NASHVILLE, Tenn. – GRAMMY® Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members The Oak Ridge Boys are excited to announce their new album, Mama’s Boys from Lightning Rod/Thirty Tigers, set for release on Friday, October 25. This project marks their fifth collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb and was recorded at Historic RCA Studio A and Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. To build anticipation for the album, the first single, “I Thought About You, Lord,” featuring Willie Nelson, is available for download and streaming on all digital platforms today and has been premiered exclusively by Whiskey Riff!
“When David Cobb played, “I Thought About You, Lord”, written by Willie Nelson, I felt I was listening to a masterpiece,”shares Duane Allen. “I thought Willie has recorded with just about everyone but us. So, I called Buddy Cannon, who had recently been producing Willie, to see if Willie would sing his song with us. He replied that he would be honored to sing with the Oaks. When Willie’s vocals were finished, the masterpiece was completed!”
The Oak Ridge Boys have always had a special way of connecting with listeners through their heartfelt lyrics and pure, harmonious vocals. In their new album, Mama’s Boys, their first with Ben James singing tenor, they’ve chosen songs that pay tribute not just to their own mothers, but to mothers everywhere who give us life, hope, and unwavering love. This album is a celebration of the profound impact that mothers have, offering a musical homage to the love and strength that shape our lives. Through Mama’s Boys, Cobb and The Oak Ridge Boys continue to touch our hearts, reminding us of the timeless bond we share with the women who raised us.
