(NASHVILLE, TN) – For years multitudes have praised the vocal styles of Michael English. His soulful, emotive voice wraps around a lyric and delivers a song like no one else can! That voice grabbed the attention of entertainment icon Cher recentlty and, like many celebrities in this day and time, took to Twitter to express her opinion.

On May 31, 2013, @Cher tweeted: “Just watched ‘The Last Ride’ story of Hank Williams’ last trip. “Hey Good Lookin'” was the first song my mom taught me. Michael English did a genius version of “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” It says what we’ve ALL felt. Henry Thomas & Jesse James broke my heart.”

The song appears in The Last Ride, an emotional film that tells the powerful tale of country music’s original bad boy and his final days. The man, the myth and the music come together when Williams travels from Alabama to a series of New Year’s shows in West Virginia and Ohio. This remarkable journey leads straight into the heart and soul of the legendary performer…as he takes one last shot at redemption. Featuring all-new versions of Hank Williams’ greatest songs, this emotional tale of hope and truth is one you’ll never forget.

The Last Ride was released June 4, 2013 on Blu-ray and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Entertainment and is available wherever movies are sold.

The Last Ride soundtrack was released by CURB Records and is currently in stores and available digitally on iTunes, Rhapsody and other retailers. The CD contains the performance of Michael English’s “I’m So Lonesome” as well as Benjy Gaither, Doug Anderson, Russ Taff, The Isaacs, Jett Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Wes Hampton and others.

Michael English is currently on tour with the Gaither Vocal Band and select solo dates in support of his latest CURB Records’ release Some People Change.
