Classic Country Medley - Michael English - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Irish country grandee Michael English achieved his big break with "The Nearest to Perfect" in 1999, which ultimately led to a record deal with Ritz Records and the Best International Entertainer prize at at the Irish National Entertainers Awards ceremony. Logging a string of albums and singles over the next two decades—including 2012's statement-making effort This Is Michael English—he emerged in 2023 with this "Classic Country Medley," a joyous fusion of golden oldies and universally loved treasures that time travels back through the decades. Kicking off with "Act Naturally"—written by Johnny Russell and made famous by Buck Owens in 1963—the medley moves over to 1961 weepie "Sea of Heartbreak" before rounding things off with a 1971 favourite, "Me and Bobby McGee"—as immortalised by the late, great Janis Joplin—and eventually ending up in the 1950s with 1958 country chart-topper "Oh Lonesome Me."
