Country Music Legends The OAK RIDGE BOYS Release New Album 17TH AVENUE REVIVAL Today

Country Music Hall of Fame members, Grand Ole Opry members, and five-time GRAMMY winning group, The Oak Ridge Boys, celebrate the release of their Lightning Rod Records project 17th Avenue Revival, produced by critically-acclaimed producer Dave Cobb.

"Having been in The Oak Ridge Boys for almost 52 years," says Duane Allen, "it can be difficult for me to imagine a place where we have not been. However, Dave Cobb had that vision, and the result is 17th Avenue Revival."

For the new project, Cobb's vision for the group was to dig way back into their roots of gospel music. But a different kind of gospel. One that took a hard look at the early days of rock and roll, which was influenced by spiritual, or black gospel.

The Oak Ridge Boys, who have sold over 41 million units worldwide, are synonymous with "America, apple pie, baseball, pop, rock, gospel and country music." In addition to their awards and accolades in the country and pop music fields, they have garnered five GRAMMY® Awards and nine GMA DOVE Awards as well as the Mainstream Artist of the Year Award at the ICM Awards. The group-Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban-have earned prestigious membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame (2015 Inductees) and Grand Ole Opry, and are known worldwide as one of recording history's most extraordinary musical successes. They have charted single after single and album after album, celebrating two double-platinum albums and more than 30 Top 10 hits, including No. 1 chart-toppers "Elvira," "Bobbie Sue," "Thank God For Kids," "American Made," "Y'All Come Back Saloon," among dozens more.
