Bill Gaither describes the motivation behind this new release, stating, "Over
the years, the Oak Ridge Boys have taken gospel music into places I, and most
other gospel artists, would have never been invited. This celebration of
their gospel journey was more than just a fun opportunity to hear their gospel
favorites ... it was about honoring their deep commitment to their gospel
roots. I applaud that; and through this DVD I believe countless listeners
will enjoy seeing four hearts that truly beat for music with a message."

Oak Ridge Boy, Joe Bonsall, also comments, "This is the most exciting time
I've ever experienced with the Oak Ridge Boys. I can remember sitting and
watching Gaither Homecoming videos on television and being so blessed. Then on
my 50th birthday, we were invited to sit in the audience for the Cathedrals
Farewell Celebration and I couldn't believe it ... and when we were called to
the stage to sing, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Now, more than 10
years after that video was released, we consider Bill and Gloria and many of
our other heroes to be friends. Being in their studio, standing in the places
where so many legends have stood, to create a video documenting our gospel
journey was definitely a full-circle moment for the Oak Ridge Boys."

The Oak Ridge Boys: A Gospel Journey is distributed by EMI and will be
available in stores on April 21, or on www.gaither.comApril 8, 2009.
Television airings begin April 16 and continue throughout the following week
on a variety of television networks, including: Daystar, The Gospel Music
Channel, GAC (Great American Country), TBN (Trinity Broadcasting), RFD, and
others. For a full schedule of upcoming television listings visit
