Beautiful Star of Bethlehem - The Judds - MP3 instrumental karaoke

For a traditional offering of Christmas-themed country-folk, look no further than "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" by The Judds. "Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem / Shining far through shadows dimmed / Giving the light for those who long have gone / Guiding the wise men on their way / Unto the place where Jesus lay / Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on," opens the idyllic and bucolic-sounding song, which was featured on the country duo's fourth studio album, Christmas Time with The Judds, released in November 1987 on Curb and RCA Nashville and yielding nine holiday-ready tracks – including covers and renditions of "Silver Bells," "Winter Wonderland," "Away in a Manger" and "O Holy Night" – that would be re-released in subsequent decades. "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" has also been recorded by Emmylou Harris (1979), Patty Loveless (2002) and other country artists.
