River Road - Crystal Gayle - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Crystal Gayle followed in the footsteps of her older sister, country icon Loretta Lynn, to carve out a music career that yielded a string of successes, including 1977 slam dunk and signature hit "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." Featured on the same album as "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," 1977 best-selling full-length We Must Believe in Magic—which was her first album to crack the UK charts and her biggest commercial triumph in the US, making it to number two on the country chart—"River Road" was written by Sylvia Fricker Tyson and depicts the flight of a young runaway. "Here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand / I'm running away down River Road / And I swear, once again that I'm never coming home," she sings. The song breached new territory in 1979 when it was sung on episode 402 of The Muppet Showby Crystal Gayle, with the furry characters also adding their own backing vocals.
