Just because you’re married to one of the best-selling recording artists in music history doesn’t mean that you don’t still have occasion to be blown away by meeting another artist, and Trisha Yearwood recently had an experience just like that. Trisha filled-in on a show for friend Emmylou Harris last month, and she didn’t know just how cool a gig it would turn out to be. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Be listening for Trisha’s new single, “PrizeFighter” featuring Kelly Clarkson — it’s set to officially hit the radio airwaves on Monday!
• Of course, Trisha is currently in the midst of an 11-show run in Chicago with hubby Garth Brooks, with additional shows this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  Trisha Yearwood talks about meeting Joan Baez. (:24)
“I just said, ‘Yeah, I’ll go do the gig.’ I didn’t even really know what it was. And it was a kind of a guitar-pull thing. And it was Patty Griffin, who I know, and Joan Baez. And so, I mean, I walked in the door and like, seriously? I’m sittin’ on the stage and tradin’ jokes and talkin’ recipes with Joan Baez! I mean, it was just the most surreal experience. I think it’s cool that those things aren’t normal to me. I don’t go, ‘Oh yeah, that’s no big deal.’ It’s a big deal.”
