Yearwood was born in the small town of Monticello, GA, in 1964 and grew up on a farm owned by her father, who also worked as a prominent local banker.
Yearwood served an internship with MTM Records and soon moved on to become an in-demand demo singer, which resulted in an up-and-coming Brooks hiring her as a backup vocalist.
Yearwood's self-titled debut album was released in 1991, and the lead single, "She's in Love With the Boy," rocketed to the top of the country charts, making her an instant star.

Her grandfather Daddy Dick Richards had one arm and played the fiddle, upright bass, and guitar and was considered a pioneer within the Northeast Region and was featured in the national magazine Adirondack Life and received a pioneer award from Necma in 2001.
