an appreciation for the gospel sound,” says Richard. The Oak Ridge Boys fell in love with the way Cobb was able to capture the intimacy of a live gospel performance, he says, and they credit him with this quality as it comes through on the new Christmas album.
At some point in the show there’ s a“ rocking chair” part of the show that allows the group to simply talk to the audience, sharing Christmas memories and thoughts about what the holidays signify for them individually.“ That’ s very important to us,” Richard says.“ We want people to know what the true meaning of Christmas is.”
The Oaks’ stop in Brown County holds a special significance for Richard.“ We played the Little Nashville Opry a bunch of times,” he says, referring to the longtime country music mainstay that burned down in 2009.“ It’ ll be great to get back to Brown County and check out the new venue.”
