00:15lead singer for another successful act there's no denying that trisha yearwood is one of the
00:20biggest names in country music she rose to superstardom in the 1990s with hits like she's
00:25in love with the boy walkaway joe wrong side of memphis it's the woman before me and the song
00:31remembers when in addition to her musical talent yearwood is also one heck of a chef and a best
00:37selling cookbook author she even has a furniture collection called trisha yearwood home it's hard
00:43to imagine her being anything other than the powerhouse she is but during her recent appearance
00:48on thebo bacast she revealed that her incredible solo career almost ended when she considered
00:55taking an entirely different direction as it turns out she was one of the final contenders to be the
01:01lead singer for the band highway 101 when paulette carlson announced she was leaving as yearwood
01:07recalls after auditioning for the gig when i got home thought i don't know if they're going to offer
01:13this to me or not but i feel like if i take it i'm stepping into a successful group that no one's
01:19going to be able to beat paulette carlson or make people forget that and then i'm also kind of saying
01:24well you believed in yourself your whole life that you could be a solo artist but now you're going to
01:29give up and do this and so i sent a letter and said i'm going to take myself out of the running
01:33wow what an incredibly pivotal moment in her career and while something tells us she would
01:39have been accepted and successful as part of highway 111 year it was clearly meant to be a solo artist
01:44all along case in point she has a new album coming out on july 18th called the mirror which is available
01:51for pre-order on her website she also has tour dates scheduled in september and december for those
01:56who want to catch her live i'm sure glad she went with her gut and decided to give up her chance at
02:00the highway 101 gig obviously she made the right call
02:04you
