Considering the collaborative successes of Mitch Rossell with Garth Brooks, it’s really not surprising that Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood, would want a share of that action.
Yearwood told People magazine last week that she’s been “waiting patiently” for Rossell to ask her to sing on one of his records.
Her wait is over. “Ran Into You,” Rossell’s new duet with Yearwood, was released on streaming media on March 30. On March 31, the song was already No. 34 out of the top 36 in sales on iTunes country chart. Rossell co-wrote the single with Dave Turnbull and Tommy Karlas.
Rossell, a graduate of Silverdale Baptist Academy, is an independent country singer-songwriter with an innate genius for a good hook, a good turn of phrase. He wrote “Ask Me How I Know,” which Brooks released in 2017. It reached No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay and on MediaBase and was Brooks’ first chart-topper since “More Than a Memory” in 2007. Rossell also co-wrote Brooks’ hits “Dive Bar” and “All Day Long.”
Brooks asked Rossell to open his world tour in 2016.
