Strawberry Wine - Deana Carter - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sweet-toothed country singer Deana Carter uncorked a bottle of "Strawberry Wine" in her 1996 coming-of-age ballad. Written by Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison, "Strawberry Wine"s lighters-in-the-air chorus hints at the song's NSFW content: "Like strawberry wine and seventeen / The hot July moon saw everything / My first taste of love, oh bittersweet / The green on the vine like strawberry wine." The track was the debut single from Deana Carter's first album, Did I Shave My Legs for This? – which was certified 5× Multi-Platinum – and went all the way to Number 1 Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, also earning her Song of the Year at the 1997 CMA Awards and getting voted Song of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters Association International. The success of the track helped to pave the way for Deana Carter's future career as a musician.
