Listen "Old Dominion on success of 'One Man Band' to 'Man or the Song'"
Episode Synopsis
The world keeps turning for Old Dominion, who took time to celebrate a few life updates, like Brad Tursi's wedding and Matthew Ramsey's kids growing up and learning to drive, and talk with Katie Neal about their new album, 'Barbara.'
The group also talked about the legacy and importance of some of the standout songs in their catalog, like the 9-time platinum hit, "One Man Band."
"That song is just the gift that keeps on giving," shares Ramsey. "It's really a beautiful thing that has happened to us. You can't predict that kind of thing, and we're grateful for that song every single night."
That song shares some of the same DNA as "Man or the Song," a track from 'Barbara' that seems destine for great things. "We actually wrote that and recorded it on the same session that we recorded 'Coming Home.' That song was for the collection that we put out of a lot of our hits and stuff, but we knew that that song was really important to us, and so we didn't put it on there because we just felt like it would get lost, so we saved it," reveals Matthew. "Lots of times as songwriters, we just move on to the next thing pretty quickly and we don't look back too too much, but that one stuck around for a couple, for like a year and a half, 2 years. There was no burn to it. We just loved it so we knew that that one was definitely gonna make it on there."
