Episode 83 – The Oak Ridge Boys

The band is prepping a new album for June

GRAMMY Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members The Oak Ridge Boys are prepping to release Front Porch Singin’ on June 11th. The album features 11 new tracks, including “Love, Light And Healing” and their latest single, “Life Is Beautiful.” The album is their fourth with producer Dave Cobb and was recorded during the pandemic.

The group — Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban — chatted with me this week via Zoom from a studio at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. Among the topics are the new album, touring, and a return to Gaylord Opryland this Christmas for a residency that everyone must see! Plus, we discuss the 40th anniversary of their iconic and multi-platinum hit “Elvira” and more.
