Old Dominion dropped their new album Time, Tequila, & Therapy today (10/8)! The guys from the band talk about the new album and working with Gladys Knight.
Among the 13 tracks on the new album, there’s a very special guest on one of them. The legendary Gladys Knight joins the guys on “Lonely Side Of Town.” Matthew Ramsey shares the story of how recording in Ashville, North Carolina actually led to getting Gladys on the album.
“Ah, it’s huge man … You know, that wasn’t even close to our bucket list … I don’t think we imagined anything like that would happen. It just presented itself as an amazing opportunity. She actually lives in Ashville, North Carolina. We didn’t realize at the time. It’s just, the stars just lined up and you know when we had the idea to bring her in on it, we had easy contact to her because the studio manager knew her. And she was on board immediately so … It was just, kind of happened so fast and was an amazing experience to just sit there and watch her do her thing … And it was very validating. It was an amazing thing.”
Time, Tequila, & Therapy was written and recorded in a three-week span a year ago. Trevor Rosen says that the band is very happy to finally have the album out so fans can listen to it.
“We wrote and recorded it a year ago, so you’re always itching to get it out there. There’s been a lot of preparation going into it, so you know, the fact that it finally comes out is always just an amazing feeling.”
The lead single, “I Was on a Boat That Day,” from the album is a Top 10 single and still climbing. Listen for the song on Bloomington-Normal’s #1 Country, B104.
