CD Reviews
Sander Vs. Golden
03/01/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I take issue with the reviewer who says that Steve ruined this. It is a great recording, and I have to say that Steve and Golden are very different and should not be compared. But if we're comparing lets do it. Steve was an awesome vocalist, who brought a new sound and energy to the group when it was desperately needed. He didn't sing through his nose like Golden does, he sang on key (which Golden often does not) and was glad to be there (unlike Golden the last few years of his first run.)Now to the review. Top picks are Gonna Take A Lot Of River, Too Many Heartaches, Bridges and Walls, and When Karen Comes Around."

"Although "Heartbeat" was really the first album with Steve Sanders on vocals, "Monongahela" is truly the first release where the Oaks return to top form. Sanders blends beautifully with the other Boys and even gets a chance to shine on what would become his most popular song with the ORB, "Gonna Take A Lot Of River." Overall, this is full of versatility and range, a great addition!"
A great example of the Oaks' ability to sing in a wide range

"The Oak Ridge Boys can sing anything....and prove it with this album. Whether it's upbeat cajun, heavy power-ballads, or just good ole country music, the Oaks do it, and do it GOOD!!"
