Trisha Yearwood Reveals 'PrizeFighter' Album Cover

Trisha Yearwood recently revealed the cover for her new album, PrizeFighter: Hit after Hit, this afternoon on social media. The project, to be released Nov. 17 on Gwendolyn Records/RCA Nashville, marks Yearwood’s first new music since 2007’s Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love. In addition to six new tracks, the album features several of Yearwood’s No. 1 hits, including “She’s In Love With The Boy” and “How Do I Live.”
“The song ‘PrizeFighter’ describes for me the fight we all fight, whatever it is. It’s the courage to get up every day and give it your best shot, no matter the odds,” Trisha said via Facebook. “For me, I learned that strength from my mama, Gwen. She went toe to toe with breast cancer, and though she lost her battle, she fought every step of the way with grace, dignity, humor, and love. She’s my prizefighter. Whatever your battle, whoever your prizefighter is, my hope is that you draw strength from this important message.
“The album’s called PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit because in life, you’re going to throw some punches and you’re going to take some, but it’s the entire fight that defines who you are. Standin’ higher…PrizeFighter!”
The album cover features the singer in a gown and tiara, sporting a pair of boxing gloves given to her by Rocky himself. A gift to the country star from Sylvester Stallone, the gloves were worn during filming of Rocky V.
