Goodbye Country is the third studio album by English electronica
duo Groove Armada

in "Suntoucher", MC M.A.D. in "Superstylin'", Tim Hutton in "Drifted", "Tuning In", and "Join Hands", Richie Havens
in "Little by Little" and "Healing", Celetia Martin in "My Friend", Rachael Brown in "Lazy Moon", and Kriminul in "Raisin' the Stakes". The Urban Soul Orchestra
