The Oak Ridge Boys set to release eighth Christmas Album ‘Down Home Christmas’ on October 25; marks the third album collaboration with GRAMMY award winning producer Dave Cobb.

“This is a great honor for me personally,” says William Lee Golden. “I moved to Hendersonville in 1965, the same year I joined The Oak Ridge Boys. It has been my home and residence ever since. This city nurtures visionary people and is a great place to live and relax for any person that is creative. Middle Tennessee has always been a great place to live with the rivers, creeks and lakes. It is good for the spirit and for the soul.”
