The Statler Brothers / Amen CD

Gaither Music Group joins country legends The Statler Brothers, one of the most awarded acts in the history of country music, in bringing back their beloved AMEN album in a special re-release. The GRAMMY® winning group, whose career spanned nearly four decades, is celebrating their timeless legacy with this collection, which includes cherished tracks like “A Place on Calvary,” “Keep Your Eyes on Jesus,” and “Far Side Banks of Jordan.”

Originally released in 1984, AMEN showcases the Statlers’ heartfelt faith, blending their signature harmonies with encouraging messages. The re-release breathes new life into the iconic album, maintaining the original recording’s charm while delivering fresh inspiration for modern audiences.

Produced by longtime collaborator Jerry Kennedy, AMEN features a collection of songs that reflect the Statler Brothers’ commitment to storytelling through their seamless blend of country and gospel music. This nine-time CMA award winning group has the unmatched ability to weave powerful narratives with rich harmonies which remains a hallmark of the group.

Don Reid reflects on this legacy album:

“AMEN was our final studio album and was always meant to be from the very
conception, thus the title. We knew when we walked out of the studio that night after recording our final song, ‘Jesus Living Next to Me’, that we would never look through the huge glass window and see our long-time friend and producer Jerry Kennedy, sitting by the soundboard, smiling and looking back at us and giving us the thumbs up again. We knew we would never listen to a playback together and enjoy the friendship of a roomful of magnificent musicians again. We knew it was over; we knew it was our decision; and we had a sweet feeling of love and accomplishment after forty years of making music as the four of us went off together to celebrate with dinner.” -Don Reid
