The Oak Ridge Boys Front Porch Singin' [Records & LPs]
Barcode: 787790341154
Grammy Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge Boys deliver their fourth collaboration with super producer, Dave Cobb! Recorded during the pandemic, it was imperative to create a project that offers up just what the lead single details; love, light, and healing. "We were sitting in the studio when David Cobb walked in and asked, 'If you were sitting on the front porch, just singing songs you know, what might you sing?' Well, we started singing The Unclouded Day... and he said, 'Let's go to the microphones.' That's how this album was recorded," says Duane Allen. "I always love working with The Oaks and with this album, they've really captured the warmest feelings of home and family," shares Cobb. The Oak Ridge Boys continue to connect us all through their heartfelt lyrics and uncluttered vocals. While preparing this album, they chose some of their favorite classics as well as a couple of new ones that offer a familiar feeling to every listener. Front Porch Singin' draws optimism to both the present and the future while showcasing many of the simple things in life that may have been taken for granted until recently. "This title has become more of an attitude than anything else," shares Joe Bonsall. "What if the four of us were sitting on a porch together and someone begins to sing a favorite old Gospel song, like Swing Down Chariot, or a country and western standard like Red River Valley, and everyone else just joined in? That is what happened at RCA Studio A. But, as usual under producer Dave Cobb's leadership, this album turned into so much more."
