Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood brought some duet magic to the Opry stage this past Saturday night (May 2) as the two performed together on the Grand Ole Opry’s 4,922nd consecutive Saturday night broadcast. The two took turns performing their own hits and backing each other vocally on favorites from other giants in country including Merle Haggard, George Strait, and Emmylou Harris, and dueting on the George Jones/Tammy Wynette classic “Golden Ring” and their own “Whiskey To Wine.” The night marked the 10th anniversary of the Opry House being flooded in the Tennessee flood of 2010.

“I just love being here,” Brooks said. “This stage holds so many memories for both of us. Thanks to the Opry for letting us be members of the greatest place on the planet. In every challenge there is an opportunity. We are together apart, and apart we are together … in country music we are a family and we will all get through this and come out stronger in the end.”

Lauren Daigle Offers New Spanish Version Of “You Say”

Lauren Daigle.

Lauren Daigle has recorded a Spanish version of her Grammy-winning, 3x Platinum hit “You Say” (“Tu Dices”) which will be followed by “Rescue” (“Rescata”) on May 15. The new version can be heard here: hyperurl.co/TuDicesRescata. “You Say” is the first single from Daigle’s 2018 Grammy-winning album, Look Up Child. The longest-running No. 1 song on the weekly Hot Christian Songs Chart at 82 weeks, the crossover hit also spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart, appeared in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Top 40 chart, and Top 5 on their Hot AC Chart.

“Music has the power to move and connect us in ways that are oftentimes hard to describe,” said Daigle. “Now more than ever we need something to bring us together and music seems like the perfect way to do that. I hope that “Tu Dices” brings everyone as much joy as I had recording it!”
