- GRAMMY® Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members The Oak Ridge Boys have announced the release of their upcoming album Mama’s Boys, set to drop on Friday, October 25 via Lightning Rod/Thirty Tigers. This album marks their fifth collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb and was recorded at Nashville’s legendary RCA Studio A and Blackbird Studios. Building anticipation for the release, the third single, "That’s The Way Mama Made It," written by Leroy Powell, David Cobb, and Duane Allen, features the newest Oak Ridge Boy, Ben James on lead vocals and is now available for download and streaming on all digital platforms, with an exclusive premiere on RFD-TV. “Leroy Powell came into the control room with parts of a song going around in his head,” shares Duane Allen. “He was almost in a writer’s trance. David Cobb and I were there early. Leroy needed help with lines and words. Very quickly, the structure of the song fell in place. I felt it should be a Ben James feature, so we recorded the tracks in a key at the top of my range. You may have heard about songs being written in Nashville, and you go right into the studio and record it. This is it!!!!” To preorder: orcd.co/mamasboys
