Free Music Notes for Best of the Statler BrothersFree Music Review: Review of The Best of the Statler Brothers Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent CD. A treasure for all of us that enjoyed the Statler Brothers during our more youthful days.
Free Music Review: The guys have done better Hit: 3 Stars
The Statler Brothers are as squeaky clean as any group can get. The guys are apple pie, motherhood, Ozzie and Harriet, pure Americana country. They will not be everyone's cup of tea but one can see why they became so popular. They feature crisp lyrics, clear diction and tight harmony. The 11 tracks here are all by the original 4 guys from Staunton, VA-Harold, Phil, Don and the late Lew. None of them were named Statler! High points are subjective but this reviewer liked the wistful "Class of '57" and "Carry Me Back". If you think they don't make movies like they used to, then "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott" will strike a positive chord. (It helps to have actually seen a Scott movie!). A snide "New York City" was the low point of the album and comes across as elitist-especially for those of us that LIVE THERE! This album may be for established fans. General country listeners may better enjoy the "Rides Again" album.
