Oak Ridge Boys’ William Lee Golden Releases Photography Book “Golden Memories”

William Lee Golden joined us to talk about his farming roots, his storied career with the Oak Ridge Boys, and how his new book and music continue to reflect the values that have guided him throughout his life and career.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD NEWS) — Country music legend William Lee Golden, a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry, joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss his latest creative project — a new picture book featuring a personal collection of photographs captured during his travels around the world.

Golden, who has been a member of The Oak Ridge Boys since 1965, reflected on his upbringing on a cotton and peanut farm in south Alabama and how those rural roots helped shape his work ethic, faith, and artistic perspective. He shared how farming life influenced both his music and his appreciation for people and places.

The new book, Golden Memories, offers fans an intimate look at the moments and landscapes that have inspired him throughout decades of touring. Golden also touched on his latest music release, Old Country Church, which draws heavily on themes of faith, heritage, and home.
