The Statler Brothers: Farewell Concert (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first complete introduction to the Statlers was their Nashville TV Show that ran for 7 years. It was a great variety hour that showcased many new and veteran entertainers and unique acts with jugglers, magician's, etc. But the famous singing group got started with a Johnny Cash tour.
The concert was filmed live in West Virginia, October 2002. Unfortunately, it is not in stereo, but monotone. Picture and sound are crisp and clear.
Anymore, a Farewell Concert doesn't imply complete retirement. The Statlers will continue to make music and some will be writing books, as a memoir is due in 2006. They have just simply retired from touring.

What I like about the Statlers performing live is that they always keep the songs true to the original recordings. Each man lends a different voice that harmonizes so well. And as corny as Harold can get, he is always funny to me. His humor is interjected. The men pay tribute to the All American Band, their families, the office staff, road crew etc. They didn't leave anyone out.

They included wonderful hits from their gospel side with "How Great Thou Art, "This Old House" "Thank You World" and "Amazing Grace".
The Statlers have either written or chosen, very good music with meaningful lyrics. Each time your listen to these storytelling songs, you hear something more, something refreshing and the lyrics are vivid and memorable, such as the endearing classic "Do You Remember These"; "Class Of '57"; "Randolph Scott"; and "Susan When She Tried"; "Elizabeth" and "More Than a Name on a Wall."
I have loved their version of "Memories Are Made of This"; "Moments to Remember" and "The Great Pretender." They sang their first hit, "Flowers on the Wall"; and a beautiful song, "Too Much On My Heart", plus "Bed of Roses".
Also included are "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine"; "Oh Baby Mine"; "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You", and "A Place On Calvary."
This is a keeper DVD for a night of great music.....Rizzo

The Statler Brothers: Best of the Statler Brothers (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First some history to those who never heard of "The Statler Brothers". The Statler Brothers got their start working with Johnny Cash (the man in black). Only two of the group are actually brothers (Don and Harold). Yet the original group (Lew DeWitt & Phil Basley) were close friends from same small town of Staunton, Virginia. Lew actually wrote their first big hit "Flowers On The Wall". Due to an illness, Lew DeWitt had to leave the group and Jimmy Fortune was hired on.
I missed watching their TV shows and the concerts. Great family entertainment! Yet, I can understand them wanting to stop and enjoy retirement life. You don't have to now! Just watching these reruns until a new one comes out on the market.
Harold is funny! He could have made it back in the days of Red Skelton, Jack Benny, etc. were on TV. Yet, he is at his best like George & Gracie Burns when preforming with his brother Don.
I can't watch very many of the new TV shows and/or movies now. Too much violence and dirty language. This is something that you can sit down and not have to worry about what your little ones hear and/or see.
