  • Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood 'Fighting' Over New Song on 'Man Against Machine'

    Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are one of music's exemplary couples — drama is typically at a minimum with these two.But the gloves appear to be off after Brooks used a song on his new "Man Against Machine" album — due tomorrow, Nov. 11 — that Yearwood coveted for her own collection."It's called 'Tacoma,'" she told The Boot. "It should be mine. It's one of those things where, usually when another artist records a song, you're like, 'OK, it's over,' but even if that's a single, if that's a big hit for him, I'm still going to record that song one day. It's my song."Brooks made "Tacoma" the final song on the new album, a spot he typically reserves for his favorite tune."I think it's just to add insult to injury," Yearwood said. "He knows how much I love it! ... We're not fighting over it, but I really do love that song, and I would love to record it myself some day."

    Garth Brooks is getting ready to release his first studio album in 13 years with "Man Against Machine," out Tuesday, Nov. 11. The singer recently stopped by "Good Morning America" to play the tender new tune "Mom."Don Sampson and Wynn Varble wrote the tear-jerker about a conversation between God and a newborn baby about to meet their mother for the first time, "Rolling Stone" notes. Brooks, along with host Robin Roberts and the rest of the audience, got a little emotional during the rendition, which is understandable. The dual threat of the singer's crisp, country voice and lyrics that pull at your heartstrings is enough to get anyone going."So hush now baby, don't you cry," Brooks sings in the video below. "'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life / Is making sure you're always going to be all right / A loving angel, tender, tough and strong / It's almost time to go and meet your mom."
