Oak Ridge Boys announce new CD
At a listening event during Americana Music Association AmericanaFest at Nashville's RCA Studio A, where the album was recorded, the group performed songs from the yet-untitled project recorded with multi-award winning producer Cobb. This is the group's second project with Cobb, who produced "The Boys Are Back" in 2009.
Cobb's vision for the Oaks was to dig way back into the early days of rock and roll, which was influenced by spiritual or black gospel.
The album will be released by Lightning Rod Records and distributed by Thirty Tigers.
According to Logan Rogers, founder of Lightning Rod Records, "Everyone has heard the Boys sing gospel, but nobody has heard it quite like this. Under Dave Cobb's direction, they touch on unchartered territory, and for a long-tenured act like The Oak Ridge Boys, that's saying something."

With a group history that spans over 50 years, gospel and country music mainstays The Oak Ridge Boys are at a place when they could conceivably rest on their laurels, release a few greatest hits records and coast the rest of the way through their careers, and fans would still be pleased. Yet, this quartet is not content to rest. Calling once again upon producer Dave Cobb, who helped to press new energy into the group's career in 2009 with "The Boys Are Back," The Oak Ridge Boys have ...
It's hard not to love the Oak Ridge Boys. They are American music icons with a history dating back to the mid part of the last century. The current foursome - Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen, Richard Sturban and William Lee Golden - have made music together, with the exception of Golden's temporary departure a few years back, for decades.
