View Original Article
Not many bands that started during the 1940's are still making music, but that is not the case for the Oak Ridge Boys. At the start they called themselves the Oak Ridge Quartet, named after the Tennessee city that was part of the massive effort to develop the atomic bomb during World War II. Since then, the group has gone on to win numerous awards and record countless hits. Lead singer Joe Bonsall and tenor William Lee Golden spoke with us about the release of their newest CD It's Only Natural.

The Oak Ridge Boys ended 2011 on a high note. Their new Cracker Barrel Old Country Store exclusive album, 'It's Only Natural' came out with tremendous fan support. The Oaks celebrated the album with a whirlwind press tour, sold-out shows and standing-room only events.

Dukes of Dixieland and The Oak Ridge Boys Join for Historic Meeting in the Studio on "When Country Meets Dixie"

The idea for this rare encounter between two seemingly disparate musical forces evolved from a casual conversation between two old friends and colleagues. Television Producer/Band Manager John Shoup, who for the past 38 years has managed the New Orleans-basedDUKES of Dixieland band, happened to pose this question to impresario and starmaker Jim Halsey, who has guided the careers of such illustrious personalities as Roy Clark, Waylon Jennings, Reba McEntire, Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakum, The Judds, The Righteous Brothers and who has managed The Oak Ridge Boys since the mid '70s: "Hey, what would happen if we ever merged country with Dixie?" Halsey's response: "I don't know, let's try it."

Celebs Share New Year's Resolutions for Their Pets

LOS ANGELES—Tony La Russa would like his dog to spend more time in his lap. Bob Barker would like his rabbit to spend more time in its litter box. And Lea Michele would like her cat to spend less time in her cotton ball jar.

The Associated Press asked several celebrity pet owners about New Year's resolutions for their animals—and resolutions their pets might have for them.

La Russa, the reigning World Series champion manager, would like it if his 12-year-old Chihuahua Twiggy would jump into his lap every time he sat down. "I'd like that affectionate reassurance every time, not just sometimes," he said.

And on behalf of Twiggy, La Russa would resolve to "be the person that Twiggy wants me to be and deserves for me to be."
