Old Dominion Talks ‘Meat and Candy’

It’s a big week for Old Dominion. Not only is their debut single, “Break Up With Him,” sitting atop the Country radio chart, the band is also celebrating the release of their much-anticipated debut album, Meat and Candy. The album, which features 11 tracks, was produced by GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter and producer, Shane McAnally.

“When we were kids sitting in our rooms with our guitars and Rolling Stone magazines, this is THE moment we were imagining for ourselves,” Old Dominion said at the time their album was announced. “As musicians and songwriters, we are very proud of every song on the album. We are looking to turn some heads and make some big noise here. We’re stepping out there on stage with the big boys and girls and our hope is that this album will prove we deserve to be there.”

We’ve deemed the next week “Old Dominion Week” here at Sounds Like Nashville, so we figured there’s no better way to kick it off than with our exclusive interview with the band. Watch below as OD’s Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Whit Sellers, Geoff Sprung, and Brad Tursi open up to us about the success of their debut single, how they came up with the album title, and dish on the story behind the album cover.
