The Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna & Jason Michael Carroll Can Take the”IF” Out of Gift, And You Can, Too!

Cracker Barrel

For a great gift with no worries ‘if’ it will get there on time, ‘if’ it’s personal enough, or ‘if’ it’s something they can use, choose a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® digital gift card. With these electronic versions of Cracker Barrel’s traditional plastic gift cards, you can add a personal message and photo, schedule delivery right down to the day and time, and even share it socially on Facebook. And now you can add an image of the Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna Judd, or Jason Michael Carroll Cracker Barrel CD cover for the music lovers on your list.

“The Oak Ridge Boys are having lots of fun with Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards,” said Joe Bonsall of The Oak Ridge Boys. “We go to crackerbarrel.com/store/gift-cards/ and order a digital gift card. This is where the fun begins. We then add a personal photo, or select the image of our CD cover, add a message, decide how much we want the card to be worth from $10.00 to $500.00, pick a delivery date, and we’re done. Our friends get the gift of the kind of good country cookin’ that we like to eat when we visit at Cracker Barrel or they can pick out something for themselves from Cracker Barrel’s store. And when they see a picture of our CD on the gift card, it’s a gentle reminder to listen to our music or to buy our CD, It’s Only Natural, which Cracker Barrel recently released through their exclusive music program for one of their friends. I love the way this works!”

Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards with exclusive music program CD images also include Wynonna Judd and Jason Michael Carroll. Wynonna’s Love Heals CD debuted at #7 on the Billboard Magazine Top Country Albums chart in May 2010. Jason Michael Carroll’s Numbers CD was released in July 2011 with a compilation of songs about everyday life experiences, including “Alyssa Lies,” which reached #5 on the Billboard Country Chart from Carroll’s 2007 album.

Keenan Cahill and The Oak Ridge Boys Debut “What’cha Gonna Do”

For the first time ever, Keenan’s going country – and Grand Ole Opry members The Oak Ridge Boys are along for the ride. In the catchy video for The Oak Ridge Boys, “What’cha Gonna Do” Keenan and the country stars lip synch, live at the Grand Ole Opry.

This is 16-year old Keenan’s first country music collaboration of any kind, and with The Oak Ridge Boys beside him, he’s making his country music debut with one of the genre’s most venerable acts.

This is a one-of-a-kind collaboration that’s not to be missed. True to the spirit of the song, Keenan’s video with The Oak Ridge Boys is fun, hilarious, and hugely entertaining.

Were the “Oak Ridge Boys” the Lady Antebellum Of Their Time?

Lady Antebellum may have the sizzle now. But Joe Bonsall of the Oak Ridge Boys tells the Associated Press that back in the late 1970s, the Oaks “were like the Lady Antebellum” of the time.  But admists “without the pretty girl.”

Bonsall recalls “the Oak Ridge Boys were having big country hit after big country hit.” They were on “big tours with Kenny Rogers” and Bonsall remembers they “were winning all the awards.” Then when they might have thought they couldn’t get any hotter, they did. They have “Elvira” to thank. Bonsall says “Elvira” “just became a monster, monster hit song,” taking the Oak Ridge Boys “from being a major country music act at the time to a household name.”

The group just released an album called “It’s Only Natural,” through Cracker Barrel stores. It has some previous hits and some new material.
