The 12-track album, Medley\u2019s first new\u00a0record in over a decade, has the legendary singer covering classic country ballads with the help of special guests. The latest release is a recording of \u201c<\/span>Crying Time<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u201d featuring The<\/strong>\u00a0Doobie Brothers<\/strong>\u2019 Michael McDonald<\/strong>. The tune was originally recorded by Ray Charles<\/strong> and written by Buck Owens<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI really love this song, and it was one that I felt that I could relate to. Being married a few times and experiencing the highs and lows and knowing when it\u2019s over \u2014 It\u2019s ‘Crying time,’\u201d Medley shares. \u201cI admire Michael and loved singing with him on this duet. Our old school roots and singing came together so easily.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBill Medley takes his rightful place alongside other great vocalists such as Ray Charles, Tony Bennett<\/strong> and Nat Cole<\/strong> in showing us a greater depth to the compositions he chooses to perform,\u201d McDonald adds. \u201cIt only takes a timelessly soulful voice to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCrying Time\u201d is available now <\/span>via digital outlets<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the third track Medley has released from <\/span>Straight from the Heart<\/span><\/em>, following \u201cThese Days\u201d featuring Vince Gill<\/strong> and \u201c(Since You\u2019ve) Gone\u201d featuring Keb\u2019 Mo\u2019<\/strong>.
