Three volumes of Golden classics available Mar 25th
Country and Gospel Music Hall of Fame, Grand Ole Opry and The Oak Ridge Boys member William Lee Golden and his sons The Goldens have set a three album project, Golden Classics, for March 25th. The set contains Southern Accents, Country Roads and Old Country Church and features 34 songs spread across several genres that all have an impact on the lives and careers of William Lee Golden and The Goldens.
We have an exclusive premiere of their version of the Kris Kristofferson-penned “Me And Bobby McGee” that was originally recorded by Janis Joplin in 1971. The countrified version can be heard on Southern Accents.
The three albums were recorded when Golden gathered his sons Rusty, Craig, and Chris, his grandchildren Elizabeth, Rebekah, and Elijah, and friends Aaron McCune, and Ben Isaacs to bring their fresh interpretations to longtime favorites. William Lee Golden and The Goldens deliver reminiscent renditions of Johnny Cash’s “I Still Miss Someone,” and Jim Reeves’s “Welcome to My World.” Chris shines on Tom Petty’s “Southern Accent,” while Rusty delivers a vibrant take on Bob Seger’s hit “Hollywood Nights” and Craig, the rarely heard Golden, revives Gregg Allman’s “Multi-Colored Lady.”
The group hosted an album release party last week at 3rd and Lindsley Bar & Grill in Nashville. At the event sponsored by Springer Mountain Farms Chicken, the group graced the stage for an unforgettable performance and were also surprised with a special plaque to commemorate the success of “Come and Dine” reaching No. 1 on the CDX Gospel Charts.
William Lee Golden will join us to discuss the new project on The Music Universe Podcast on March 25th.
