Old Dominion's Ramsey releases holiday song
"I wrote this song because I needed it," Ramsey posted on Twitter. "After I posted it the other day, the responses made me realize other people felt the same. I am excited to release it tonight at midnight! Proceeds of this song will go to The My Hometown Fund." The Fund is part of Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia or Roanoke, Va.
"I created this fund to help support rural communities like the one I grew up in. By working with non-profit organizations, we are able to bring music, art, and basic needs to areas where such opportunities are hard to come by."
The song is the only Christmas song that Ramsey has ever written. He performed it in a social show several weeks ago.
The song includes the line "putting aside our differences and share a little cheer" in a coming together type of song.

Either way you're in for a treat, especially on this eight-song EP "Memory Lane." Hooks, harmonies, rhythms and feel-good images are everywhere here.
Old Dominion (name chosen because four band members are from Virginia) originally formed to highlight songs that the ...
Old Dominion has gained a following on the heels of two albums of lively material. Their self-titled third release stays the course and delivers a dozen radio-friendly songs. The hyper positive lead single "Make it Sweet" sets the stage with an ode to the brighter side of everything. Most tracks are upbeat but, ironically, there is not an official party anthem or even a drinking song. The closest they get is "American Style," which is laden with standard innocent imagery ...
Right off the bat, the title of Old Dominion's album "Happy Endings" is far better than "Meat and Candy," its prior effort. ("Meat" in an album title? Really?) But also on an artistic level, OD's follow-up shows signs of growth.
