Love Will Always Win GARTH BROOKS & TRISHA YEARWOOD Producer(s): Gordon Kennedy, Wayne Kirkpatrick Label: Lyric Street/MCA (CD track)
Newlyweds Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood celebrate solidarity with a sure-fire No. 1 single that is as much an event record as it is a beautiful and timeless song of devotion. "Love Will Always Win" is appreciably simple and straightforward, letting the singers' warm, familiar voices and a universal lyric about love conquering all odds lead the charge. No doubt, "Love" will become the consummate wedding anthem. The song is being stripped onto a rerelease of Yearwood's fine "Jasper County" (Feb. 7) and a new version of Brooks' Wal-Mart-exclusive "Lost Sessions" that adds six tracks. Country and AC radio, happy Valentine's Day. —Chuck Taylor
