Análisis (en inglés) - :
{\Nostalgia} is the theme of {$the Statler Brothers}' 1972 album {^Country Music Then & Now}, so much so that even the "now" is "then" -- many of the group's new compositions concern the past in one way or another. The album's TopTen hit, {&"The Class of '57,"} is one of the most poignant and melancholy expressions of aging and faded dreams in popular music -- the kind of song that moved {$Kurt Vonnegut} to call {$the Statlers} "America's poets." {&"1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues"} is an ode to the {\country} hits of the '40s and '50s, with an instrumental riff patterned after {$Hank Williams}' yodel in {&"Honky Tonk Blues."} Side One is dominated by the introduction of {$the Statler Brothers}' comedy alter-egos, {$Lester "Roadhog" Moran & The Cadillac Cowboys}, on a nearly 10-minute-long parody of an old-time live {\country} music radio program. Overall, the jokes are too weak and the playing too intentionally poor to give the skit much enduring value, although anyone who remembers the third-rate talent that often filled air time on regional {\country} music stations in the 1930s-'50s will appreciate the premise. {$The Statler Brothers} raised {\nostalgia}-mongering to an art form in the '70s, and {^Country Music Then & Now} contains a few prime examples. ~ Greg Adams, All Music Guide
