The Oak Ridge Boys Release "Amazing Grace," Ahead of their New Album "Down Home Christmas"
GRAMMY® Award winners, The Oak Ridge Boys, have released their brand new single "Amazing Grace," ahead of their new album Down Home Christmas. Produced by Dave Cobb, the album will be released by Lightning Rod Records/Thirty Tigers on October 25, 2019.
"Down Home Christmas began much like the other seven Christmas albums we have recorded. But things changed. Most of the songs I had collected were put on the shelf, and we started looking for songs that addressed specific subjects related to Christmas," says The Oaks' Duane Allen. "Dave Cobb was the producer/coach/motivator for this project. He encouraged us to dig a little deeper into our souls, to capture the magic of each song. With very simple instrumentation, the four Oak Ridge Boys' voices are out front, and in your face, with the awesome, huge sound of RCA Studio A wrapped around, but not over-powering it."
"Down Home Christmas is a project that we are happy to share with the world and, rest assured, you will hear these songs on our upcoming 30th annual Christmas tour," says Joe Bonsall. "The instrumentation is sparse, yet incredibly put together, and the vocals are rich and vibrant. Many of the songs were freshly written by a stable of Nashville's top songwriters."
Down Home Christmas marks the Oaks' eighth Christmas album, and third album collaboration with producer Dave Cobb.

The group-Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban-are best known for their iconic and multi-platinum hit "Elvira," along with other chart-toppers like "Bobbie Sue," "Thank God For Kids," "Y'All Come Back Saloon," and "American Made." The Oak Ridge Boys have achieved a decorated career, winning five GRAMMY® Awards, multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their crossover brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations. The Oak Ridge Boys became members of the Grand Ole Opry in 2011 and achieved arguably country music's highest honor in October 2015 when they were inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
