NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Oak Ridge Boys have achieved many historical milestones during their Country Music Hall of Fame career, and many of those from the past decade involve their albums being sold through Cracker Barrel® Old Country Store locations across the United States. Webster Public Relations Longtime tenor singer Joe Bonsall says that finding the right mix of the past and the present is a must. “First of all, we have to find songs we’ve never recorded before and that’s always challenging. Because we’ve done so many Christmas albums over the years, there aren’t a lot of classics left. Duane (Allen) works hard to find songs, whether it’s for a regular project, a Gospel project or a Christmas project. We try to mix it up, and that’s always been our goal.” The Oak Ridge Boys began making music available at Cracker Barrel® Old Country Store with the 2011 release of their disc It’s Only Natural, which peaked at No. 16 on the Country Albums chart, also earning them their highest Billboard 200 ranking in nearly three decades. The legendary quartet also launched their entry into the culinary marketplace, The Oak Ridge Boys Favorite® Southern Style Bread ‘N’ Butter Jalapeño, at Cracker Barrel®. A perennial road favorite, the Oaks remain on tour through the end of the year, kicking off their 28th annual holiday tour on November 14 in Branson, MO. The 2017 Christmas Celebration tour, which features several songs from the new album, will take the group to 25 cities and 18 states.
