Straight From The Heart [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. 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 14-song collection was produced by Fred Mollin (Miley Cyrus, Billy Joel) and features guest artists Michael McDonald, Shawn Colvin, Keb' Mo', and Vince Gill, who went on to win that 1985 ACM Top New Male Vocalist of the Year for which Bill was nominated. 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 it's core, a pure Country ballad is the blues."
