An American Journey: Over 30 Years on the Road to Memories, Music & Legend

by Joseph S. Bonsall

Nineteen-seventy-three was a watershed year for American music, because the already refined sound of the Oak Ridge Boys quartet matured into the legendary four-part harmony that set the entertainment world on fire. Gospel had enjoyed their talent for years. Now, Richard Sterban’s bottomless bass, Joe Bonsall’s distinctive tenor, Duane Allen’s resonant lead, and William Lee Golden’s soulful baritone converged and started a blaze that still burns - in stadiums, arenas, and concert halls across America. Building on their three decades’ worth of success, the group is going strong - making music, loving family, friends, and fans. Their story is inspiring and American through-and-through. Faith. Joy. Tears. Memories. Most of all, eyes ever set on the future. This collection of gorgeous photographs, sweet memories, and the Oaks’ own Joe Bonsall’s behind the scene narrative will be treasured by the group’s legion of fans. So come on, join the journey. That ol’ highway rolls on forever.

This great book by one of the members of The Oak Ridge Boys captures the history of the band, along with other humorous and touching stories throughout the years, all in a great picture book. There is quite of bit of text; not just pictures. Any fan would love this book, and I waited years to get it (my loss not getting it when it was in bookstores). This book has American pride, heart warming stories, respect for all the members that have been in the band, and just good entertaining stories.
