Country hitmakers Old Dominion are tugging at heartstrings again with their newest release, “Miss You Man,” from their upcoming sixth studio album Barbara, out now via Sony Music Nashville. Known for crafting songs that balance catchiness with genuine feeling, the band turns inward this time, delivering a moving tribute to their late friend and songwriter Andrew Dorff.
Written in Dorff’s memory, “Miss You Man” layers Matthew Ramsey’s tender vocals with soft percussion and gentle guitar lines, creating a track that feels both intimate and universal. It’s a song about missing someone who shaped your world, and carrying that love forward with quiet strength. Accompanied by a touching music video dedicated to Dorff, the song captures the ache of absence while celebrating the beauty of friendship that endures beyond time.
“Some years ago, we lost our dear friend Andrew Dorff far too soon,” Ramsey shares. “We play songs we’ve written with him every night on stage. When you hear our music, many times you are also hearing the voice of Andrew. There is a saying – grief is the price of love. We all experience that loss at some point and we carry that love as we go through that process, in some ways, for the rest of our lives. Miss You Man is a tribute to grief, friendship, and love.”
Barbara promises to be Old Dominion’s most personal project yet. The 13-track record blends the band’s signature melodic, guitar-driven country sound with deeper reflections on love, loss, and resilience. While the themes run heavy, the optimism and warmth that have defined Old Dominion’s music still shine through.
