Golden releases a three-album project with his sons

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 Golden Classics, a three-album covers project that is now available. The set features 34 songs that were originally recorded by other artists including Tom Petty, Eagles, Janis Joplin, John Denver, Johnny Cash, Bob Seger, and others.

On Thursday (Mar 24th), we had an exclusive premiere of their version of the Kris Kristofferson-penned “Me And Bobby McGee” that was originally recorded by Janis Joplin in 1971.

Earlier this week, we chatted with Golden while he was home briefly during tour stops with the Oaks. Golden tells us how the project came about and how he and his sons, grandchildren and some friends were inspired to record during the dark days of the pandemic.
