STUART: WELL, WELL, WELL, LOOK
AT THEM ALL LINED UP HERE.
SEE THESE GUYS?
THEY'VE SOLD MILLIONS OF RECORDS
AND THEY WON MULTIPLE GRAMMY
AWARDS MEMBERS OF THE COUNTRY
MUSIC HALL OF FAME.
THEY'VE GOT A NEW ALBUM THAT'S
JUST ONE OF THEM.
IT'S CALLED 17TH AVENUE REVIVAL
AND LOOK WHOSE HERE THEY ARE THE
OAK RIDGE BOYS.
>> HELLO, STUART.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> WE'LL PICK YOU UP THAT
POLITICAL FINANCIAL STUFF REAL
QUICKLY.
>> [LAUGHTER]
STUART: YOU'VE BEEN AROUND FOR
YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, BUT I
HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE WHAT YOUR
POLITICS ARE.
>> US?
STUART: YES, YOU.
>> OH, OUR BUS RIDES A LITTLE
BIT TO THE RIGHT.
STUART: BUT IT PROBABLY DOESN'T
KNOW THAT.
>> SOME DO SOME DON'T.
>> WE DON'T TAKE IT TO THE STAGE
STUART: KEEP IT SEPARATE IS THAT
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY?
>> THAT'S AN INDIVIDUAL THING
AND I'M AN INDEPENDENT MYSELF I
VOTE FOR THE PERSON.
STUART: OKAY, OKAY.
ANY DEMOCRATS HERE?
>> NO.
>> [LAUGHTER]
STUART: NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
SO, YOU'VE BEEN AROUND FOR
LITERALLY DECADES YOU MUST HAVE
BEEN BECAUSE I'VE KNOWN YOU FROM
MY CHILDHOOD AND --
>> THE ORIGINAL OAK RIDGE
STARTED IN THE 40S WHERE THEY
WERE WORKING ON THE ATOMIC BOMB
THE ONLY GUYS ALLOWED INTO
ENTERTAIN THOSE SEQUESTERED AND
THE GROUP MORPHED IN THE 50S,
AND DWAYNE ALLEN JOINED IN 66
AND RICHARD OUR BASS SINGER IN
72 AND I JOINED IN 73 I'M THE
NEW GUY.
STUART: REALLY SO YOU'RE NOT THE
ORIGINAL OAK RIDGE BOYS?
>> NO.
STUART: YOU'RE ALL REPLACEMENTS
BUT YOU CARRIED ON THE TRADITION
>> WE'VE BEEN SINGING TOGETHER
FOR 44 YEARS.
STUART: IT'S COUNTRY MUSIC RIGHT
>> COUNTRY, GOSPEL, LITTLE ROCK
EDGE TO IT IN FACT THIS WHOLE
NEW ALBUM IS KIND OF A UNIQUE
PROJECT FOR US CREATIVELY
BECAUSE OUR YOUNG PRODUCER DAVE
COBB WANTED US TO EXPLORE THE
EARLY GOSPEL AND EARLY ROCK AND
ROLL AT THE SAME TIME AND WHAT
WE ENDED UP WITH IS EARLY ROCK
AND ROLL INFLUENCED GOSPEL.
OR IT'S MESHED TOGETHER.
MORE AN ATTITUDE THAN ANYTHING.
STUART: HERE IS ONE OTHER REASON
WHY YOU'RE ON THE SHOW.
ONE OF YOU HAS A WIFE WHO IS A
RELIGIOUS WATCHER OF THIS
PROGRAM.
>> IT'S MY WIFE.
MARY.
SHE'S WATCHING RIGHT NOW STUART
AND SHE LOVES YOU MAN AND SHE'S
SO CONCERNED ABOUT HER FACEBOOK
STOCK TODAY.
STUART: [LAUGHTER]
RIGHTFUL IT SO.
WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT 17TH
AVENUE REVIVAL WHAT IS IT?
>> WELL THE HISTORIC RCA STUDIO
A IS LOCATED ON WHAT WAS 17TH
AVENUE SOUTH, AND THAT'S BEEN
RENAMED, BUT WE RESTORED AND WE
SAVED THAT STUDIO, A BUNCH OF US
SIGNED PETITIONS WENT TO
MEETINGS, KEPT IT FROM BEING
TURNED INTO AN APARTMENT HOUSE
AND WE SAVED STUDIO A AND OUR
PRODUCER TOOK IT OVER AND NOW HE
PRODUCES PEOPLE LIKE CHRIS
STAPLETON AND MANY OF THE HOT
ARTISTS TODAY AND DAVID COBB IS
THE HOTTEST PRODUCER IN
NASHVILLE.
STUART: THE BASS VOICE I WANT TO
HEAR IT.
WILL YOU EVER QUIT SINGING, WILL
YOU EVER QUIT THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
>> WE HAVE NO PLANS TO RETIRE.
WE'RE NOT THE YOUNG KIDS ON THE
BLOCK ANY MORE.
STUART: OH, LISTEN TO YOU.
I'D GIVE MY RIGHT ARM FOR A
VOICE AS DEEP IN BASS AS THAT.
>> YOU KNOW, IF IT WEREN'T FOR
THIS VOICE I'D HAVE TO GET A
REAL JOB.
STUART: WAIT A MINUTE.
>> YOU KNOW IF IT WASN'T ENOUGH
VOICE I'D HAVE TO GET A REAL JOB
>> I KNOW YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF
IT BEFORE.
STUART: [LAUGHTER]
>> YOU THINK I'D DO THAT ON TAPE
>> THE OAK RIDGE BOYS AND STUART
STUART: OF THIS IS ELVIRA, IS
THIS WHAT WE'RE HEARING?
OKAY ON THE WAY OUT WATCH OUT
FOR THIS NEW ALBUM COMING UP ARE
WE GOING TO PLAY YOU THEIR
GREATEST HIT, RIGHT?
LISTEN.
IT'S GOOD.
>> THANK YOU.
STUART: MORE VARNEY AFTER THIS.
