Bill Medley, at 84, transitions from blue-eyed soul to hardcore country with his album 'Straight from the Heart,' featuring melancholy ballads. This marks his first album in nearly 20 years, channeling his profound personal history into music. Medley's life has been marked by multiple tragedies, including the loss of loved ones and a battle with throat cancer, which he describes as terrifying. His new work includes collaborations with artists like Michael McDonald and Vince Gill, showcasing the emotional depth and resilience reflected in his aged voice, enriched by life experience.
I feel I can sing these songs, because I've lived these songs... When you get older, you've seen a lot of ups and downs. And I've had some real downs.
That was an incredibly scary thing to go through... If I lost my voice, I would be devastated.
