“TRISHA YEARWOOD WAS THE DIFFERENCE”

Garth and Trisha’s Love Story Unfolds in The Anthology, Part IV: Going Home

The Anthology, Part IV: Going Home is the most personal installment in the anthology series because it details not only how Garth raised his daughters, but also how they welcomed Trisha Yearwood to the family.  

From Trisha’s first visit to the little yellow house, which Garth described during his sitdown with Jimmy Kimmel last week, to her decision to limit her touring dates so that she could spend more time in Oklahoma, Garth and Trisha’s love story unfolds through their recollections, family photos, and stories from family and friends.

“So much changed. So much. When Trisha got there, the adventure had really begun,” Garth says.

“At first it was, ‘What am I going to do with these girls?’ As time went on, it was, ‘What am I going to do without them?’” Trisha recalls.

While Garth’s proposal to Trisha at Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace is well known, (the life-size bronze statue of Garth that inspired the proposal is at Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk), Going Home describes the little-known details of Garth’s intricate plans to pull off the perfect surprise. Included in this collection are photos from Garth and Trisha’s December 2005 wedding at home in Oklahoma, during which the girls and Trisha also exchanged vows.

Memories, milestones, and music—including 182 photos and six discs with songs from this time in Garth’s career—are all contained in The Anthology, Part IV: Going Home, available now at  TalkShopLive and Amazon.  The Limited Edition, wrapped in a beautiful slipcase, is available for pre-order from TalkShopLive and will ship on February 1, 2025.  TalkShopLive also offers a 3-pack for holiday gift-giving and a bundle including Parts I, II, and III to complete your Anthology collection.
