The first single, “I Thought About You, Lord,” featuring Willie Nelson, is available now on all digital platforms, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Preorder the album here.
A Masterpiece in the Making
Duane Allen of The Oak Ridge Boys shared the inspiration behind their collaboration with Willie Nelson: “When David Cobb played, ‘I Thought About You, Lord,’ written by Willie Nelson, I felt I was listening to a masterpiece. I thought Willie has recorded with just about everyone but us. So, I called Buddy Cannon, who had recently been producing Willie, to see if Willie would sing his song with us. He replied that he would be honored to sing with the Oaks. When Willie’s vocals were finished, the masterpiece was completed!”
