I Love A Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbitt - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The country music genre has long been in conversation with both pop and rock music, often borrowing elements from each other to great commercial and critical success. The 1980s especially saw a progression of country into pop radio, with a notable example being Eddie Rabbitt’s 1980 single “I Love a Rainy Night,” a song that is very much rooted in country music while also incorporating pop production and rock and roll elements (such as the guitar solo that pops up during the song’s middle 8). The song was written by Eddie Rabbitt along with Even Stevens and producer David Malloy. The lyrics describe a love for nighttime thunderstorms and the peace and quiet they provide. The song was released as the second single off Eddie Rabbitt’s 1980 album Horizon. Its poppy hooks led to it becoming a smash hit, reaching Number 1 on the Hot Country Singles, Billboard Hot 100, and Adult Contemporary Singles Charts.
