The Oak Ridge Boys
Aug 22, 2011
The Oak Ridge Boys are gearing up to release their next album "It's Only Natural," exclusively through Crack Barrel Old Country Stores on September 19th. The album will celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the group's smash hit, "Elvira" with a updated-recording of the song.
"It's Only Natural" will also include six of the group's original hits such as, "Lucky Moon," "No Matter How High," and "Gonna Take a Lot of River." Six new songs will be featured including "Sacrifice...for Me," which is dedicated to America's heroes. The album is produced by Ron Chancey, who produced 'Elvira', and Michael Sykes.
Group member Joe Bonsall said, "The heart of the CD was inspired by a collection of time-honored songs, but its soul comes from the collaboration we had on this project with talented producers."
The Oak Ridge Boys have been together since 1973, and were recently inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. Both of those things helped catch the people at Crack Barrel's attention.
Marketing Manager for Cracker Barrel Stores said, "The Oak Ridge Boys' authenticity and ability to connect with multi-generational audiences make them a perfect fit with our guests and our brand. We're delighted to celebrate their 30 year anniversary of 'Elvira' and to offer our guests this special CD as part of our exclusive music program."
