Wild Irish Rose - George Jones - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Making his official debut in the 1950s, American singer-songwriter George Jones built one of the most successful careers in country music, with several Number 1 hit singles under his belt and an influence that spanned far beyond the genre. In 1998, he released his 55th studio album, It Don't Get Better Than This, which would be his last LP for MCA Nashville Records. Featuring guest appearances by Loretta Lynn, Trace Adkins, Johnny Paycheck, Lorrie Morgan, Merle Haggard, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Charley Pride, Bobby Bare, Patty Loveless, and Waylon Jennings, It Don't Get Better Than This contained some of the most interesting entries in his entire catalog. A great example of this is the album opener "Wild Irish Rose," an emotive country ballad about the hardships of war and its effects on the lives of veterans. Written by Bobby Braddock, the song was released as the album's lead single but failed to enter the country charts in the United States.
