Old Dominion will take longtime fans on a stroll down memory lane with a collection of career-spanning hits and deep cuts. The band announced on Wednesday morning (August 7) that the 31-track record, titled Odies But Goodies, will arrive next month.
The group — made up of Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Whit Sellers, Geoff Sprung and Brad Tursi — shared in the announcement on Wednesday that they “all believe in the power of the song—and taking that song out to where y’all can hear it, feel it, maybe even be in it. We did it for the fun, and then we realized that an awful lot of you were loving the songs. And not just the ones on the radio, but the songs that were never gonna be singles. That’s when you know you’ve hit something.
“And that’s why we decided to gather up these songs—the ones you’ve heard on the radio, your other favorites and more—and package them as ‘Odies But Goodies,’” the band said. Fittingly, the swap from “oldies” to “Odie’s” in the album title nods to Old Dominion’s new bar set to open in Midtown Nashville, Tennessee. Old Dominion previously announced Odie’s Bar will arrive in a neighborhood that “has played such a role in the history of our band. From chilling at the bar after writing, to playing weekly into the wee hours of the morning and even recently playing Whiskey Jam to launch our tour…. It’s an important neighborhood for not only upcoming artists and writers but also for locals and visitors who want a good place they know they can go and have a good time. [Odie’s Bar] will be that neighborhood bar for us all.”
The Odies But Goodies announcement arrives shortly after Old Dominion released their latest single, “Coming Home,” in June. The band’s most recent full-length album is the 18-track project, Memory Lane, which made its debut in October 2023. Memory Lane included the title track, “Can’t Break Up Now” with Megan Moroney, “I Should Have Married You,” “Ain’t Got a Worry” with Blake Shelton and more. The reigning Country Music Association Vocal Group of the Year is also known for “Hotel Key,” “One Man Band,” “Break Up with Him,” “Snapback,” “Make It Sweet” and much more over the years.
Odies But Goodies will arrive on September 6.
