“I am so proud of William Lee. This 3 album set is masterful and heartfelt! Golden has always been about family and music and along with his boys they have created a musical masterpiece and besides that, I find the retro feel of the great old songs quite appealing.” – Joe Bonsall, The Oak Ridge Boys
“I’ve long been a fan of William Lee Golden and his talented sons, and these three new albums are an absolute treasure. I love that William Lee, sons Chris, Rusty and Craig, and his grandson Elijah along with friend and bass singer Aaron McCune have revived some of the most potent songs in the American songbook from the stone-cold country of ‘Long Black Veil’ to Tommy Petty’s ‘Southern Accent’ to gospel classic ‘Power in the Blood.’ This is a landmark project in the Country Music Hall of Famer’s legendary career and the fact that it’s a family affair just makes it all the sweeter.” – Deborah Evans Price, Billboard
“Maybe one of the best things to come out of the pandemic shutdown was the time William Lee and his boys had to spend together. And the best thing for us is this project! What a treasure they have recorded, where each member of the family brought their own ideas, and then together as a family, they literally put memories together with music. There is something for everyone and every mood. Thank you William Lee for raising these wonderful boys who are The Goldens.” – Jeannie Seely
