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

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

NEW YORK (AP) — WhenOld Dominion's eighth group of the yearvictory broke the tie for consecutive wins at theAcademy of Country Music Awardslast 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. "We try to protect each other from those outside influences a little bit and just make sure that we're … not chasing after some sort of reaction or award, or chasing after what we think the radio wants to play. We just have to make what we love." Old Dominion has been celebrated for intertwining different musical styles whilewithin country music. Along with Ramsey, the band includes Brad Tursi (guitar/banjo), Trevor Rosen (guitar/piano), Geoff Sprung (bass) and Whit Sellers (percussion). They have spent the last two years crafting "Barbara," out Aug. 22 via Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville. The project follows 2023's "Memory Lane" album and last year's "Odies But Goodies" compilation, which Ramsey says is even more eclectic than past works. "We just write constantly. And we've had albums where we've kind of gone deeper into the well and picked out older songs," explained the 47-year-old. "This one, not so much the case." The 13-track album is not named after a real woman but is an imagined composite of a person who embodies many of the group's various personality traits. It includes the released singles "Me Most Nights" and "Making Good Time," along with the four-on-the-floor "Talk Country" and the R&B-infused "What Doesn't Kill a Memory." Just as introspection is a fundamental element of country music, it's also the sweet spot on this album. "Miss You Man" is dedicated to friend and writing collaborator Andrew Dorff, who died in 2016 during a vacation, while "Goodnight Music City" reflects on the band's career. "It has all the reverence about Nashville and a little bit of the jaded side to it, too. We've been through it in Nashville, as anyone goes through when they're trying to chase this crazy dream," said Ramsey, who revealed the song is inspired by the children's book "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown. "It's such a meaningful song to us all … we've played it live one time at the Ryman Auditorium, and we were all crying by the end of it." The band also looks within on "Man or the Song," as Ramsey questions, "If I put my guitar down, would I disappear? / Move back to my hometown, would you still be here?" Ramsey says it's his favorite song. "That's kind of what it feels like once you get to this level and you're surrounded by all these people that are helping you make your dreams come true," he said. "Who's around for the right reasons can certainly creep into the conversation. It can be a lonely profession … I hope you love me for me, and not for this crazy job I have." Coinciding with the release of "Barbara," the band is prepping its "How Good Is That" world tour which launches in September. Throughout the past decade, Old Dominion has earned a loyal fan base in a genre often criticized as rigid, with frequentdebates about equal radio play, what determines pure country music andwho should be allowed to participate.But while there's no denying the group is authentically country, the irony is not lost on them that they've been able to cut through the Nashville noise by not sticking to only traditional country sounds. "Whenever we wrote a song and recorded it, we just wanted to make sure that we were not chasing anything other than the truest form of that song and what was going to deliver that message as clearly as we wanted it to be," said Ramsey. "Our fans now, I think, are coming to expect that from us; they're looking for the surprise that we're gonna throw in there, rather than the same old thing. … We don't take that for granted. We know that's a rare thing in the genre." "Barbara" will be released Aug. 22. 'Barbara' tracklist 1. "Making Good Time" 2. "Water My Flowers" 3. "Me Most Nights" 4. "Man or the Song" 5.

What to know about Karol Nawrocki, Poland's newly elected conservative president

What to know about Karol Nawrocki, Poland's newly elected conservative president

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The final result of Poland's presidential election only became clear after a long, nail-gripping night of counting as both candidates were locked in a near dead heat in the first exit polls after voting ended. Poles awakened Monday to aclear albeit close resultthat returns a nationalist politician to the presidency who has pledged to hinder the centrist, pro-EU government for the remainder of its term. Here's what to know about Karol Nawrocki, Poland's newly elected conservative president: Trumpbacked him Nawrocki is a 42-year-old historian who had no political experience prior to the campaign and who was not even a party member until he was tapped by the conservative Law and Justice party that governed Poland from 2015 to 2023. Nawrocki heads the Institute of National Remembrance, which embraces nationalist historical narratives. He led efforts totopple monuments to the Soviet Red Armyin Poland. Russia responded by putting him on a wanted list, according to Polish media reports. Nawrocki's supporters describe him as the embodiment of traditional, patriotic values. Many of them oppose abortion and LGBTQ+ visibility and say Nawrocki reflects the traditional values they grew up with. He was also the preferred favorite of U.S. President Donald Trump, withthe American conservative group CPACholding its first meeting in Poland last week during the campaign to give him a boost. Kristi Noem, the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary and a prominent Trump ally, strongly praised him and urged Poles to vote for him. His campaign echoed themes popular on the American right. A common refrain from his supporters is that Nawrocki will restore "normality," as they believe Trump has done. U.S. flags appeared at his rallies. Nawrocki performed better in the first round than expected, an indication he was underestimated in the polling. Nawrocki was linked to scandals Nawrocki's quick political rise has not been without controversy, with reports linking him to underworld figures whom he met while boxing or working as a hotel security guard in the past. Nawrocki has also been linked to a scandal involving the acquisition of a Gdansk apartment from an elderly pensioner named Jerzy. Allegations suggest Nawrocki promised to care for Jerzy in return but failed to fulfill the commitment, leading the man to end up in a publicly funded retirement home. His shifting explanations raised questions about his transparency and credibility. After the scandal erupted he donated the apartment to a charity. It recently emerged that Nawrocki took part in a 2009 Gdansk brawl involving about 140 rival soccer fans, some later convicted of crimes. Nawrocki described the fight as a form of "noble" combat. Polish media have also reported on his connections to gangsters and the world of prostitution. His critics say all of these things make him unfit to represent Poland as the head of state but many right-wing voters don't believe the allegations and accuse the media of using its power to hurt him, creating what appears to be a rallying effect around him. It's unclear what effect, if any, these scandals had on the outcome of Sunday's result.

Ukraine's massive drone attack deep inside Russia lays bare Putin's vulnerability

Ukraine's massive drone attack deep inside Russia lays bare Putin's vulnerability

It wasa stunning, audacious attackwhose widespread effects are only just becoming clear. Ukrainemanaged tosmuggle 117 aerial drones on the backs of trucksthat deposited them at the perimeter of four Russian air bases — one of them deep inside Siberia some 2,500 miles from Ukraine's borders, according to Ukrainian officials. While there are differing accounts on the extent of the ensuing damage of Sunday's "Spiderweb" operation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 40 Russian aircraft — 34% ofRussia's strategic cruise missile carriers— were hit. Ukraine's security service, the SBU, put the estimated cost to the Kremlin at $7 billion. Some military commentators and pro-Russian bloggers have called it the country's "Pearl Harbor" — a reference to Japanese attack in 1941 that saw the United States enter World War II. It came Sunday, a day before thelatest round of direct peace talks between Ukraine and Russiaon Monday. There was little optimismfor diplomatic progresseven before the strike, with Ukraine sending its defense minister, Rustem Umerov, but Russia only dispatching the far more junior Putin aide, Vladimir Medinsky, to the Çırağan Palace in Istanbul. The talks were set to begin at 1 p.m. local time (6 a.m. ET). A far more likely outcome isRussia continuing to bomb Ukrainian civilians— this time under the pretext of retaliation, "even though in reality these strikes are planned long in advance," said Keir Giles, a senior consulting fellow with the London-based think-tank Chatham House's Russia and Eurasia program. Less hard to quantify will be the huge blow to Vladimir Putin's pride, with Western analysts in agreement that this was a humiliation for the Russian president. "At a time when Putin seems to think that he is winning on the battlefield, this demonstrates that his forces are in fact very vulnerable," said Sven Biscop, a director at the Egmont Institute, a think tank in Brussels. "This may not change the course of the war, but it does mean that every gain Russia makes will be at high cost." He added it was "quite amazing" that "a significant part of their bomber force" could "be destroyed like that." The strike took a year and a half to plan, according to Zelenskyy, and played out on the eve of the latest round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul. It's still unclear what impact the surgical strike will have on Monday's negotiations, hopes for which were already dim thanks to the deep divisions between the positions of Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine says it is ready to sign an unconditional 30-day ceasefire; Russia is essentially demanding Ukraine's surrender. Brokering the talks, President Donald Trump hasshifted from the unambiguously pro-Ukrainian stance of his predecessor, President Joe Biden, and offered concessions to the Kremlin that have outraged many in the West. At the same time, he accused Putin last week of going "absolutely crazy" by continuing to launch regular attacks on Ukraine civilians. Ultimately, he has threatened to walk away from the peace talks if they do not yield the results he once promised he would achieve in just 24 hours. Indeed, overnight into Sunday, Russia launched some 500 attack drones into Ukraine, Zelenskyy said. The night next came 84 more, with at least 10 people killed and dozens more injured across the country, Ukraine's air force said. Other pro-Russia observers are calling for even more drastic measures. "We hope that the response will be the same as the U.S. response to the attack on Pearl Harbor, or even tougher," one Russian military blogger, Roman Alekhin, said on the messaging app Telegram. Another pro-war Telegram channel, Dva Mayora, added that it was "a reason to launch nuclear strikes on Ukraine" —a threat often made by Putinsince launching the invasion three years ago. "We can expect a great deal of sound and fury from Moscow," Giles said. Russia "will be working hard on convincing the United States to attempt to rein Ukraine in, in order to prevent any further damage to Russia's means of bombarding Ukrainian cities with long range missiles," he added. "In a way, the more important question is how the United States reacts, and how eager it is to take Moscow's side and constrain Ukraine," he said. Alexander Smith reported from London and Daryna Mayer reported from Kyiv.
