Country music has always been built on stories: songs about heartbreak, faith, family, hard work, loss, love, and real life. Voices of Country Legends is an interview-based podcast preserving the stories behind country music’s most enduring artists, songs, and memories. Hosted by Frank Gerard, the series features conversations with country artists, musicians, songwriters, family members, historians, authors, and others connected to the people and moments that helped shape the music. Frank brings a broadcaster’s voice, a publisher’s sense of history, a narrator’s ear, and a lifelong love of country music to every conversation. His audiobook narration work includes books about Randy Travis, Faron Young, Marty Robbins, and Jim Reeves, giving him a deep appreciation for the lives, careers, and legacies behind the music. This is not a podcast about chasing trends or retelling the same old stories. It is about listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and preserving firsthand memories while they can still be shared. Whether you grew up with this music or are discovering it now, Voices of Country Legends brings you closer to the people, songs, and stories that made country music last.

William Lee Golden's story begins long before the gold records, "Elvira" or the beard that became one of the most recognizable sights in country music. The Oak Ridge Boys baritone takes Frank Gerard back to the family farm near Brewton, Alabama, where he listened to the Grand Ole Opry on a battery-powered radio and learned his first guitar chords from his older sister, Lanette. William Lee remembers deciding that he belonged in the Oak Ridge Boys, joining the group in 1965 and helping shape the classic harmony that carried the Oaks from gospel music to country stardom. He shares stories about Duane Allen, Richard Sterban, Elvis Presley and the records that changed everything, including "Elvira," "Trying to Love Two Women" and "Thank God for Kids." The conversation also reaches beyond the stage. William Lee talks about family recordings made during the pandemic, his photography and painting, the loss of his son Rusty, and why his belief that music can heal comes from experience. In this episode The Alabama farm and battery radio where the music began How William Lee found his place in the Oak Ridge Boys The unusual connection between the Oaks and Elvis Presley's band The stories behind several of the group's biggest songs Recording 34 songs with his family during the pandemic Family, grief and the healing power of music Painting, photography and a lifetime of noticing the world around him William Lee Golden Official site: WilliamLeeGolden.com Family music: William Lee Golden and The Goldens Photography: Golden Memories, signed hardcover edition The Oak Ridge Boys Official site: OakRidgeBoys.com Voices of Country Legends preserves the stories that do not fit neatly into a chart position or a biography.
