Even with all of the great new country artists and all of their great new music, people still gravitate to the old country favorites when they sing karaoke. This is mainly because they still love the old songs, but also probably because they have heard them so many times they know them backward and forward.
It’s always easier to sing songs that you know very well as opposed to a new song that you can’t remember as good. Good karaoke singers know that practice does make perfect, so sometimes it’s better to stick with an oldie but goodie, especially if you are fairly new to karaoke. The list below is some of the tried and true oldies that both men and women still love to sing!
