The Gospel Music of the Statler Brothers, Vol. 1

Performer: The Statler Brothers
Engineer: Chad Evans...
Producer: Bill Gaither...
Distributor: EMI Christian Music Group

Notes: Photographer: Emily Sutherland. The Statler Brothers (they're not actual brothers -- they just sing like they are) began as a church vocal group, and while they went on to place hits on both the pop and country charts in a 45-year career, traditional church music and gospel remained at the heart of their sound and intent. For years the group hosted a variety show on TNN and would close each program by singing a gospel song around a lone piano, and this disc, the first volume of two (there are also matching DVD volumes), collects several of those intimate performances, along with a relaxed interview. It makes for a nice introduction to a vocal group that has become an American institution. ~ Steve Leggett

One of country's most popular and enduring (1960-2002) vocal acts, the Statler Brothers topped the country charts for more than 20 years and even after the run of hits ended remained a popular live act. They began their career as backup singers for Johnny Cash (that's them on "Daddy Sang Bass") and blossomed into headline status with the bouncy novelty "Flowers on the Wall."
