Trisha Yearwood signs with Nashville indie

By Ken Tucker 1 hour, 45 minutes ago

NASHVILLE (Billboard) - After 16 years with MCA Nashville, country star

Trisha Yearwood is signing with an independent label.

Yearwood will record for Big Machine Records, a nascent label whose other acts include Taylor Swift and

Jack Ingram.

Big Machine founder, president and CEO Scott Borchetta worked with Yearwood during some of her most successful years at MCA.

Yearwood has been with MCA since she debuted on the charts in 1991. Her first single, "She's In Love With The Boy," spent two weeks at No. 1 on the airplay chart. Over the last 16 years, Yearwood has scored 19 top 10 singles including five No. 1s. Her most recent No. 1 came in 1998 and her last top 5 was in 2001.

She has sold 9.8 million albums in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. Her most recent album, "Jasper County," sold 472,000 copies.

MCA is scheduled to release a greatest hits package on Yearwood later this year. Yearwood's first studio record since 2005 will be released on Big Machine Records in early 2008.

Big Machine, which launched in September 2005, is distributed by Universal, MCA Nashville's parent company.
