? >> HE’LL BE IN THE PARKING LOT
FLIPPING BURGERS.
FLIPPING BURGERS. HE MIGHT BE STEAMING MY CLOTHES.
WE DON’T KNOW YET.
>> CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL.
TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN, 15th
SEASON.
SEASON. >> SO GOOD.
>> TV SHOWS DON’T LAST 15
SEASONS.
SEASONS. >> YOU KNOW WHAT, WE AREN’T
SCRIPTED.
SCRIPTED. WE DON’T -- WE LAUGH A LOT.
WE McMISTAKES AND WE SHOW OUR
MISTAKES.
MISTAKES. AND I’M A COOK.
SO I THINK MOST PEOPLE COOK LIKE
I DO AND I THINK IT’S REALLY A
REAL SHOW.
REAL SHOW. >> HOW DO YOU COOK ON THE ROAD?
>> NOT SO MUCH.
>> DO YOU MISS IT?
>> I DO.
>> I DO. I LIKE TO COOK.
IT’S VERY RELAXING FOR ME.
GARTH MAKES THE CATERERS COOK
OUT OF MY COOK BOOKS.
IT’S EMBARRASSING, IT’S LIKE
TRISHA’S WHATEVER.
TRISHA’S WHATEVER. DID WE MAKE IT RIGHT?
IT’S FINE, IT’S OKAY.
>> HOW DO YOU HAVE TIME?
>> BALANCE SOMETIMES MEANS YOU
DON’T DO EVERYTHING WELL AT
ONCE.
ONCE. SOMETHING AT THE FOREFRONT AND
SOMETHING ELSE SUFFERS.
YOU HAVE TO PICK AND CHOOSE.
RIGHT NOW IT’S ALL MUSIC AND I
