Her debut single, "She's in Love with the Boy,” put Yearwood on the map in 1991. Yearwood followed that up with another major chart-topping hit in 1992, sending her country career skyrocketing.
That song was none other than “Walkaway Joe” from her second album Hearts In Armor. It landed at #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and #2 on Canada's RPM Country Tracks.
There’s no question that “Walkaway Joe” is one of Yearwood’s most popular and most memorable songs. However, it almost wasn’t hers.
“Walkaway Joe was one of those songs that the Judds actually had on hold. And then the Judds went through that breakup because Naomi was ill and they disbanded, basically, and Wynonna was getting ready to embark on a solo career. So all of the songs the Judds had on hold went back into the pool, and 'Walkaway Joe' is one of those songs,” Yearwood told Apple Music’s Nick Hoffman.
“I ended up meeting him and I am not a bold person, but I boldly asked him if he would, because he said he liked my music. I’m like, ‘Cool. Would you like to come sing on my record?’ And he did, and that kind of was, I think that was the thing that made it. You know, kind of took it over the top,” she expressed in the same interview.
In 2021, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Yearwood had the chance to speak with McConaughey about his part in the video for the first time in 30 years. The Wedding Planner star fondly looked back on how music videos used to tell a story, and that’s what the one for “Walkaway Joe” did.
Such star power in one song and video that would not have happened if The Judds had recorded “Walkaway Joe” instead of Trisha Yearwood.
