During Garth Brooks' weekly Studio G chat online with fans on Monday (2/13), he and Trisha Yearwood revealed that in 2023 their long-awaited album of duets would be released. One viewer asked if the pair might consider releasing or working on a long-awaited album of duets as part of what's shaping up to be a busy year for both of them. Trisha asked, "Want to?" Garth answered, "Well, I, of course, want to…but…" prompting Trisha to ask, "But?" That's when they subtly shared news many have waited years to hear. Brooks said, "There's already a duet record coming out this year!" Yearwood verified, "That's true!"

The couple, married for 16 years, has lent vocals to each other's songs since the earliest days of their recording careers. The couple has collaborated on duets already, including 1997's "In Another's Eyes" and more recent duets, 2020's "Shallow" and 2019's "Whiskey to Wine" and "What Gave Me Away."

Brooks told fans in January that 2023 will be his busiest year. It's a big statement coming from a guy who's filled many years of his life on the road and in the studio. He added, "There are going to be so many things happening this year."

We already know this year will find him embarking on his first-of-its-kind Las Vegas residency, "Garth Brooks/Plus ONE." Later in the year, he and Trisha Yearwood are committed to a Habitat for Humanity building project on behalf of former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. But what else does he have on tap? He does have his new downtown Nashville entertainment venue, Friends in Low Places. Brooks laughs, "This year, we get to open up, I hope."

Garth Brooks is a country superstar that can command a stadium full of people in any city he plays, even though his last stadium tour is one that he says was his last. Now with his sites set on a Las Vegas "Garth Brooks / Plus One" at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace residency for the foreseeable future, Garth is celebrating his 61st birthday today (2/7).

Brooks chatted with fans on his weekly Studio G recently (1/9). He said, "I'll tell you right now, this will be the busiest year of our career." It's a big statement coming from a guy who's filled many years of his life on the road and in the studio. He added, "There are going to be so many things happening this year."

Garth is also expecting to return to the recording studio this year. He offered, "The studio is going to be wide open this year. We're going to go in and just do a lot of things that probably never will see the light of day. But, to be honest with you, those are my favorite sessions." He added, "This'll probably be one of the heaviest years we've ever had 'cause everything's just coming around to an end or a beginning, which is cool."

We look at 30 songs that solidified his place in music history and made him one of the biggest stars to ever emerge from Nashville.
