The Oak Ridge Boys, one of country and gospel music’s most beloved quartets, celebrates a career full of hits and harmonies on their 2012 tour. Recently inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and featured in the swimsuit edition of Beards Illustrated, the band is basking in its sweet revival. The vigorous quaternary graces the stage in the wake of their latest album of rerecorded hits, It’s Only Natural, which is flying off Cracker Barrel shelves like caped okra thanks to its treasure trove of upbeat classics layered in twang-tinged tenor, crystalline soprano, soaring falsetto, and foghorn bass. Expect to hear famed cuts such as “Bobbie Sue,” “American Made,” and the country-pop sensation “Elvira” delivered with gusto that can only be achieved by swimming in pools with alien cocoons.
