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.
Check out the clip below of Garth and Trisha harnessing their inner Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash on “Jackson.”
