After the past four-plus decades that William Lee Golden, Duane Allen, Richard Sterban, and Joe Bonsall have carved out a Country Music Hall of Fame career as The Oak Ridge Boys, their careers as recording artists and on the road remain as hot as ever.
However, that heat is nothing compared to the introduction of the brand new The Oak Ridge Boys Favorite Southern Style Bread N Butter Jalapeños. Available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, the pickles are made with a combination of jalapenos and onions that – just like the music of the Oaks – will leave fans wanting more.
We caught up with Duane Allen and got a little inside info on the new Christmas Album, Christmas Tour and the The Oak Ridge Boys Favorite Southern Style Bread N Butter Jalapeños
Continuing with the Oaks’ love of all things Red, White, and Blue, The Oak Ridge Boys Favorite Southern Style Bread N Butter Jalapeños are made in the U.S.A. with no artificial ingredients, colors, flavors, or preservatives. For the quartet’s Joe Bonsall, the product hits the right spot.
“I've spent a good part of my life looking for ways to make a better burrito... great cheese... great salsa... a nice tortilla... and now, withThe Oak Ridge Boys Favorite Bread and Butter Jalapeños, the search is over! With this stuff I can make the best burrito in the world... and I mean THE WORLD,” he says with his trademark enthusiasm. “I am now addicted to this stuff.”
Duane Allen agrees with Joe’s assessment, saying “The Oak Ridge Boys Favorite Southern Style Bread & Butter Jalapenos are great by themselves or can spice up any dish or sandwich.”
The Oak Ridge Boys Favorite Southern Style Bread & Butter Jalapenos are now available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores across the United States.
Every year, a man with a white beard goes city to city giving the gift of Christmas joy, and his name is… William Lee Golden (were you expecting someone else?). For 27 years now, Country Music Hall of Fame members The Oak Ridge Boys have been a part of their fans' holiday seasons with their annual Christmas tour. This year, the award-winning group will play to packed houses across America during the 2016 Christmas Celebration tour, which will take the group to two-dozen cities in 16 states, from the East to West Coast, November 1 through December 22 (see schedule below).
A mixture of traditional and contemporary songs—including religious, romantic and fun holiday tunes—makes up the set list, which includes songs from the Oaks’ six bestselling Christmas CDs. A highlight of the evening is the much-loved ‘rocking chair’ segment where each BOY rocks by the fireplace and shares personal thoughts about Christmas.
Oaks’ lead singer, Duane Allen, says, “Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the positive things about the season.... the joy, happiness, giving, sharing, time with family, and gifts. The beautiful lights and decorations. Christmas music. Special food. And most of all the true meaning, which, of course, is celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
“Every year I look forward to taking our Christmas tour all over the USA. I hope everyone will come out this year and celebrate Christmas with The Oak Ridge Boys.”
Known for their iconic and multi-platinum selling hit “Elvira,” along with other chart-toppers like “Bobbie Sue,” “Thank God For Kids,” and “Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight,” The Oak Ridge Boys have achieved a decorated career, winning five GRAMMY® Awards, and multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their cross-over brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations. Made up of members Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban, whose unmistakable bass on the lyric “oom poppa, mow mow,” has become one of music’s most recognized sing-alongs on an international scale, The Oak Ridge Boys are members of the Grand Ole Opry and achieved arguably country music’s highest honor in October 2015 when they were inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
