Legendary Group to Debut Their First Album Featuring All New Material in Three Years
The Oak Ridge Boys are scheduled to make their QVC debut Wednesday, April 29 at 7:30 PM (ET) during a special QVC Presents The Oak Ridge Boys Qsessions Live show. During the broadcast, the group will perform a selection of songs from their from their much-anticipated release ‘The Boys Are Back’ (Spring Hill Music Group/EMI), including a cover of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army,” the first cover song performed by a country artist, and the poignant “Mama’s Table.”
Shoppers will also have the opportunity to purchase the album, which has been specially-packed with a five-track bonus CD, more than two weeks before street date. ‘The Boys Are Back’ features 12 new tracks, including songs penned by ACM Award Winner Jamey Johnson, Shooter Jennings and Jack White of The White Stripes.
“We are excited to debut this critically-acclaimed release on QVC,” said Paul Sizelove, Vice President of the Spring Hill Music Group. “As a household name, The Oak Ridge Boys have enjoyed consistent television successes over the years and we feel they are a natural fit for the QVC audience.”
Produced by acclaimed pop producer Dave Cobb (Waylon Jennings, Jamey Johnson, Brooke White), ‘The Boys Are Back’ revisits familiar Oaks harmonies while injecting a new energy into their sound. The Dallas Morning News music critic Mario Tarradell has even stated that the new album “features a more stripped-down sound a la what Rick Rubin did with the late Johnny Cash.”
The Oak Ridge Boys join an impressive list of successful QVC album launches, including James Taylor, Randy Travis, LeAnn Rimes, Ray Charles and more.
‘The Boys Are Back’, packaged with special five-track bonus disc, will be available through QVC starting April 29 at 800.345.1515 or www.QVC.com.
