A Challenge in Researching “Trying to Love Two Women”

Unfortunately, there seems to be a limited amount of publicly accessible, detailed historical information specifically about the song “Trying to Love Two Women” by The Oak Ridge Boys.

While the song itself is well-known and has been a staple in country music for decades, in-depth historical analysis or behind-the-scenes stories about its creation and impact appear to be scarce.

Potential Reasons for Limited Information

  1. Song Age: Released in 1980, the song is relatively old. Music history often prioritizes newer or more groundbreaking works.
  2. Genre: Country music, while popular, might not receive the same level of academic or historical scrutiny as other genres.
  3. Song Theme: The subject matter of the song might be considered less profound or historically significant compared to other topics.

A Possible Approach

Given these limitations, we could focus on:

  • The Oak Ridge Boys’ career: Providing a brief overview of the group’s history and their place in country music.
  • The song’s context: Discussing the broader country music landscape of the 1980s and how the song fits into that era.
  • The song’s impact: Exploring the song’s popularity and its potential influence on subsequent country music.
