The Oak Ridge Boys Wanatoa Video Mpya ya Muziki "Promised Land" Kuheshimu Joe Bonsall
Washindi wa Tuzo za GRAMMY® na wanachama wa Country Music Hall of Fame The Oak Ridge Boys hutoa heshima kwa Joe Bonsall wapendwa wao kwa video mpya ya muziki kwa “Promised Land, kutoka kwenye albamu yao ‘Front Porch Singin’' iliyotolewa na Lightning Rod Records mnamo 2021. “Promised Land,” iliyoandikwa na Ashley Monroe ilipendwa na mashabiki awali, na kwa habari ya ghafla ya kifo cha Bonsall, mashabiki wengi wa Oaks walianza kuweka wimbo huo kumbukumbu ya Joe. Wakati huo huo wakijipatia hasara ya rafiki yao na mwanachama wa bendi kwa miaka 50, Oaks walijadili kuunda heshima kamili kwa kaka yao, na William Lee Golden alipendekeza video ya muziki kwa "Promised Land." Video hiyo, iliyoongozwa na Brandon Wood / IndieBling ilikuwa iliandikwa na People.com.
“Nilimwita Ashley Monroe na kuomba aandike wimbo kwa ajili ya albamu yetu 'Front Porch Singin','” anashiriki Duane Allen. “Tulizungumzia kile tulichotaka. Katika siku chache, Ashley alituma 'Promised Land.' Nilipenda mara moja na nikampeleka kwa David Cobb. Aliandika nyuma 'mchezo wa kuruka!'! Wakati tulipokuwa katika studio, ulikuwa na uchawi. David aliwasha sauti ya Joe katika ufunguo wa chini zaidi kuliko kawaida ili aweze kuongea ujumbe huu. Ninahisi kwamba David alipata moyo na roho ya Joe. 'OOO' zetu zinaweza kusikika tu mwisho wa kazi hii ya kisanii.”
“Promised Land”
Don't weep for me when I'm dead and gone
For I'll just be going home
Heaven's light will shine on me
It will lead me to Eternity
When I take my final breath
Lay these feeble bones to rest
And I will run through Heaven's gates
Where my blessed Savior waits
[Chorus]
And He will take me by my hand
And I'll be happier than I've ever been
Now don't you worry, we'll meet again
And stay together in the Promised Land
And I will hear my momma sing
Feel my daddy’s arms holding me
And I will cry tears of joy
When I see friends who’ve gone before.
[Chorus]
And He will take me by my hand
And I'll be happier than I've ever been
Now don't you worry, we'll meet again
And stay together in the Promised Land

Inachukua aina nyingi za wataalamu kugeuza gurudumu hili tunalolitaja kama biashara ya muziki: waigizaji wa redio, wasimamizi wa ziara, wataalamu wa lebo za rekodi, wataalamu wa upangaji wa runinga, wasimamizi wa matukio ya moja kwa moja na wanahabari ambao hutoa wasanii ujuzi unaohitajika kudumisha gurudumu katika harakati. Ujuzi ni nguvu, na mtendaji/mjasiriamali Jeremy Westby ndiye nguvu nyuma ya 2911 Enterprises. Westby ni mtu nadra ambaye uzoefu wake wa miaka ishirini na tano katika tasnia ya muziki unashinda kila eneo hilo—kwa kiwango cha aina nyingi katika nyanja zote. Baada ya yote, ni wangapi wanaweza kusema kuwa wamefanya kazi kando ya Megadeth, Meat Loaf, Michael W. Smith na Dolly Parton? Westby anaweza.
