GRAMMY® Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members The Oak Ridge Boys recently announced their upcoming album ‘Mama’s Boys,’ set for release on Friday, October 25 through Lightning Rod/Thirty Tigers. This marks their fifth collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, recorded at Nashville’s iconic RCA Studio A and Blackbird Studios. To generate excitement ahead of the release, the album's second single, "Come On Home," is now available for download and streaming on all digital platforms and premiered exclusively by American Songwriter.
“When Dave Cobb sent Come On Home to me, it just screamed out to be a William Lee Golden lead,” shares Duane Allen. “On the first listen, William Lee was crazy about this song that David Lee Murphy and Aaron Raitiere wrote specifically for our new Mama’s Boys album.”
The Oak Ridge Boys have always had a unique ability to connect with listeners through their soulful lyrics and rich harmonies and their new album, Mama’s Boys, the first featuring Ben James on tenor, is no different. They have selected songs that honor not only their own mothers, but mothers everywhere who bring life, hope, and unconditional love to the world. This album celebrates the deep influence of mothers and the other strong women who have shaped our lives. With Mama’s Boys, Cobb and The Oak Ridge Boys once again strike an emotional chord, reminding us of the enduring bond we share with the women who raised us.
