“A lifelong dream has finally become a reality!” shares William Lee Golden. “This 3-volume set was a true labor of love and a project that I had begun to think would never happen, but it has. Thank you to my family, friends, and everyone who has supported the Golden family over the years. I hope you enjoy “Golden Classics” as much as we enjoyed recording each album!”
As part of the excitement of the ‘Golden Classics’ release, William Lee Golden and The Goldens hosted a sold-out album release party last week at 3rd and Lindsley Bar & Grill in Nashville, Tenn. At the event sponsored by Springer Mountain Farms Chicken, the group graced the stage with performances from songs off all three new albums and was also surprised with a special plaque to commemorate the success of “Come and Dine” reaching #1 on the CDX Gospel Charts. Audience members included special guests, family, and friends including the remaining members of The Oak Ridge Boys.
The three albums, ‘Southern Accents,’ ‘Country Roads’ and ‘Old Country Church’ were recorded when Golden gathered his sons Rusty, Craig, and Chris, his grandchildren Elizabeth, Rebekah, and Elijah, and friends Aaron McCune, and Ben Isaacs to bring their fresh interpretations to longtime favorites. William Lee Golden and The Goldens deliver reminiscent renditions of Johnny Cash’s “I Still Miss Someone,” and Jim Reeves’s “Welcome to My World.” Chris shines on Tom Petty’s “Southern Accent,” while Rusty delivers a vibrant take on Bob Seger’s hit “Hollywood Nights” and Craig, the rarely heard Golden, revives Gregg Allman’s “Multi-Colored Lady.”
William Lee Golden is also set to appear on RFD-TV’s “The Rural Americans” for a special episode that dives into his upbringing and the path that led him to join The Oak Ridge Boys. Viewers will get the inside details on Golden’s unique story! The episode airs Sunday, April 3 at 9/8c on RFD-TV. For more information, visit HERE.
