We’re thrilled to announce that we will be recording two new album projects with Dave Cobb<\/strong>! The first is a new Christmas album to be released in October 2019. The second will release in 2020.<\/p>\n

This year marks the tenth anniversary of our first collaboration with Dave. The Boys Are Back<\/strong> <\/em>album <\/em>was released in May 2009. And our second project with Dave, 17th Avenue Revival<\/strong><\/em>, released in March 2018. We will once again be working with the Lightning Rod Records\/Thirty Tigers team.<\/p>\n

Duane, who is working closely with Dave in the pre-production of the projects, says, “Dave has the unique ability to record in a raw, honest, almost retro way that sounds fresh… and the results are pure magic.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

There is much to elaborate on the current status of the Oak Ridge Boys, who are in the prime of their career right now. Many people think that the apogee of their tenure in Country Music was in the 1980’s, but I digress. Right now they sound and release music that stands out among the Legends of Country Music whom are still with us now.<\/p>\n

Id’ like to release a few official press releases from their camp, that wound up in my email box recently. i shall of course follow this all up with live coverage as I can catch up with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASHVILLE, Tenn.<\/strong> \u2013 GRAMMY\u00ae Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge Boys, will once again celebrate the Christmas season with their timeless hits and holiday classics on their 2019 Down Home Christmas Tour<\/em>. The Oak Ridge Boys will perform over thirty-one concerts and are set to kick-off on November 13th in Branson, Missouri, playing in 28 cities and 14 states across the U.S. In conjunction with the tour, the Oaks’ latest Christmas album,Down Home Christmas<\/em>, produced by Dave Cobb, will be released by Lightning Rod Records\/Thirty Tigers on October 25, 2019.<\/p>\n

Each year The Oak Ridge Boys travel all over the United States spreading Christmas cheer by performing Christmas classics, new favorites and many of the hits that shaped the career of this legendary group. The Oak Ridge Boys’ set list will take audiences on a hit-filled musical journey of holiday cheer from the group’s seven best-selling Christmas albums, along with songs from the new Down Home Christmas Album, which includes standards such as “Amazing Grace” and “Silent Night,” but also new favorites such as “Don’t Go Pullin’ On Santa Claus Beard” written by Americana hit-maker Anderson East and “South Alabama Christmas,” written by Jamey Johnson.<\/p>\n

“Down Home Christmas began much like the other seven Christmas albums we have recorded. But things changed. Most of the songs I had collected were put on the shelf, and we started looking for songs that addressed specific subjects related to Christmas,” says The Oaks’ Duane Allen. “Dave Cobb was the producer\/coach\/motivator for this project. He encouraged us to dig a little deeper into our souls, to capture the magic of each song. With very simple instrumentation, the four Oak Ridge Boys’ voices are out front, and in your face, with the awesome, huge sound of RCA Studio A wrapped around, but not over-powering it.”<\/p>\n

“Down Home Christmas is a project that we are happy to share with the world and, rest assured, you will hear these songs on our upcoming 30th annual Christmas tour,” says Joe Bonsall. “The instrumentation is sparse, yet incredibly put together, and the vocals are rich and vibrant. Many of the songs were freshly written by a stable of Nashville\u2019s top songwriters.”<\/p>\n

Down Home Christmas<\/em> marks the Oaks’ 30th annual Christmas tour, eighth Christmas album, and third album collaboration with producer Dave Cobb.<\/p>\n
