The song is the latest from their upcoming Barbara album
Award-winning Old Dominion has released “Miss You Man,” the latest release off their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Barbara, out August 22nd via Sony Music Nashville.
The song was written as a tribute to a friend of the band and songwriter Andrew Dorff, who passed away in 2016. A heartfelt ballad featuring frontman Matthew Ramsey’s tender vocals, layered with steady percussion and subtly powerful guitar riffs, the track reminisces on some of the band’s favorite memories with Dorff and the lasting mark he left on their lives. “Miss You Man” captures the quiet ways we carry those we’ve lost, offering a heartfelt tribute to lasting friendship and the enduring impact of someone gone too soon. Alongside the track, the band released a new music video in Dorff’s memory.
“Some years ago, we lost our dear friend Andrew Dorff far too soon,” Ramsey states. “We play songs we’ve written with him every night on stage. When you hear our music, many times you are also hearing the voice of Andrew. There is a saying – grief is the price of love. We all experience that loss at some point and we carry that love as we go through that process, in some ways, for the rest of our lives. Miss You Man is a tribute to grief, friendship, and love.”
Barbara is a 13-track journey that blends their signature melodic, guitar-driven sound with deeper reflections on life, love, and mortality. Known for crafting unforgettable hooks, the band leans into more mature themes without losing their optimistic spirit, exploring the highs and lows of life with honesty and heart in what the band calls their “most personal album to date.”
Alongside the album, Old Dominion recently kicked off their massive How Good Is That World Tour, visiting amphitheaters and arenas nationwide throughout the summer and fall.
