Oh, you can insert whatever necessary caveat you need to there. The thought is a simple one but it needs to be said: Trisha Yearwood is simply the greatest singer alive. First, when I heard Yearwood sing “I’ll Carry You Home” on the ACM Awards, and again when I listened to her duet with Garth Brooks for the first time this morning. But I want to write about them both because the same thought crossed my mind on two separate occasions now.
Neither recording will surface in even a top fifty list of my favorite tracks by Trisha Yearwood.
“Shallow” has received a level of hype and acclaim that has never made much sense to me, but it works well in the context of the film and both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga acquit themselves nicely on the recording. A nice sentiment, but nothing we haven’t heard before. “I’ll Carry You Home” covers familiar territory, expressing unconditional love and support with tried-and-true metaphors.
