Grab the tissues for this one from Garth Brooks. Performed at the Wynn Las Vegas in 2013 “The Call” is a duet between Garth and wife Trisha Yearwood. The song was written from an early point in the pair’s relationship where they had to make the choice of going for it or calling it quits. Lucky for us they stuck it out!
