Old Dominion has returned in full force with their new album, 'Barbara,' a 13 song collection that blends the band's signature style with something fresh, and the most personal songs of the band's award-winning career.

The group joined Rob + Holly this week during the 'Friday Night Takeover' to talk about the making of the new album, the story behind the project's title, and dive deeper about some of their biggest hits and misses throughout their tenure as one of the top groups in Country music.

"That songwriting process is, it's an interesting challenge, and it's mystifying to us still," Matthew Ramsey says of crafting so many hits along the way. "We're enamored by it. So it is a challenge, every single time, well, most of the time it's a challenge. Sometimes they come out of nowhere, and they just fall out, and you don't really know how you did it. Those are typically the biggest songs."

Tyler Hubbard has his hands in a lot of things these days, from his hat company to writing hits with everyone from Keith Urban to Nelly. The "Dancin' In The Country" singer slowed down just long enough to join Rob + Holly this week on the 'Friday Night Takeover,' to talk about all that and more.

Listen as Tyler talks about the making of a few of his recent hits, like the one that Keith Urban told him to keep, and the church parking lot story that inspired "Park."

"I actually got caught parking when I was 15 with my girlfriend and flashbacks were coming back from that," admits Tyler, sharing an officer stopped the pair in the lot that night. Telling the police he was "talking and praying," he was told, "I'm gonna follow you home and tell your dad about your prayers you're having out here."

Hubbard says he was grounded, "for like a month," but at least he got a great song out of it.

Scotty McCreery joins Rob + Holly this week on the 'Friday Night Takeover' to talk about his song "Bottle Rockets," the stories behind a few of his hits, and how his wife reacts to his music the first time she hears it

The Carolina connection is strong on Scotty McCreery's new single, "Bottle Rockets," featuring a classic in its own right from Hootie & The Blowfish.

"The rest of the guys recorded their stuff before we'd even tracked the song in the studio," reveals Scotty. "They were like, 'we're already here in Charleston at the studio. Can we just do it?' And we're like, 'Well, here's the beat and here's the key, so knock it out.' So, it worked out and then Darius was in town from London, so it all came together nicely."

"I've been such a fan for a long time, but me and D have become really good friends over the years, and golf buddies, and fantasy football, all the whole nine yards," McCreery shares about his friendship with Darius Rucker. "We wrote the song in the mountains of Carolina on a little retreat, just kind of reminiscent on old summers and the soundtracks of those summers and everybody loved Hootie, but in the Carolinas, they were like even more, you know, big time."

After riffing on the song and "Hold My Hand," McCreery says it "felt like it flowed right into it." They reached out to their Blowfish friends and "they were all about it."

Parmalee continue to ride high with their latest album, 'Fell In Love With A Cowgirl', and joined Rob + Holly this week on the Friday Night Takeover to talk about some of the standout tracks, and how their music isn't a perfect fit for any one genre.

"We couldn't fit the mold for what was happening in the day, we were kind of doing what we're doing now, but it was like it wasn't really like Rock," the band shares. "It was too Country for Rock. It wasn't Alternative enough for that. We were just always in our own lane, which we continue to be."

The band had management in the world of Rock for a time with players from Papa Roach and Staind in the mix, but it never quite fit. "These guys really loved us and they love our music and they just, they couldn't figure out where we fit."

Luckily it worked out for Parmalee who are continuing a streak of number ones at Country radio. Turns our their fit is at the top of the Country charts.

The new era of Kane Brown is coming, previewed in part by the stomping new song "2 Pair." The singer recently caught up with Rob + Holly to talk about the making of the song, what to expect from the next chapter of KB, and fulfilling his childhood dream of having his own monster truck.

"It was sick, driving it was awesome," Kane shares of his time behind the wheel of his own Kane Brown monster truck, the K-Rex. "Driving a monster truck, you don't know what to expect. But It was insane."

Brown got to take the life-sized truck for a spin, and also got the die-cast mini version for his kids. "They loved the video, but they're excited they see the truck. I don't really buy them toys unless it's bikes or something, Kate does all the shopping for toys, but the one toy that I did buy him was a monster truck, Monster Jam track. So they played with that and then they got like the unicorn truck on there and all that stuff. So I said, 'I hope my truck does does well on the track.'"

To hear more from Kane Brown about his next era, and the song with his wife that they love but never put out, listen to the full conversation with Rob + Holly above.

The drive of Ella Langley has taken her to great heights, from ACM Award-winning success in music, right down to dog training, nothing is standing in the way of Ella being great at something.

"This is kind of an annoying thing about me, but it has gotten me where I'm at in my life, so I have to appreciate it," Langley shares with Rob + Holly during the 'Friday Night Takeover.' "I don't like to be bad at the things that I want to be good at."

"It's to a level where it's like, I just will have to learn how to get better at this." This happened for Ella with dog training her pups, but it really applies to everything. "I mean, if it's down to playing cornhole, literally I'm very serious about the game of cornhole."

The singer admits to taking it "a little too far every time," but she still finds room as an artist to make space for the imperfection. "I just care so much about the outcome, and there's like, obviously a point where I feel good about where it is with the song. I love the beauty of imperfection, and I think there's obviously certain kinds of music that are tuning and extreme tuning and stuff like with Pop, like that makes sense. There's certain songs where that makes sense, but for me, just letting it be a little unperfect, the imperfections make it a song."

"But yeah, I mean with my songwriting, with how a song sounds, with the lights on stage, with the music video, I have my hand in literally everything," Ella reveals. "I'm like, 'it has to be this exact way,' and it's quite annoying because you can't always make everything be exactly the way that you want it to be, but I can damn sure try."
