The Statler Brothers Discography

By Alice Y. Holtin

In a recent poll (Harris 1996), the Statler Brothers, country and gospel music legends, were rated second only to Frank Sinatra as America's favorite singers. They are known as the most awarded act in the history of country music and are still going strong after 30 years. Their performances and the songs they write reflect where they were born--in the birthplace of gospel music, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Presented here in a clear format are the expected discography details plus additional information that Statler fans will find fun to read.

This work contains the usual session and release information, single and album chart histories, television programs, awards, and indices for song titles, composers, and musicians plus extras such as album notes and Statler proverbs. This is a well-researched, documented, and concise work suitable for scholars and fans alike.

Customer Reviews

This book is a MUST for any Statler fan!

The music of the Statler Brothers has had, and will continue to have, a tremendous impact on the world of music. In this book, Mrs. Holtin has given Statler fans something that has been sorely needed for a long, long time: good, solid, dependable information about the men and their music. This book, however, goes far beyond the 'typical' discography, in that it is presented clearly and concisely, but with a humanity and obvious love of the music and the artists which make it required reading for anyone who calls themselves a Statler fan! Very informative and highly entertaining!
