The Statler Bros. Random Memories

The Statler Brothers came on the scene in the turbulent 60s as a backup group for Johnny Cash. Their first hit record, "Flowers On The Wall," catapulted them to the top of the charts where they remained for the rest of their long, successful career. Often called the most awarded act in the history of Country Music, the Statlers have multiple Grammy Awards; stacks of gold and platinum albums; decades of standing-room-only concerts; a number one television series that ran for seven seasons; and a staggering list of hit records. The lives they have touched are in the millions and those who have touched theirs are inside this cover.

The Statler Brothers, with their signature blend of four-part harmony, have been firmly rooted in nostalgia from the time they came of age. Their music celebrates American small town life of the 1950s; but they also sing of adult defeats, heartbreaks, and growing old. Legendary author Kurt Vonnegut called the Statler Brothers America's poets. In Random Memories, Harold and Don Reid reflect on their many memories of the things they did, the places they went, and the people they met along the way. On these pages you'll find their unique brand of humor and heartfelt stories that the Statler Brothers have used to entertain audiences for almost four decades.

Reba McEntire says, "I enjoyed getting to know the Statler Brothers while touring with them in the early 80s. I learned a lot from them. They taught me to treat music as a business and that's something I've never forgotten. They always had a great story to tell and a fun song to sing. I can't wait to read their book!"

In Harold and Don Reid's words, "We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did living it."

Harold and Don Reid are brothers by birth and founding members of the Statler Brothers. They are award-winning songwriters, having penned countless hit songs including "Class of '57" (Don and Harold), "Bed Of Rose's" (Harold), and "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You" (Don). Together they co-wrote the #1 television series The Statler Brothers Show and Yesteryear. Harold is the father of five and lives with his wife, Brenda, in Staunton, Virginia. Don, the author of three previously published books and the father of two, lives in Staunton, Virginia, with his wife Deborah.
