The song appears on his forthcoming country album
Legendary artist Bill Medley releases his newest release “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” This is the fourth release from Medley’s forthcoming album, Straight From The Heart, available on February 21st via Curb Records. The album sees the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s unmistakable baritone voice covering mega country music ballads alongside some of the industry’s biggest stars including Michael McDonald, Vince Gill, Keb’ Mo’ and Shawn Colvin.
Originally recorded by iconic country artist George Jones, “He Stopped Loving Her Today” is a heartbreaking song of love, devotion and unending loyalty. Medley’s rendition blends country and soul, adding a new layer of emotional resonance to the country classic.
A huge fan of George Jones, Medley knew he wanted to add one of his staples to the tracklisting, sharing, “First of all I love George Jones. This song was extremely unique, and I love singing it. And a friend of mine recently passed away and had a very similar story.”
“He Stopped Loving Her Today” follows the latest releases of Medley’s highly-anticipated historic album. Previous tracks include “These Days” featuring Vince Gill, which offers a taste of the singer-songwriter’s blues roots; “(Since You’ve) Gone” featuring Keb’ Mo’, which delivers a doleful version of remorse and regret; and “Crying Time” featuring Michael McDonald, a powerful blend of soul and harmony.
In support of the album, Medley will make his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday, February 22nd. The singer-songwriter and his new partner Bucky Heard are also currently performing a residency at the South Point Casino, Las Vegas, and will be hitting the road on tour, taking fans on a nostalgic journey through the catalog of one of the greatest duos of all time.
