Country Music Hall of Famer William Lee Golden and his grandson Elijah Golden join Brandon Woolum for an emotional and inspiring conversation about the upcoming release of a special family version of the Oak Ridge Boys classic, “Elvira.” Performed by William Lee Golden and The Goldens, the new music video debuts on the one-year anniversary of the passing of longtime Oaks member Joe Bonsall.

William and Elijah reflect on the grief their family and The Oak Ridge Boys have navigated over the past year, the decision to reimagine “Elvira” as a tribute across generations, and the meaningful role William plays in mentoring young artists like Elijah.

They also give a sneak peek at William’s upcoming book, which features his personal photography and showcases another side of his creative legacy.
