Oak Ridge "Boys" are past their prime
by xaa1m on 11/22/16Golden Nugget - Lake Charles - Lake CharlesRating: 4 out of 5I love this group. We have been to countless shows throughout the South. Their shows are ALWAYS professional and enjoyable.
However, when three of them appear slouchy and poorly groomed, it takes away from the show. Only Golden looked appropriately dressed and well-groomed.
Since this Christmas tour is just starting, I hope someone forces the others to notice the details of their appearance.
The voices are fine, but that is not up to the level from the past. Sterban still has the growl, and Bonsall is on key. Duane needs help, and he is lead. Golden is still golden. Sterban needs dental work. Duane appears sick. Look carefully at clothing choices!
It is hard to accept the ravages of age, but the outstanding show would have been better served by some attention to details of appearance. Long live the Oak Ridge Boys, but this tour will be very difficult for them. Studio work is their mainstay at this point in their careers.
