NASHVILLE, Tenn – GRAMMY\u00ae Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge<\/a> Boys swing into Spring with the announcement of their new album, Front Porch Singin\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, to be released on Friday, June 11<\/strong>. This is their fourth collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer, Dave Cobb. Recorded during the pandemic, it was imperative to create a project that offers up just what the lead single details; love, light, and healing. Building anticipation for the upcoming album, the first single, \u201cLove, Light And Healing” is available to download and stream on all digital services today and is premiered exclusively by People.com<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were sitting in the studio when David Cobb walked in and asked, \u2018If you were sitting on the front porch, just singing songs you know, what might you sing?\u2019 Well, we started singing The Unclouded Day… and he said, \u2018Let\u2019s go to the microphones.\u2019 That\u2019s how this album was recorded,\u201d says Duane Allen.<\/p>\n

“I always love working with The Oaks and with this album, they\u2019ve really captured the warmest feelings of home and family,\u201d shares Dave Cobb.<\/p>\n

The Oak Ridge Boys continue to connect us all through their heartfelt lyrics and uncluttered vocals. While preparing this album, they chose some of their favorite classics as well as a couple of new ones that offer a familiar feeling to every listener. Front Porch Singin\u2019<\/em> draws optimism to both the present and the future while showcasing many of the simple things in life that may have been taken for granted until recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis title has become more of an attitude than anything else,\u201d shares Joe Bonsall. \u201cWhat if the four of us were sitting on a porch together and someone begins to sing a favorite old Gospel song, like Swing Down Chariot, or a country and western standard like Red River Valley, and everyone else just joined in? That is what happened at RCA Studio A. But, as usual under producer Dave Cobb\u2019s leadership, this album turned into so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is quite honestly one of the most heartfelt albums we have ever recorded,\u201d expresses Bonsall. \u201cIt was a bit strange to social distance from each other in the studio, but I believe it drew us all closer and in doing so we may have inadvertently recorded the perfect project for this time period. These songs, whether new or old, reflect a certain optimism and a deep-seated faith that God will work all of this out as we move forward. Life is beautiful as one song says. We must embrace it and celebrate it with all of our being.\u201d<\/p>\n
