The Statler Brothers were the CMA\u2019s Vocal Group Of The Year from 1972 to 1980, a period that didn\u2019t even encompass their biggest chart success in the early to mid-\u201880s.<\/p>\n<p>Below are The Statler Brothers\u2019 20 best songs, from hymns to bluegrass to rock and roll. (The harmonies remain constant, even if the stylistic influences don\u2019t.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to the best Statler Brothers songs on <a href=\"https:\/\/udiscover.lnk.to\/The-Statler-Brothers-Best-Of\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Music<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/udiscover.lnk.to\/The-Statler-Brothers-Best-Of\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>20. \u201cAtlanta Blue\u201d (1984)<\/h2>\n<p>The rare showcase for bass Harold Reid, \u201cAtlanta Blue\u201d includes a twist on their standard pop-bluegrass fare with a period-appropriate reggae lite groove. The single gives run-of-the-mill longing and despair a specific geography, tying the narrator\u2019s sadness to Georgia pines and summertime. It reached No. 3 on Billboard\u2019s country chart, arriving during the three-year stretch in which no Statlers single peaked outside the top ten. The group was flexing their might as performers, songwriters, and producers, including the subtlest pop touches within familiar country production and telling stories that stood out without reinventing the wheel.<\/p>\n<h2>19. \u201cLeft Handed Woman\u201d (1974)<\/h2>\n<p>The Statlers touted their ability to heed country convention, exemplifying what they saw as a long-lost reverence for the genre\u2019s tradition and roots. Yet a weird streak runs through much of their work, as in this sort-of nonsense song about women and their idiosyncrasies penned by the only actual brothers in the Statlers, Don and Harold. It\u2019s fun and distinctive, a gendered lament that never devolves into unrepentant sexism and would sound great in any contemporary honky tonk.<\/p>\n<h2>18. \u201cMonday Morning Secretary\u201d (1972)<\/h2>\n<p>This quietly tragic character study is one of the more unlikely singles in the Statler Brothers\u2019 catalog. It is, simply, two minutes and 42 seconds of description of a week in the life of an average secretary. There\u2019s impressive precision in the lyrics, the kind of sensitivity that the Statlers\u2019 rapidly ascending singer-songwriter peers on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.udiscovermusic.com\/stories\/top-10-outlaw-country-pioneers\/\">outlaw side of country<\/a><\/strong> would wear on their sleeves. Here, it\u2019s presented unpretentiously, within a fairly standard pop-country arrangement where the nuance of Don Reid\u2019s poetry could be easy to miss.<\/p>\n<h2>17. \u201cWho Am I To Say\u201d (1978)<\/h2>\n<p>The first of ten songs written for the band by Harold Reid\u2019s daughter Kim, \u201cWho Am I To Say\u201d expresses a more reflective kind of regret than typically gets expressed in song. \u201cIf I\u2019d only been more open and understood her ways,\u201d they sang \u2013 words that plenty of women have certainly wished plenty of men would say to them in conversation, and here they were getting them in plaintive harmony. The song solidified the band\u2019s late 70s hot streak, spending two weeks at No. 3 on Billboard\u2019s country chart.<\/p>\n<h2>16. \u201cYou Can\u2019t Have Your Kate and Edith, Too\u201d (1967)<\/h2>\n<p>One of the more ubiquitous of the Statlers\u2019 novelty tunes, this Curly Putman and Bobby Braddock tune reached No. 10 on Billboard\u2019s country chart by riffing on an already-established pun (one that has reached into the present day, perhaps with help from the Statlers). The song was popular enough that the Statler Brothers included it in their brief set at Folsom Prison during Johnny Cash\u2019s legendary live recording.<\/p>\n<h2>15. \u201cNobody Wants To Be Country\u201d (1980)<\/h2>\n<p>People have been lamenting the decountrification of country music since before it was called country music. None of them, though, wrote a line as clean as, \u201cThey\u2019ve traded in the saddle and they all try to straddle the road that will take \u2018em to the top\u201d \u2013 except the Statler Brothers, of course, who bust out all available Appalachian trappings to prove their point on this <em>10th Anniversary<\/em> track. Putting aside the fact that the Statlers themselves had plenty of dalliances with pop trends, it\u2019s cuter and more effective than most similar complaints.<\/p>\n<h2>14. \u201cHow Great Thou Art\u201d (1975)<\/h2>\n<p>Gospel music is where the Statler Brothers started. Unlike many of their peers, though, they continued recording religious songs even after finding secular success. The group released this classic hymn as a single to promote a pair of gospel albums based on the Old and New Testament respectively. That was their only concession to commercialism, though. Both albums include Biblical readings at the beginning of almost every track, lest anyone be tempted to listen to the lovely harmonies without appropriate piety. Both the Old and New Testament albums were eventually certified gold.<\/p>\n<h2>13. \u201cToo Much On My Heart\u201d (1985)<\/h2>\n<p>Jimmy Fortune took the lead on this, his third No. 1 composition for the Statlers. It\u2019s a weighty ballad, with more of the synth and string adornments often found in pop music of the decade. Yet the lyrics help it avoid cliche, painting a couple on the verge of fracture that only has a vague sense of why. The song would be the Statlers\u2019 final chart-topper; the album it appeared on, <em>Pardners In Rhyme<\/em>, would be their first and last No. 1 country album.<\/p>\n<h2>12. \u201cLet\u2019s Get Started If We\u2019re Gonna Break My Heart\u201d (1988)<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the good humor that the Statlers would soon showcase on their televised weekly variety show is on display in this minor hit, a honky tonk-ready tune that tells the story of a doomed love affair. It\u2019s funny, and not only because of the inexplicable calypso piano riffs \u2013 the wordplay and warm resignation is convincing. If the Statlers were no longer atop country radio\u2019s heap, they were still producing the same kind of consistent, grounded country music they had from the beginning.<\/p>\n<h2>11. \u201cHello Mary Lou\u201d (1985)<\/h2>\n<p>The Statlers never did many covers, especially in the later phase of their career. But in reprising this rockabilly hit, they turned a 25-year-old song into a hit, reaching No. 3 on Billboard\u2019s country chart. It has a more straightforwardly country sound than the original, but maintains a solid groove (bolstered by bass Harold\u2019s low end harmonies).<\/p>\n<h2>10. \u201cI Want To Carry Your Sweet Memories\u201d (1972)<\/h2>\n<p>More than most of their peers, the Statler Brothers could write country songs that sounded like they\u2019d been performed forever. \u201cI Want To Carry Your Sweet Memories,\u201d written by Lew DeWitt, is one of those songs, conveying a fairly malevolent sentiment in nearly Biblical language that makes its observations about wanting to stop dealing with an ex sound eternal. Honeyed harmonies, plucked banjo, and fiddle further place the track outside of its modern place and time.<\/p>\n<h2>9. \u201cYears Ago\u201d (1981)<\/h2>\n<p>Don Reid\u2019s songwriting is at its most vivid and concise on this petulant tune, in which a man stops by the wedding of a long-extinguished flame. \u201cThe groom won\u2019t shake hands anyway, and I kissed the bride years ago,\u201d the group sings to a knee-slapping bluegrass groove. The title track of one of the Statlers\u2019 most nostalgic albums \u2013 its cover image was taken in their elementary school auditorium \u2013 \u201cYears Ago\u201d proves not every dip into the past needs to be sugary sweet.<\/p>\n<h2>8. \u201cBed Of Rose\u2019s\u201d (1970)<\/h2>\n<p>Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.udiscovermusic.com\/stories\/bobbie-gentry-fancy-album\/\"><strong>Bobbie Gentry<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s \u201cFancy,\u201d released a year prior, \u201cBed Of Rose\u2019s\u201d uses a titular play on words to challenge conventional ideas about sex workers. In the Statlers\u2019 case, written by the late Harold Reid, the narrator is a formerly destitute young man who was taken in by a woman named Rose who \u201cmanaged a late evening business.\u201d Heart-of-gold tropes being what they are, a predictable ending is made punchier by an explicit indictment of people who \u201cwould go to church but left me in the street.\u201d The resulting single was the group\u2019s second big break, reaching No. 9 on Billboard\u2019s country charts and No. 58 on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n<h2>7. \u201c(I\u2019ll Even Love You) Better Than I Did Then\u201d (1979)<\/h2>\n<p>The Statler Brothers flaunt their seductive side with this one-off single, tacked onto a greatest hits compilation. If the slick countrypolitan balladry doesn\u2019t sell it for you, the line \u201cnothing on but the radio\u201d probably should. It\u2019s one of the most explicitly sexy songs in the gospel-singing group\u2019s repertoire, and finds them putting yet another genuinely fresh spin on regretful post-relationship angst. The single fit well enough with the period\u2019s boudoir country radio singles that it reached No. 8 on Billboard\u2019s country chart.<\/p>\n<h2>6. \u201cElizabeth\u201d (1983)<\/h2>\n<p>The second Statler Brothers No. 1 country song was also Jimmy Fortune\u2019s first contribution to the band as a writer. Fortune took over the tenor spot from Lew DeWitt shortly before <em>Today<\/em> was recorded, and struck gold with the simple love song when he was just 26 years old. (<em>Today<\/em> eventually sold 500,000 copies.) Fortune later said he was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor\u2019s performance in <em>Giant<\/em>. The group eventually performed the song for the star on her 52nd birthday.<\/p>\n<h2>5. \u201cNew York City\u201d (1970)<\/h2>\n<p>An unusual story song, \u201cNew York City\u201d shrouds a torrid tale of pregnancy and infidelity in lilting, comparatively unadorned country production and mellow harmonies. Don Reid wrote and sang lead on this song, which describes a man whose partner has left him to live in New York City \u2013 or as the song describes it, hell. Left unsaid is what exactly the man did to prompt such a drastic move. While not an enormous commercial success, the single showcases the Statlers at the height of their tandem fame with Johnny Cash, performing meaty material in radio-ready style.<\/p>\n<h2>4. \u201cDo You Know \u2018You Are My Sunshine\u2019\u201d (1978)<\/h2>\n<p>Singing about singing became a theme for the Statler Brothers, and it never worked better than this song, in which a mystery woman walks up to the band and requests \u201cYou Are My Sunshine.\u201d The traditional single (which only included a taste of countrypolitan strings) was the band\u2019s first No. 1 on the Billboard country charts, and stayed atop the chart for two weeks \u2013 it was also the only time original Statler Brothers tenor Lew DeWitt would hit No. 1.<\/p>\n<h2>3. \u201cThe Class of \u201857\u201d (1972)<\/h2>\n<p>Fresh off the success of their first nostalgic list song, \u201cDo You Remember These?\u201d \u2013 a near-exact equivalent to contemporary memes about things \u201conly \u201890s kids know\u201d \u2013 which spent four weeks at No. 2 on Billboard\u2019s country charts, the Statler Brothers put a more evocative spin on the concept with \u201cClass of \u201857.\u201d The matter-of-fact song describes the high and low fortunes of many members of a high school class. The song reached No. 6 on the Billboard country charts, and earned them their third Grammy, for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.<\/p>\n<h2>2. \u201cI\u2019ll Go To My Grave Loving You\u201d (1975)<\/h2>\n<p>The nostalgic flair of the Statler Brothers was typically tempered by their sensitivity to the pop music zeitgeist. On \u201cGrave,\u201d though, Don Reid channeled compositions made a century before, giving this deeply traditional, bluegrass-tinged love song the aura of a vintage hymn. It bore little resemblance to its peers on the charts, but it was among their most successful singles of the period \u2013 even reaching No. 93 on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100. The song was the only new single from the best-selling album of their career, the triple-platinum compilation <em>The Best of the Statler Bros<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>1. \u201cFlowers On The Wall\u201d (1965)<\/h2>\n<p>The Statler Brothers\u2019 best-known song sounds like everything and nothing you\u2019ve ever heard. An almost surreal concoction of bluegrass banjo, barbershop quartet-ready harmonies and vivid, eccentric poetry written by Statler tenor Lew DeWitt, the group\u2019s first charting single is a slice of 1960\u2019s Americana \u2013 in that term\u2019s original sense. It reached No. 4 on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100 in 1965 and earned the group four Grammy nominations in both pop and country categories at the 1966 awards. They walked away with the trophies for the best \u201ccontemporary\u201d \u2013 rock \u2013 performance by a group and best new country and western artist. More impressive, though, is their hit\u2019s longevity: It\u2019s been covered by everyone from the Muppets to Nancy Sinatra, and referenced in Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s <em>Palm Sunday<\/em> and <em>Pulp Fiction<\/em>. Not bad for ruminating on wallpaper, smoking cigarettes, and watching Captain Kangaroo; if only the song\u2019s instigating heartbreaker could see the narrator now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think we missed one of the best Statler Brothers songs?
