Before he copped the CMA Entertainer of the Year Award last night (Nov. 2), Garth Brooks performed a medley of noteworthy duets with wife Trisha Yearwood, including “Jackson,” ‘Chug-a-Lug,” “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” “(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden,” “Don’t Close Your Eyes” and “Golden Ring.”
On Monday (Oct. 31), Garth told NCD: “I’m performing with the Queen, so know that we’ll be paying tribute to the greatest duets ever, so you’ll probably hear a little Johnny [Cash] and June [Carter Cash], a little Loretta [Lynn] and Conway [Twitty], and, for sure, if you’re going to do duets, you gotta hear [Tammy] Wynette and [George] Jones.”
Garth lived up to his word, covering the entire aforementioned troupe with Trisha, as well as tunes from Crystal Gayle, Lynn Anderson, Roger Miller and Keith Whitley.
