These Guys Are The Best

"As always, the Statlers have produced a beautiful, inspirational and an album that says what these men stand for - wholesomeness, love, talent and greatest of all Christianity. Each album just gets better and better. They should be so proud to be able to sing about what they believe in and have their songs so widely appreciated. Kudos to all four - the Statlers are the BEST."

A good album with good songs, but not their best.

"The Statler Brother's latest album is not one for the normal Statler fan to leave sitting on the shelves. It is a great album with a good selection of songs. Only one problem, though. There are hardly any of the very unique songs that have made the Statlers famous. Songs that echo the style and lyrics of "Do You Remember These," "Chet, You're the Reason," "Maple Street Memories," and "Child of the Fifties." There are just mainly your typical, average country love songs or cheating songs and of course, the traditional gospel songs that appear on every Statler album. Not that that's bad, however. The Statlers of course always give a special delivery to every song that they record. Overall, this is still a fabulous country album, but as far as the Statlers are concerned it's missing some of that special, nostalgic-like songwriting that has made them famous."

The Statlers do it again...

"Outstanding effort from one of the founding groups of country music. Well written songs from throughout the family, to include their sons who are the group "Grandstaff". Don's vocals continue to lead the Statlers through song after song that brings back nostalgia and pleasant memories that make you want to just sit back and "listen". Jimmy's tenor, Phil's 2nd Tenor, and of course, Harold's completely sufficient bass continue to blend in traditional Statler fashion...perfectly. Outstanding tributes to the Savior, as with every album so far. A must have for any traditional country fan, much less a Statler Brothers fan. Truly merits much more publicity than it has received, but then, again, the Statlers were never in it for the money, just for the fans. This album sits on the top of my favorites! Hopefully many more to come from the Statlers."
