Oak Ridge Boys Go Back Home Again with All-new Release

The Oak Ridge Boys recently released an all-new Gospel recording entitled Back Home Again (Gaither Music Group). The 12-song release, produced by Ben Isaacs (Gaither Vocal Band, The Isaacs), features an organic, "rootsy" approach to Gospel favorites new and old and finds this multi-award winning quartet back where it all began for them with faith-based lyrics and rich, four-part harmonies.

"It is a natural part of our career to continue with the music of our first love"”Gospel music, which is the foundation of our harmonies," describes Oaks' member Duane Allen. "We tried to find great songs and record them in the way they affected us when we first heard them. We poured our hearts and souls into these songs and "let them happen' with a natural approach."

Part of that process included the group's teaming up with Isaacs who stated, "The mere fact that I was able to work with legends like The Oak Ridge Boys was an honor. Falling in love with their different personalities and learning what makes them click was a blast for me. I wanted to capture the stage energy and close harmonies that they have during their live appearances on this recording. I tried to keep that "live buzz' with a ton of energy in the vocals."

Those raw, heartfelt vocals can be heard on classics such as "Why Me"; "Coat of Many Colors," the classic Dolly Parton hit; "River of Jordan"; "Standing in the Need of Prayer"; "In That Great Gettin' Up Mornin'"; the title cut, "Back Home Again," originally recorded by John Denver; and the first radio single "Lead Me to That Rock."

Back Home Again, which has an acoustic, raw feel that accentuates the group distinctive blends, has been featured in recent weeks on networks including GAC, RFD-TV, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), GRACE TV, Vision Television, Family Friendly Entertainment and CTS. The Oak Ridge Boys plan to feature songs from the release during their upcoming performance on The Grand Ole Opry, and they will be highlighting it during their upcoming appearance during CMA Fest at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN.

Back Home Again is curently available online and at retailers everywhere and is distribued by EMI CMG Distribution. For further information, visit http://www.oakridgeboys.com/ or Twitter.com/OakRidgeBoys or http://www.facebook.com/oakridgeboys.
