Bill Medley's New Country Album Straight From the Heart on LP. Featuring Songs With Michael McDonald, Shawn Colvin, Keb' Mo' and Vince Gill.

Songs on Bill Medley’s historic album with a historic voice include: “The Dance,” originally recorded by Garth Brooks; “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” originally recorded by George Jones; and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry (feat. Shawn Colvin),” originally recorded by Hank Williams.

The forthcoming 12-song collection was produced by Fred Mollin (Miley Cyrus, Billy Joel) and features guest artists Michael McDonald, Shawn Colvin, Keb’ Mo’ and Vince Gill. Mollin shares, “In the heart of Music Row in Nashville, where so many of these songs were originally recorded, the truly iconic voice of Bill Medley sat around with the current class of legendary studio musicians and one song rolled into the next. Live on the floor. The way it was meant to be.” A self-described Pop/Blues artist, Bill shares, “At its core, a pure Country ballad is the blues."

Bill Medley has one of the most iconic voices this world will ever know. As one-half of GRAMMY® Award-winning, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Righteous Brothers – a beloved and legendary duo who released songs that are part of the fabric of worldwide pop culture – Medley influenced generation upon generation of vocalists through songs such as: “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Unchained Melody,” and “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life.”

As a lover of Country music, and with a forthcoming album – Straight From the Heart - of his versions of Country mega-hits, Bill recently told his grandson, “This is who your grandpa really is.”

Kenny Rogers called Bill in 1978 and invited him to Nashville, beginning a lifetime of relationships and experiences with the Country music community, including earning an ACM Nomination for Top New Male Vocalist of the Year in 1985, after 25 years in the music business. Bill went on to open for Loretta Lynn for two months, toured with Alabama, and spent time with Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Kris Kristofferson, among many others.
