Old Dominion’s new album, ‘Barbara,’ won’t lean on band’s record-breaking laurels

NEW YORK (AP) — When Old Dominion’s eighth group of the year victory broke the tie for consecutive wins at the Academy of Country Music Awards last month, it changed the record books — but not their perspective.

“They’re certainly wonderful honors that we get, but that’s not in any way how we really measure our success or think. We can’t let that kind of stuff creep in to the creative process because that’s when we’ll start to get off course,” said Matthew Ramsey, lead vocalist and guitarist.
