The Statler Brothers Album: “Country America Loves”

Maybe the collection isn't their absolute best, but it contains several songs I really like which aren't on any of my other albums. If you are a long-time Statler Brothers fan like me, you'll find most of it typically enjoyable.

I rated this CD only 3 stars because it's just not that great. It's still a good listen, I suppose, but it has never really grabbed me. The only two songs I like much on it are "The Movies" and "All I Can Do". it still deserves three stars because it IS the Statlers, and they always do a good job of singing. I almost deducted another star from the rating because they sing "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain", a song they should have just left to Willy Nelson, who does a much more masterful job. This CD is for Statler die-hards. I have learned the hard way.

It is difficult for me to see how anyone can rate this album with five stars. Two selections (Let It Show and Somebody New Will be Coming Along) sound as though one of the microphones is turned off. I like the rest of the album. Not songs that I've heard them sing before.

Amazon said they would look into the bad tracks, but elected to give me a credit rather than fix the problem.

Not a bad song on this album. "All I can Do" and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" particulary good.
