"Oak Ridge Boys - Dave Cobb Produced Album"
ReplyDeleteBut they just had one, 17TH AVENUE REVIVAL. So are they working with him again, or is this a set of outtakes from the previous album?
The Yearwood album does have a date, and I believe it's February 20 or sometime like that.
And from "Other Projects Rumored to Be in the Works", you can remove the FGL and Clay Walker items - both have dates, as stated in the confirmed releases. A whole Tritt/Stuart disc sounds like a good idea. If I'm not mistaken, the Morganne Stapleton project is her solo debut, and given Chris' stature, I don't see how a Morganne solo album can't catch the same fire. I'm curious how Tim McGraw's Columbia debut will fare. Even though the rumored Pam Tillis project just has her name on it, part of me thinks it's a third Lorrie Morgan collaboration album. And that Willie/Kris/Merle project has to be unreleased material recorded earlier, unless it's just Merle recordings with new parts from Willie and Kris added.
